It's summer time, so we can't always walk around in tactical pants... But, are there really any good tactical shorts options out there? These are maybe my current favorites, the 5.11 Tactical Terrain Shorts. They offer a generous fit (but not too baggy), a length that I like, and great pockets. It's not all great though - watch the full video to hear the rest of the good, and the bad.

Love my Off The Grid Surplus Field Shorts. Been wearing for a month and they are easily my favorite. Should last forever.
Love your reviews man! I have been liking the Wrangler Men's Authentics Outdoor Comfort Flex Cargo Short. You can find them on amazon. I live in SoCal where shorts are what you wear for 90% of the year. These have been solid for more than a year for me. I've taken them to the range, mountain biking, hiking, and just about everything else. The fit is great as well.They are solid especially for $20. They also make a pants version that I enjoy.
Thank you reviewing these shorts. The pictures online make them look dorky but they do not look that way In your review.
Thanks for review
Viktos Shorts, the Kadre are my favorite, they have nice pocket set up and are extremely comfortable. The EDC shorts are good as well however a bit snug so might want to go a size up.
My favorite shorts right now Dickies Ripstop 11” cargo. Good budget option. Get the ripstop, not the regular work shorts.
If these don’t have buttons for quick stripping, we’re not interested m8. Great review! It sucks blowing money on something and not liking it. ❤️🤙🏽 And love your hats! Fits perfect
In addition to larger belt loops, larger fly, and a different material (cotton/elastane blend probably), I would also want the interior pocket material to be a comfortable mesh and the back pockets to be internal instead of sewn-on pockets. Price would also have be $40 or less so I could buy 7 pairs to wear all the time.
They are available in pants also. They are called stonecutters. I have a pair they are awesome.
I love their athos shorts and stryke shorts.
Just FYI, when you're talking about the length from the waist down to the crotch seam, that is called the 'rise' of the pant/short. Love the videos!
Mike, that belt looks OD? I have one of the black ones and love it. Is that the color of the LLOD belt that’s coming soon, or do you have some kinda mad hookup? Keep up the Great work.
Leather.” Thank you for sharing.👍
Try the vikos shorts, they have some good ideas. I personally have never tried them but they seem like they bring some ideas to the table.
I prefer the 5.11 apex shorts. The cargo pocket is close to the body but you can put 4 30-round AR mags in them. Not that you need to. I like the stretch to them. Great video!

Nick Kaz seriously, they are awesome. My favorite shorts.
My favorite is Helikon-Tex Urban Tactical Shorts
When will you make p320 holsters that take a tac light, I really want to buy one of your holsters but want to carry with an o light
Hey Mike. I am debating on which light for my FDE cz p10c aplc or the Valkyrie mini? I also have a m&p 2.0 compact 4” all black apex flatty trigger burnt bronze, what light would you add to each and what colorway ? My friend would sell me his FDE limited edition pl mini if I wanted it So : FDE p10c : what model and colorway Black m&p2.0 compact burnt bronze apex flatty trigger : what model light and colorway Thanks
Hey mike, how’s the fit on these? True to size?
I thought I remembered from your reviews that you liked the Apex and the Ridgeline pants. I've said it on the previous video, but I'll say it again: Try the Apex and Vaporlite shorts. Vaporlites are modified Ridgelines, and Apex are pretty much like the pants.
Hey brother, would you mine doing a review of Vertx's Phantom LT 2.0 shorts. That's if you didn't already planned to...lol
Check out their apex shorts. Should check off most of your checklist in features.
Are you grabbing a pair of tactical distributors Carlos Ray shorts in time for a summer review?
Another good review. I prefer a 6-8 “ inseam.!! Hard to find sometimes

If you had to take a pair of tactical pants and get them cut into shorts which ones would it be?
I saved you time they are 60 bucks

Wow! Late to the video but they're down to $23 now.
I've got 3 pairs of the 5.11 Apex. They're great but I do wanna try those Vertx ones. Don't tell my wife lol
Is your holster video coming soon?
Like on the pants.👍
What type of shoes or boots do you use with your shorts ????
If you don't mind the extra cost, take take your tactical pants to a tailor and have them turn them into shorts, you can have the length you want. Mike likes eleven inch inseam, I like them a little longer at thirteen inches. Carry knee pads in your EDC or BO bag if the SHTF while you're wearing shorts.
Hey man, I feel ya about designing a good pair of shorts or pants. I've reached out to several companies and they either don't respond or make me send my resume, then don't respond. But I guess a product designer doesn't count because I'm not an 'operator'. Anyhow, I'll help design some pants if you get anyone to respond. I've got some ideas I haven't seen so far. I don't understand why it's so hard to make stuff that makes sense. lol
Bruh I’m telling you, the 5.11 Athos is where it’s at
Maybe Viktos Shorts??
Wish you would ship to Sweden.
What kind of key holder was that

Are they stretchy?
Creo que a estas reseñas de pantalones le hacen falta una prueba de obstáculos. En dónde se salte, suban muros y otros posibles obstáculos. Sin este apartado, para mí están incompletos.
Question, about how much bigger do you go on your waist size when you appendix carry compared to if you weren’t carrying ?

Joylessburrito 8 I’m skinny. I wear 32 waist, but I fit into a lot of 30 waist clothes so I’m really a “31” waist. I just buy my usual waist size and the pants stretch a little. I always wear a belt so it’s never an issue.

Thanks for making it extremely awkward with the crotch shots comment lol
Why did you stop using the stainless sharpie?

I still use it most of the time. I just had a full-size sharpie in my pocket because I had been working on some projects that day.
5.11 make there shorts too dam short. As a 6'5 1/2 my only option for shorts is Rothcos longer style BDU shorts. I may try to cut my tactile pants into shorts. I like my shorts to be below the knee.
Im not sure how i feel about what i just watched for the duration of my break.🙆🙆😁😂

Just cut your delta stretch pants from vertx. Easily become the best tactical shorts.
dont think 5.11 Tactical Terrain Shorts exist anymore. what's the 5 year update?
If you missed the first video, you missed a lot.
Too short for me. Below the knee is where it's at for men. I know Millennials like the nut huggers. I just can't do it....
Sir please give me one horts ilike that..thankyou
5.11 Shorts always look like they are made for an old man. Always cut too short in the length. My solution has been to take their regular Tac-lite pants, or stryke pants and have them cut off and hemmed.

Rob Sanford I would associate old mens shorts with a longer inseam. Interesting.

I agree. I like my shorts to come below my knee. After trying lots of shorts, i ended up with lapg operator shorts w/ 11” inseam. Closest to perfect length i could find.
@raphaelbeinhauer9242

gtslow7 I have a pair of those and don't like that length at all. For me, the LAPG Elite Operator shorts are a perfect 10". I've tried on some 5.11 9 1/2" shorts, those are perfect for me.

i know what u mean, but i think that's mostly the way they model them. When you put them on a normal person like mike, they seem to look way more standard than they do on their online pics.
Seem tight around legs
Should’ve ended the video with 1 minute of uninterrupted eye contact. So it’d be less awkward.
Last few 5.11 pants I had faded within a few months. Whatever dyes or process they are using sucks.

I've used the class A pants for work for years and never had this problem. The fading is a new thing.

John Space I'm guessing you mean the Fast-tac Urban pants. I wonder if this is going to happen on all new runs of pants or only some models. My black pants (Stryke and Ridgeline) are both from last year and have been worn alot, nothing on them yet, I will see how my battle brown apex pants hold up, bought them 4 weeks ago. Did you notice the fading after washcycles or just with wear? Also, is it a uniform fading or only some areas/ spots. Try contacting 5.11 to see what they say about it.
