Review on 🩳 5.11 Tactical Men's 9-Inch Work Shorts in Cotton Canvas Fabric with Action Waistband, 7 Pockets, Style 73285 by Jeffrey Mosqueda

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Almost perfect shorts, though.

I'm a big fan of cotton trousers and shorts 5.11. These shorts are very comfortable and fit great. They have the same pockets as the matching trousers; Cargo pockets on the legs are not as deep, their depth is limited by the length of the shorts. I have a few pairs and wear them all summer. I'd give them five stars except for two things: First, these 5.11 shorts don't have a belt loop on the outside of the thigh. While the belt loop isn't really needed to hold the shorts up, the belt loops prevent things from riding too far forward or backward on your belt, and considering they're labeled "tactical" shorts I guess that 5.11 recognizes the importance of the belt Loops on the outside of the thigh. Second, the color choices on these shorts are limited to four colors, of which I only like one (khaki). I also have a pair of green ones, which is fine, but the pants come in about ten colors; Why can't there be so many options for shorts?

Pros
  • military
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
