5.11 Tactical Shorts Reimagined

I'm a fan of the 5.11 Tactical Shorts, model #. Went to Raven. They had 5.11 in the style I wanted. There is no model number, it's just listed on the label as 5.11 Tactical. Today I wore it to the shooting range for the first time. It's close to a fake. The large side pockets are smaller, the legs are 1" longer, the small side pocket has been repositioned, the material seems thinner, the legs look like balloons, the inseam, although listed as 9", seems significantly longer . I appreciate Coupon 5.11 but if you're looking for tactical shorts I wouldn't recommend these. Sometimes I take a tactical break and wear LL Bean Pathfinder shorts. Built like a tank, and hold dual stack magazines like they were made for it.

Pros
  • 100% Cotton
Cons
  • Upgradeable
