Review on Men'S Taclite Pro Shorts 9.5-Inch, Made With Poly/Cotton Ripstop Fabric And Teflon Finish, Style 73287 By 5.11 Tactical by Nick Nunez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great all-around shorts - hiking biking, looking tacticool if that's your thing.

Great all-around shorts! Not only do you get the laugh factor of their being actual, real-life "tactical shorts" (like in Reno-911) but they're damned good shorts! The cargo pockets don't sag out, there's a nifty cell phone pocket (for a flip phone or small smartphone) holder for a flashlight or something, lots of belt loops, lots of reinforcement points everywhere, Teflon(tm) fabric protection and they're made of that nifty rip-stop fabric. I wear these riding my bike, and just about everywhere. The only "bug" I've experienced is, eventually, after tons of wear, the snap on the front will get "tired" and randomly pop open. But that's only a factor if you're the kind of guy who wears shorts without a belt, and the 5.11 belts are very good too.

Pros
  • The shorts offer sun protection with a UPF rating of 50+
Cons
  • The shorts are too utilitarian
