tundra is Olive green!

Switched from 5.11 short 11" leg to the 9.5". These seemed smaller in the waist and fit - so it's not just the leg length that is different. I have short legs 31" so the 11" hits my knees, where the 9.5 is just above the knee.Also the Tundra color, in the 11" I got a brown short in the 9.5" tundra is a olive green color short. Picture included.The color not a big deal - I like olive green but it certainly doesn't match the color pictures. The overall smaller size is concerning thou, really didn't expect just switching leg length would also affect - waist and hip measurements. I take a 36" size and have several style of 5.11 short and pants, this my first 9.5" short and it runs smaller then my other 5.11 brands.The pockets are a little smaller but still fit my Spec -ops wallet, so that works for me.https://www.amazon.com/Spec-Ops-Brand-T-H-E-Wallet-Multicam/dp/B0029XC49Q/ref=sr_1_19?keywords=Spec.-Ops.%2BBrand&qid=1646671463&sr=8-19&th=1Loses a star because color is confusing and sizing is smaller then other 5.11 brands.

Pros
  • The gusseted construction allows for a full range of motion without hindrance
Cons
  • The shorts are not appropriate for business casual attire
