THE WORLD IS FULL OF UNKNOWNS. We cannot possibly predict what is going to happen every minute of the day, but we can prepare for it. In the gear we carry, the clothes we wear, the mindset we hold. Whether we are on duty or off duty, in our country or out of cell-range. THIS IS NOT JUST A MOTTO. This is not just a line on a t-shirt. This is how we live our lives. No matter what happens, we push forward, not out of the absence of fear, but in spite of it. Because we trust our instincts, we trust our training, and we trust our gear. At 5.11, we don’t simply inspire readiness, we are readiness. IT ALL STARTED WITH A PAIR OF PANTS. The FBI training academy adopted the original 5.11 pant as its training pant in 1992, forging a decades-long relationship that drives 5.11’s commitment to public safety and the first responder community. 5.11 Tactical began developing a more extensive law enforcement line in 2003. Our designers work together with public safety professionals to create gear that meets the needs of real people in the field. In 2012, we rose to the challenge of redesigning our women’s collection to create better fitting and higher performing options. Our women’s category has grown to include premium uniforms, covert clothing, fitness apparel and more. Today, 5.11 is expanding into the outdoor and fitness markets with products like the Vaporlite short and the ABR trainer. we are determined to meet these new challenges with the same grit and fortitude that has always defined our brand.

My New Favorite Shorts
I prefer shorts and jeans that securely carry my large cell phone in a way that does not displace my keys or EDC setup (knife, small flashlight etc). 5.11 pants and shorts, while pricey, do best fit this need for me.The rear slash pockets of these shorts with inside velcro closures serve well for my phone EXCEPT I must remove it when I sit so I do not put body weight upon it. Objects in this pocket will sit low and behind the upper mid-thigh. This is not a deal-buster for me.I enjoy wearing these while cycling as they prevent the contents of my pockets from loosening or falling while riding on bumpy terrain.I think they look sharp and clean and not baggy or loose as the messenger shorts I normally wear.10 out of 10 for function and meeting my very specific needs.

Perfect Work Shorts
This design of work pants/shorts is made by a ton of different brands with slightly different designs and varying degrees of quality. After buying these 5.11 shorts, I can say that these are by far the highest quality that I’ve purchase and they are well worth the premium price.Pros:Side waist elastic bands vs. one in the middle backNo flaps on the back pocketsTwo flashlight/pen pockets in the frontThicker and more durable materialCons: N/A

My new favorite shorts.
Pockets for everything. Robust corners for knives or lights. Stretch waist band for ease of movement. Durable fabric. I will be ordering more of these.

Expensive but worth the price
I purchased the 5.11 11- inch taclite shorts in dark navy as a bike uniform for work. The shorts are well made and have plenty of pockets that are very deep. The shorts have an elastic waist that make them very comfortable. I purchased a size 36 as that is the size of my waste but I found the thigh area to be a tad tight. So I exchanged them for a 38 and they fit perfect. One awesome thing about the shorts is they repel water. If you spray them with a water bottle the water just falls right off. I am 6'3'' 215 and the shorts come down to just about the middle of my knee cap.

Best Shorts on Amazon!
I live in Thailand and the heat and humidity? Unbelievable at times. I wear shorts on a daily basis, even in their version of winter. Thick enough so no rips or tears. Thin enough so not hot. Pockets, pockets, and more pockets! What's NOT to like?Real men wear these types of shorts. Other men wear...whatever.

Solid work pant makes a solid, around-town, off-duty short.
To be honest, I truly appreciate the pant version, since I wore them for over 15 years at work and now wear them at my retirement job. I got tired of paying high prices for inferior name brand shorts and low prices for inferior cargo shorts at the big box type stores, I have loved these cargo/tactical shorts. The deep rear pockets are nice. I have them in black, the brown and gray. They have lasted over 4 years. Even my wife was impressed as they held their color and look good with a Tee, camp shirt or flannel. I appreciate the flex waistband, as my weight fluctuates at my age during BBQ seasons and holidays. They are even nicer during Amazon Prime sales events.

My new favorite shorts.
I love the 5.11 Taclite pants, This is my first pair of Taclite shorts - they are every bit as good as the pants. They fit as expected and have the perfect balance for me of wear resistance / toughness without feeling heavy. Of course - needless to say, but I'll say it, no knee pad insert pockets on the shorts like the pants have.

Great Strong Clouthing
I only started buying 5.11 Tactical earlier this year. They are strong and reliable. So much so I now own 4 pairs + these to. As I am disabled I need clothing that takes punishment. This brand does that and loads more. Highly recommended.
