Lightweight 9.5in Taclite ripstop tactical shorts with eight pockets

Key Features

Lightweight polyester/cotton ripstop resists tears while staying cool in warm conditions.

Eight pockets including deep front, rear and thigh pockets organise EDC and duty essentials.

An extra layer at the seat adds durability where wear is greatest.

An adjustable waistband allows the fit to move with you through a long shift.

A hip-mounted D-ring offers a secure anchor point for keys and small kit.

A durable water-repellent finish helps shed dirt, spills and light rain.

The 5.11 Taclite Pro Shorts are a long-standing favourite for anyone who needs lightweight, hard-wearing shorts with genuine tactical storage. Made from 5.11's Taclite polyester/cotton ripstop, they are noticeably lighter than traditional cotton canvas while still standing up to daily use on duty, at the range or in the outdoors.

Eight pockets, including extra-deep front pockets, strap-and-slash rear pockets and thigh-mounted utility pockets, provide practical everyday carry options. A double-reinforced seat, bartacking at key stress points and double stitching extend service life, while the adjustable waistband allows the fit to be fine-tuned throughout the day. A dirt- and water-resistant finish completes a dependable warm-weather short.

Trousers Fit Guide

Looser Tighter

Relaxed

The loosest cut through the seat and thigh, with a straight line down to the leg opening for maximum room to move.

Regular

A balanced fit with space to move without feeling baggy — straight through the knee to the leg opening.

Straight

A clean, straight line from thigh to ankle with a slight taper at the leg opening for a tidier finish.

Slim

Cut close through the thigh and knee, tapering to a slim leg opening for the trimmest silhouette.

Sizing Instructions

How to Measure
Use your chest, neck, and arm length to find the right size for tops and outerwear. Use your waist measurement — where you actually wear your trousers — for bottoms and belts.

Neck
Measure around the base of your neck, where a collar would sit.

Chest
Measure under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Arm Length
Slightly bend your elbow. Measure from the center back of your neck, over the top of your shoulder, and down to your wrist.

Pant Waist
Measure around your natural waistline — where your trousers actually sit, not necessarily your narrowest point.

Hip
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Inseam
Measure from the crotch straight down the inside of the leg to your ankle, or to your preferred trouser length.
