11in Flex-Tac stretch ripstop tactical cargo shorts with 12 pockets

Key Features

Mechanical stretch ripstop moves with you while resisting tears and abrasion in demanding environments.

Twelve pockets, including angled cargos and thigh pockets, keep tools, magazines and EDC kit organised.

A fully gusseted crotch removes binding when kneeling, climbing or stepping over obstacles.

A durable water-repellent finish sheds light rain, dirt and spills for easier care.

Low-profile cargo pockets carry essentials without adding bulk to the leg.

A fixed waistband gives a stable, consistent fit under a duty or EDC belt.

The 5.11 Stryke Shorts take the design of the widely used Stryke Pant and cut it down for warm-weather work. Built from Flex-Tac mechanical stretch ripstop, they combine the tear resistance needed for duty and range use with the freedom of movement expected from modern tactical clothing.

A fixed waistband and fully gusseted crotch keep the fit stable when climbing, kneeling or running, while 5.11's signature angled cargo pockets and a set of low-profile thigh pockets give organised storage without unnecessary bulk. A dirt- and water-resistant finish helps the fabric shed light rain, spills and grime, making the shorts easy to keep looking presentable between washes.

About 5.11 Tactical

Founded in 1992, 5.11 Tactical began by refining a climbing pant that was quickly adopted by FBI training staff. The Stryke family grew from that heritage and remains one of the brand's most trusted platforms, with the Stryke Shorts bringing the same field-proven stretch ripstop construction to hot-weather patrol, range and travel use.

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.
