10in Flex-Tac ripstop tactical shorts with stretch panels and angled cargos

Key Features

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

Stretch contrast panels add mobility for climbing, crouching and carrying loads.

Angled cargo pockets with internal dividers keep kit separated and easy to find.

Eight pockets including knife-ready hand pockets and flap-closed rear pockets.

A comfort waistband holds a snug, secure fit through a long day.

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

The 5.11 Icon Shorts are built for comfort while carrying gear in harsh environments. Their Flex-Tac ripstop body resists tears and abrasion, while stretch contrast panels add extra mobility where the body needs it most, creating a short that feels as good on a long day outdoors as it does on duty.

5.11's signature angled cargo pockets, complete with internal dividers and asymmetrical flaps, keep maps, tools and kit organised and easy to reach. Knife-reinforced hand pockets, front welt utility pockets and flap-closed rear pockets complete the eight-pocket layout. A comfort waist, reinforced belt loops and a gusseted crotch combine for a secure, flexible fit, and a DWR finish helps repel dirt and water.

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.

Sizing instructions diagram
Measurements are approximate — for the best fit, compare against a similar garment you already own.
