5.11 Tactical ™ Shorts are special purpose-built shorts designed to carry bulky items and remain durable. Like all 5.11 Tactical ™ clothing, only the finest components are used in construction – from the 100% Cotton Tactical Canvas to the Prym® snap and YKK® zipper. The short has double fabric in the seat and thirty-six bartacks (reinforcement stitching) at stress points for superior strength.
