Tru-SpecMen's 24-7 Series Original Tactical Short

Awesome shorts. Well made and they do repel water and oil-based liquids. (to a degree). They are very comfortable. I do has some small things I would have preferred they change, but I am not dinging the product because it works as described. Here are the changes I would rather see.1. Reinforced section on the bottom of the front pocket when you clip your folder to.(your knife) I know they have a dedicated pocket to use to hold your knife or whatever, but it's positioned a little behind the front pants pocket and the rear wallet pocket. Also, the front outer cellphone/magazine pocket needs to be a little deeper to better secure larger capacity magazines. My 10 rd mags fit perfectly, but my 17 rd mags not so well. It will hold them, but you have to really pull the pocket flap over to secure the Velcro and it just barely secures. The mag pockets located inside the side cargo pockets do hold the 17 rd mags and also 19 rd mags. The outer phone/magazine pocket will hold two 10 rd mags easily, as do the inner pockets - holding 9 mm mags. There are two inner pockets inside each side cargo pocket. They will each hold a standard 30 rd mag (Magpul or regular mil-spec metal) for an AR platform. I cannot speak for larger calibers. This goes for the pistol mag pockets as well, I carry 9 mm mags in them. These shorts seem to be very well made, they are comfortable. My rigger belts which are pretty wide, fit very nicely. The only thing I will say is that I haven't really put these shorts through the paces with all the pockets loaded with mags. That's not a normal configuration for me. Depending on where I am going I may carry up to 2 pistol mags, but if I need to carry 4 AR magazines, I will kit up. and use a vest. I just say this because adding the extra weight of 4 AR mags and a couple pistol mags could stress the seams and stitching. These shorts would probably hold up to that kind of abuse, but I cant address that specifically. It's probably convenient for range use, but I wouldn't really want magazines slapping me on my outer knees when I'm running around. My bottom line is that for the money I saved buying these vs. 5.11's which I own several of the taclite pants, these are a great buy. The 5.11 have the reinforced pockets that I like, but I don't like them so much to pay $10 more bucks. So for what I paid, I am completely satisfied and in fact bought another pair. One piece of advice: Be sure to turn your shorts inside out before washing them. Don't wash in hot water, do dry on high heat. Wash them in cold water, and dry on low. (same if you have waterproof/rip stop pants) Oh and don't use fabric softeners on them. Besides the obvious fact that they make your clothes smell, I think it can foul up the waterproofing qualities. Because if you've been in the field before, you know that "spring time fresh Downy" doesn't smell like any springtime I've ever deployed to.The pics have notes on them so you can know what I had in the pocket. I didn't test any 17 or 19 rd mags because they did not fit the way I would want them to, so I won't wear.

I'm a fan of BDU style shorts. I've worn out many pairs of BDU pants cut and hemmed to shorts length. These are superior to traditional BDU's in several respects. One, the internal waist band elastic is better than the old style side adjuster tabs on the traditional BDU shorts. More comfortable as well. Second, the cargo pockets have an extra pocket with open top to tuck your cellphone or a clip-style pocketknife into. Third, on the outside of the cargo pocket there is a small velcro pocket, not found on the original BDU pants. Fourth, inside the waistband is an inner button closure. This is in addition to the heavy-duty snap closure. The button is a traditional BDU pants button, which is a nice touch. Other points... The quality of the fabric is very good, nice and not too heavy, with nice stitching.. There is also a purpose-made knife pocket just behind the front pocket near the side seam, it fits my small pocketknife but may be a bit too small some of the larger folders. This is my new standard for shorts... I'll probably buy 2-3 more pairs and get rid of all my worn out BDU shorts. In case you didn't figure it out, I highly recommend these shorts. I purchased these with my own money, and I receive no renumeration for this review.

Shorts fit great. I like the flexible waist band. They have a tremendous amount of pockets which I love. As for them being a khaki colored, they are more olive drab in coloration. Aside from that, I like them and would by them again.

I never thought I'd be writing a review for a pair of shorts, yet here we are.These are really fantastic, and in my opinion, the location and sizes of the pockets are very well thought-out. Particularly the "slots" above each of the side cargo pockets - I carry two phones, work/personal, and these are perfect for that. My rather large Note 8 fits with room to spare - actual size is 3.5" wide opening and 6.5" deep.The elastic waist is really comfortable, with a little over 2" of travel, so whether you're at the tail end of a 10-mile hike or the tail end of Thanksgiving dinner, these are really comfortable in the waist. Always snug, but never tight - don't even need a belt. The material is comfortable and durable - feels a lot like the warm weather ACUs - and while they're not waterPROOF, they're certainly water resistant.All said, I know I'll be ordering some more pairs - these are really great and I'd recommend to anyone.

These are perfect, I like the elastic waist band, great pockets for my cell phone and wallet. Very well made and they seem to be able to last a long time. I also like the velcro to secure the pockets since I've been petrified by my wallet falling out of my other ones, I'm ordering another pair now.

Nice selection of colors, very comfortable to wear, love the flex waist.

You know when you've scored a win with good fitting shorts like these beauties. Perfect in design, form, and function. I've even had people compliment them, which never happens and I actually look forward to putting them on; the shorts that is...;o) When most pockets are filled with everything I carry, the secure fit and comfort remains despite the extra load...JS

They feel great! Great quality! Highly recommend them!

Great fit, tough.

Excelente la tela de buenísima calidad, cumple lo que ofrece, muy bien.

There is one problem with most pants of this type, they do not have air conditioning in the crotch, which limits comfort. Other than that, great

La tela resistente, pero ligera y las costuras muy fuertes. Ya voy a comprarlos por segunda vez. A lo mejor un poco ajustados, pero su mecanismo de ajuste se adapta perfecto para que no te aprieten.

Excelente calidad
