Tactical 5in Liner Short handles hard training with a tough, water-ready ripstop design
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I've worn the Tactical Short for everything from weighted rucks to HIIT sessions in 90-degree heat. The tough waistband stays put, even under a ruck, and the quick-dry fabric means I can jump in a lake post-run without changing. The Every Session Carry pocket system is legit—nothing bounces."
Backcountry Romantic Copy
From heavy lifts in the gym to trail runs and water-based workouts, the Tactical Short is built for high-output movement with a design tested by elite operators. Its ultra-light ripstop shell holds up under pressure, and the water-ready construction dries fast after a sweaty session or post-run dip. Whether we’re training for the next race or grinding through a daily routine, this short is built to go.
We appreciate how the reinforced waistband stays in place through dynamic movements, while the Every Session Carry pocket system keeps our essentials secure and close at hand. For even more comfort and versatility, the built-in compression liner option adds support with an anti-odor treatment that stays fresh longer. A side slit enhances mobility during deep squats or high steps, and the 5in inseam lets us move how we choose.

Tactical short
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Initially I got a size large in both tactical and the strength shorts. The tactical shorts ran a little small but processing an exchange for the next size up was free,fast and easy. The xl fits great and is my new favorite pair of workout/ hiking shorts.

My interest is fading
Tac shorts are alright but are getting outrageously expensive. Prefer no liners because they are lighter and easier to clean when traveling. No liner not offered in any style latterly. Large tac short very tight in waist compared to earlier versions and I’m a 33 waist. Looking for alternative brand.

Do not recommend
I have three pairs of these shorts all have stitching tear at the right side of the waistband within a few months of purchase. One pair I can not return for warranty since i bought with points.

Runs VERY small
Let me start by saying that I have several pair of the interval shorts, and love them! I picked up a couple pair of the tactical shorts on sale, expecting the same and am very disappointed. The quality is NOT the same, nor is the fit. The medium interval shorts fit me GREAT - the tacticals - well, let's just say they don't leave much to the imagination. Super tight!

Rips easily after normal use. DO NOT BUY.
This brand spends more on mareting than quality control. I have had 4 pair of these shorts and all 4 have torn in the same spot. That is a manufacturing issue.

Great shorts
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great fit on these shorts. They are a slimmer fit than the Interval short with a sturdier waist band. Highly recommend.

Bad quality, do not recommend
Liked the shorts originally. Bought four pairs of the tacticals and had no complaints. However, within a year, the outside seam on every single pair started coming apart from top to bottom. Every pair also started pilling very bad. Emailed ten thousand to inform them of the issue since it was every single pair. They told me since it was not within the warranty timeframe, there was nothing they could do for me. I suppose I understand this but if they are okay with this kind of quality I will not be buying from them in the future and would recommend the same to you.
