When bulging cargo pockets and camo patterns aren't your thing but you want shorts with lots of pockets for your stuff, here's your summertime tactical solution!

• Elastic material and crotch gusset
• Hidden pockets with easy access for smartphones etc.
• High durability
• Fabric weight 390 g/m² / 11.5 oz

What's unique about these shorts is the unassuming looks, but there's more than meets the eye. Extra pockets are hidden in plain sight to keep things available for grabs. When stashed behind the side seams, your smartphone won't dig into your thighs or slip under your butt when you sit.

Made in Estonia (EU) by Masi company.

Cut and features

The starting point was obviously the Varusteleka Tactical Jeans with the legs cut to 23 cm / 9".

The fit is best described as "plain" or "regular". We didn't incorporate any bagginess for pocket space, because the material stretch handles it. The belt loops are big enough for a 50 mm / 2" belt but work fine with regular 40 mm / 1.6" belts as well. Button fly.

• Mid rise waist
• Stretchy, non-restricting material
• 50 mm / 2" belt loops
• Button fly
• Crotch gusset
• Ten useful pockets:
  • Two ordinary side pockets
  • Two (pistol mag size) smaller pockets inside each side pocket
  • Two ordinary back pockets
  • Two (assault rifle mag size) hidden back pockets

Model update: all new shorts have a reduced inseam length of 23 cm / 9" (down from 36 cm / 14"). The old models have the longer inseam indicated next to the waist size. If the size isn't accompanied by any special note, it's with the shorter inseam.

Ten pockets

In addition to the usual front and rear pockets, the front pockets have two flat "coin pockets" per side. Even the smaller ones are big enough for a pistol magazine, folding knife or multi-tool.

In the rear, you'll find two slash pockets behind the side seams. A yoke conceals the mouth, so it's "not there". The pockets are large enough for a smartphone or tourniquet, but by coincidence also fit something you can use to feed an Evil Black Gun.
