The 24-7 Series O/D Shorts are constructed from a poly/cotton rip-stop material with a stain-resistant Teflon coating.

These durable shorts are ideal for work or casual use, featuring extra deep front pockets, a customized TRU-SPEC original Prym snap, and a YKK brass zipper. The engineered dimensional fit ensures a comfortable fit, while the pretreated garment wash prevents shrinkage and color fading. Additional features include two knife/accessory pockets with stiff fusing interlining, two cargo pockets with signature 24-7 Series hook & loop closures and bellowed side gussets, and two internal magazine compartments in both cargo pockets. A cell phone/magazine pocket is also included. The shorts have a 9-inch inseam and 6cm belt loops, with a zip-up fly. Available in olive green, these shorts are suitable for men.

I now own 4 pairs of these shorts. I wear them daily into the Sonoran desert. I highly recommend them for rugged outdoor wear. The small bottom flapped pocket on each side is handy for a hand gun magazine or survival tools. The large flapped cargo pocket on each side is roomy and has two inner magazine pouches for rifle magazines such as M1 carbine or AR’s. There are two large rear pockets, but my favorite pocket on each side on your hip is the pocket ideal for Swiss Army knive or small flashlite. I have tried other brand name “tacticool” shorts but none compare to Tru-Spec. Do yourself a favor and buy these shorts. The down side is that you will scoff at all the other “Also run wannabies”.Rick RinehartTucson, Arizona

The Cargo pocket with the magazine pockets inside hold my CCW pistol without holster. I can tuck my shirt in without anyone noticing I'm Carrying, Not the fastest access, but I have it on me. Pistol does bump my leg when I walk, but NO One Ever Notices it. After a while I don't even notice it.I usually Carry a Beretta Nano, but the Glock 19 fits also. Just stick the barrel into the front Magazine pocket and close the flap. A belt is necessary because of the extra weight. Even ride my motorcycles with it there, Never falls out. Slide eventually wears a small hole in the pocket. Driving a car is OK and you can access it better and is way more comfortable than an in the belt holster. I have been telling a lot of my friends and they are getting them too. Same with the ... MoreThe Cargo pocket with the magazine pockets inside hold my CCW pistol without holster.

Decent shorts that are true to size on waist and fits relatively well but has a LONG 9 inseam that stops just above the knees.The expandable waist works well and hopefully will last a few years as it tends to stretch over time on other brands' pants.Why do companies insist on LONG inseams instead of shorter ones like 7 (or 5)? Make the Shorter inseam versions!The khaki color is Much Darker than the photo shows.The side tiny pockets are meant for magazine clips as an encased iPhone 5S barely fits with the top protruding on the pocket's top. The left side pockets are identical to the right side pockets. The rear pockets are a bit snug to fit a wallet. Front pockets are deep. Wished that buttons were used instead of velcro to secure the side and rear pockets.The ... MoreDecent shorts that are true to size on waist and fits relatively well but has a LONG 9 inseam that stops just above the knees.The expandable waist works well and hopefully will last a few years as it tends to stretch over time on other brands' pants.Why do companies insist on LONG inseams instead of shorter ones like 7 (or 5)?

The 36W shorts fit true to size. Hopefully it won't expect to shrink considering that it's 65/35 poly/cotton.Hopefully, the elastic waistband will last a few years as they tend to stretch out over time, at least in other brand's pants I've owned.I'm used to 5" or 7" shorts so these are a bit long. Wished that companies would make shorter 7" shorts as there's some Abnormal obsession with long shorts! Some guys DO like SHORT inseam shorts!The 24-7 ripstop fabric seems heavier than the 5.11 version but sturdier though time will tell. It's relatively pricey so hopefully the shorts will last a few years.The small-sized side pockets barely hold an encased iPhone 5S so it's really meant to carry something smaller, like a mag clip, as the iPhone's top sticks up from ... MoreThe 36W shorts fit true to size.

The fabric makes a slight swishing noise when moving but hopefully it will disappear as it's washed and worn over time.The khaki color is more of a DARK Khaki than what the photo shows instead of a typical light sand-colored khaki.It does get a bit wrinkly so some ironing may be needed to remedy that.
I love the layout, quality and features of these shorts! However, they are nowhere near lightweight! They soak up sweat and do not release or breathe. Sadly, I bought several and they are not appropriate for hot weather wear, here in SW Florida. If they made a summerweight pant like the Propper line offers or a different material weight, they would be perfect and I would buy a dozen, today! I used to buy Wrangler nylon cargo shorts, but they discontinued the line. They were perfect weight and certainly cheaper, but nowhere near the features of these. I would trade the weight and breathability over features any day. C'mon TRU-SPEC, make these lighter and moisture/sweat rejecting!
I really like these tactical shorts. Great functional pockets. The interior waistband definitely has a comfort feel to it. The expanding waistband is perfect. Only drawbacks are that the cargo pockets are placed a little too low therefore anything in those pockets will bang against your knee. And, the cargo pockets are just slightly too large so anything in these pockets will move around and rotate more than it should. I simply wish I could design my own tactical shorts and pants to perfection (sigh). That being said, I recommend these tactical shorts.
These pants have:- Deep front pockets- Cargo pockets with a divider- An outside-accessible phone pocket in the cargo pocket--I like this better than trying to grab my phone from the inside of the cargo pocket. Also the phone pocket is deep enough for a 6" phone, unlike some other brands of cargo shorts.- The cargo pocket has a small additional pocket which is ideal for little things like hotel key cards.- Knife pocket is great for flashlights or (I guess) knives.
I am a big guy. 6' and around 310 lbs. I wear a 52" jean and belt size. Since I am heavy, when it is hot I much prefer shorts. But I am not a fan of either '70's / 80's short shorts or the 90's and 2000's super long shorts (which look a heck of a lot like "floods", short pants, or "knicker-bockers" to me. The shorts fit as described accurate waist and wear just above the knee.These shorts are plain, but stylish and functional shorts. They are cotton/poly so they breathe, but are durable and very stain resistant (important to me, because I live on a farm -- poop happens.) Galls and Tru-Spec seem to cater to the uniform, police, and fire/rescue crew set, so there are a lot of pockets and holders for anything you need to carry. Solid fabric and good stitching, so you ... MoreI am a big guy. 6' and around 310 lbs. I wear a 52" jean and belt size. Since I am heavy, when it is hot I much prefer shorts.

Solid fabric and good stitching, so you don't have to worry about ripping out a pocket or poking a hole in a pocket. I feel they are stylish enough to be "work" shorts up to business casual shorts.They do have a hidden "gaberdine"(?) (i.e. stretch band) in the waist. That also appears durable, but the shorts are very true to size, and have good solid belt loops so if you order your size and have a belt, you don't need the elastic -- although it is nice to have.Drawbacks? On sale I think these are a very good value (as of today 9/23/2017 they are $23.99 here at Galls.) However the retail MSRP is between $50 and $56. That's a lot of money for a pair of shorts no matter how "nice" or durable they are. Also, while I like the 50/50 cotton/poly blend, the fabric is a bit stiff. I would have preferred a 60/40 or 65/35 cotton blend: a bit softer and more breathable, but sacrificing some easy to care for and durability.Still, bottom-line, these are an excellent pair of shorts, good for work or play, and a great value at Gall's sale price.
These are quality cargo shorts, but if you have shorter legs, the hems tend to grab the top of the knee with each stride. It makes them very uncomfortable and seems to exasperate effort when getting tired. Kinda like running on sand. I'm 5'7". Someone with longer legs would really like these.
Great price and value. I’ve been wearing these shorts for many years. Solid construction and great utility in temperate climates where I live. I love the extra pocket behind the large cargo pockets on flank of the legs! Great improvement from originals. Rip-stop material very durable!
