With the same durability, functionality and innovation as our best-selling 5.11 Tactical Short, the 5.11 Academy Short is also preferred by law enforcement, military and fire professionals for both on and off-duty wear. The 5.11 Academy Short comes in 3 colors, with size ranges to fit virtually everyone. Like the 5.11 Tactical Pant, the sturdy, seven-pocket 5.11 Academy Short is complete with 5.11’s trademark rear slash pockets and utility strap.

Quality
Made of tough, 8.5-oz. 100% cotton canvas that becomes increasingly more comfortable over time, the 5.11 Academy Short takes on the demands of work, play and travel. Known for superior comfort, functionality and fit, the shorts feature a 6.5” inseam and a self-adjusting comfort waistband that helps you bend and stretch with ease. Double and triple-needle construction is utilized throughout, plus 45 bartacks in high-stress areas.

Functionality
With a shorter length and a different pocket layout than the 5.11 Tactical Short, the pockets on the 5.11 Academy Short are strong and roomy; a narrow front pocket accommodates a magazine, cell phone or utility knife. The extra deep rear slash pockets are easily accessed and hold extended mags, a baton or a 15” flashlight. You can also use the utility strap to secure a flashlight or store your protective ear gear at the range.

Durability
The 5.11 Academy Short utilizes a proprietary weave that binds in on itself to prevent raveling. For added durability, the magazine/cell phone pocket and corners of the slash pockets are lined with Cordura® nylon. The double reinforced seat provides enhanced abrasion protection.

Hardware
On the 5.11 Academy Short, we use only genuine, locking-flange YKK® zippers and quality PRYM® snaps, both of which are top-of-the-line in the industry.
