## Description

What to do, when it&apos;s stifling hot and yet you need to go tactical and need all the tactical functionality of the UTP pants? Try the UTS, Urban Tactical Shorts or our best-selling pants cut-down version. The cut and pockets layout allow them to stay civilian enough not to disclose the wearer&apos;s identity, while still allowing to wear full set of tactical equipment. Elastic velcro-closed belt allows a measure of adjustment within the size. Large belt loops allow wide belts like EDC, UTL or Cobra. Plus the cut (nicked from blue jeans, out of all to choose from) prevents loosing the shorts while wearing. By judicious layout of the pockets, equipment can be placed close to the center mass, around the hips and waist. Front and rear pockets edges are reinforced to withstand constant movement of light or knife clips. Two velcro-closed front pockets are big enough to carry a smartphone & or even an AR/AK rifle magazine. Thigh zippered pockets look flat & but its design allows pouches or wallets to be carried with ease. A wide variety of colors allows to match shorts to the rest of wardrobe or working conditions.

## Features

- Two key loops, D-ring or karabiner compatible, Classic jeans &neck shape prevents riding down

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    High quality pair of rugged shorts...just get a size bigger than your fit.
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 September 2019*

I don't ever get enthused over a pair of shorts - but I'll make an exception in this case.I ordered a size up after reading the reviews, Im a 36 waist and the XL are a perfect fit but advertised as 37-39. The shorts, in short, are awesome. They arrived surprisingly well packaged and felt quite weighty to hold despite feeling light weight when worn....go figure that one.They are comfortable and as tough as old boots. There are 6 front pockets and 4 rear and they are well positioned, deep and discreet. I got a black pair and the pockets have a low profile which is a bonus because I don't really like that cargo-pants-dad look. I have to say, I love them and I'm getting another pair when the grey is back in stock. They feel like a much more expensive pair of shorts and perfect for hiking/festivals/vigilantism etc any activity that justifies having 10 pockets.Downsides - The velcro fastener is a bit odd rather than a button, but it does allow for some adjustment. One of my kids thinks they are 'lame' because they don't have 'North Face' printed on them. He wont be thinking that when i SWAT him in his room later.

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 April 2020*

Good quality product 3XL/regular  is a 40" waist..  Lots of secure pockets and YKK zip.  An inch or two of stretch at back if need. Good spacing of belt straps.. Will take standard belt. Mixture of zip and felco fastened pockets. The cloth appears to be good quality and stitching should have good wear resistance.. Ideal for everyday use and business causal smart..

    They fit snug across your hips!
  

*by D***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 May 2019*

These shorts are exactly what I wanted. I’m going abroad on holiday and I like having lots of useful pockets but I didn’t want them to look too military.These shorts, dry quickly are strong and have all the pockets you could want. The mobile phone pocket actually fits my iPhone 7+ in.The waist has an elastic piece in the back to help with fit and to keep them comfy when moving the material has a slight stretch too.The waist does up with a Velcro closure like board shorts or MMA shorts. I feel like I could use these shorts in the gym or pool if I wanted to.The fit is unusual they are quite snug across the hips. When I first put them on I thought they were too small but after I’d worn them for a few minutes the elastic waist and the slight stretch of the material meant they fit well and they are actually very comfy. Just took some getting used to.All in all these shorts are great! Suitable for hiking, holidays and day to day use.I do think they are slightly expensive at the £40 mark but they are much better quality than some of the tactical style shorts out there. They’re almost as good as 5.11 and cost about £20 less. So a good compromise.
