Reviews

What a steal of a deal!

"Great quality shorts for whatever. Made tough and built to last. Material is not thin. Inseam could be longer but is long enough. You will never find shorts of this quality at this price. Never."

— Jesus C. (5/5)

Nice shorts

"Love the midnight navy color (classic one). Have the large pockets advertised without sacrificing the apperance. The DRW coating is working to keep water in bead form off the surface. Haven't tested in light/heavy rain though."

— Guangyin Y. (5/5)

These First Tactical Men's A2

"These First Tactical Men's A2 Short - 11" Inseam are leaning more toward a clean "dress short" style than typical bulky cargo shorts. The fit is excellent, and the material is surprisingly burly and durable. The zippers work smoothly, and the belt loops easily accommodate my concealed carry belt. The colors look great, too. Overall, these are very nice shorts and an absolute steal for the price."

— Joseph W. (5/5)

First Tactical Shorts

"Very good quality and construction. Took a chance as sizing is so variable. I have 36 waist shorts as well as 38 waist shorts that fit the same due to different sourcing. So I bought 38. Fit fine but just a tad big but nothing that a belt doesn’t handle. Guess that I’m a true 37 waist which is a unicorn. I get it. Back to the review. I found these well worth the money."

— Mark O. (5/5)

Good work grade fabric, dark

"Good work grade fabric, dark colors will hide stains better, fabric doesn't breathe well in really hot Texas weather. If pocket carrying a handgun, the upper regular pocket is easier to use than the lower large pocket. It's still a great buy overall."

— Julio R. (5/5)

Own 5 pairs now

"These are my EDC shorts for work, and at home. Very well made, especially for the price. I'm between a 34 (too tight) and a 36 (a little too loose) so if they ever do stock the 35's they'll be perfect. For now the 36's do the job with a belt."

— Steve H. (5/5)

Great shorts for the price,

"Great shorts for the price, they are in no way designed for water. They are comfortable, a good fit, and the pockets work well. The seem very durable."

— Paul B. (5/5)

Very Comfortable Duty Shorts! Very

"Very Comfortable Duty Shorts! Very comfortable shorts with soft material and lots of functional pockets for everyday carry. The 11" inseam provides perfect coverage. Excellent purchase from LAPG—fast shipping and great value!"

— ROWLAND B. (5/5)

"I love the material that they are made of they have great maneuverability when i wear them at work and nice deep zip side pockets"

— Dan (5/5)

Great shorts for the $.

"Great shorts for the $. Useful pockets. Cellphone fits. Not as stretchy as I would like, but overall comfortable."

— Joseph V. (4/5)

Q&A

Can you please let me know when you have size 42 waist ,black,I see your out of stock
Can do. You are set up to be notified.
If I usually wear a waist size 40 in relaxed fit what size should I get in these?
40 or 42 are good options. Depends if you are in between sizes and/or the material make up of the relaxed fit you currently wear.
What is the purpose of the cloth on the inside of the leg at the bottom (besides catching your toes when you try to put them on)?
Great question. The First Tactical team may be able to give you a bit more insight into their design choice on that.
I asked this about a week ago with no response, so I’ll ask it again…. What is the inseam length?
9"

Should I size down in these shorts
Great question. We don't have enough feedback on these shorts to answer that, apologies. Would suggest choosing your typical size.
Are you expecting more inventory of these in size 33?
These are linked to the vendors inventory, so when they get some in it will show back in stock on our site. Not quite sure when they will get more in.
