When it’s that hot out that your risking dehydration, you seriously need to consider the type of clothing you are wearing.   Those wearing body armor or carrying more gear than the usually CCW gun owner need as many pockets as possible.  Trading your tactical pants in for tactical shorts that have almost the same pocket designs is hard to find.    There is also a very diverse opinion on the inseams of the shorts that people wear and there’s no real in between.

Eotac is now making their tactical shorts in a 7 1/2 inch inseam and a 9 inch.   The fit in the seat is the same as the pants and the hand pockets and back pocket designs are exactly the same.   There are no side cargo pockets, but the face of the shorts have the same useful pockets as all of the Eotac tactical pants.  You can put a 20rd AR15 magazine in this pocket or something like a Kimber Guardian.   The hand pockets have that deep wide design that can fit a large set of keys or firearm.   The lightweight cotton ripstop design will keep you as cool as you can possible be.
