The Tactical Short was purpose-built for adventurers and athletes who demand performance under pressure.
Engineered with an abrasion-resistant ripstop shell, an ulta-tough waistband, and secure pocket storage, it balances rugged toughness with everyday wearability. Designed to handle any mission, this short delivers field-tested utility without compromise. Whether you’re training or out in the elements, the Tactical Short stands ready for whatever comes your way.
FIELD-TESTED TOUGHNESS
Our commitment to perfection isn’t just about looks — it runs thread-deep. We scour the earth, searching for the finest premium materials, durable finishes, technical treatments, and advanced construction techniques to build products on an unbreakable foundation of functionality and longevity.
MISSION READY
Designed to thrive in the toughest environments, the Tactical Short delivers uncompromising performance in training, off the grid, and everywhere in between. Built with a rugged shell and reinforced construction, it’s ready for everything from active adventures to gym sessions and daily wear.
POWERED BY RIPSTOP
The Tactical Short’s ripstop nylon shell is engineered to perform across environments — combining water-shedding, fast-drying fibers with abrasion resistance to endure constant wear. The result is a high-performance shell that transitions seamlessly without sacrificing anything.
DIALED-IN LINER
For added stability and next-to-skin support, the Tactical Short is available with a medium-compression liner. Breathable and moisture-wicking, it keeps you cool and dry while reducing chafe during high-output sessions. The liner offers the perfect balance of support and mobility for all-day wear.
EVERY SESSION CARRY™ POCKETS
Built for function without excess bulk, the Tactical Short integrates secure-zip hip pockets and internal sleeves to keep essentials locked down and bounce-free, no matter the pace or conditions.
COMFORT IN MOTION
Engineered for performance on the move, the Tactical Short is spec'd out to offer a distraction-free experience in the field. From the beefed-up waistband that stays locked in to the full gusset and side slits, they'll stay out of your way and keep you focused on your mission.

Built on a shared philosophy of discipline and control, this is a collection with no noise and no excess — just gear that reflects commitment to growth and a refined sense of style.
