USA Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Looking for recommendations for shorts suitable for the shooting sports that have a 7 inch or less inseam. Bought some Tru-Spec 24/7 shorts to try, but they extend down over my knee caps. No bueno. Thank you. ETA 24/7's have 9" inseam, and I am 5' 6" tall.

tanks Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I use these. https://www.amazon.com/Propper-Mens-Tactical-Short-Khaki/dp/B0047FEUXW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491530139&sr=8-1&keywords=propper%2Bshorts&th=1&psc=1 I don't know how long the inseam is, but they do not extend over my knee caps.

KrymSIX Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I almost wonder if your best bet wouldn't be to head to your local kohls or marshalls or similar store and see what they have for shorts this time of year. The way clothing is sized these days it may be best to try them on first and then go and buy more of what you liked. The marshalls by us has columbia hiking shorts and some others so maybe you would have similar luck? Short of that I'd check some hikers apparel places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 I have 2 pair of 5.11's. One, the Academy Shorts, have a shorter inseam. I like them for hot summer shooting. I can hang a hand towel off the carabiner strap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Make them out of blue jeans, then you can have exactly the length of inseam you desire. Used blue jeans at a garage sale are very economical and paying for having them altered is also pretty inexpensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troupe Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 That is just wrong guys, very funny. Cabelas had hiking shorts in that inseam. I had a few pair, held up very well and were not expensive. Bass Pro also carried them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Sierpina Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I've used Cabela's cargo shorts with a 7" inseam. They've worked very well and are comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingun45 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Wal-Mart. Wrangler 7" inseam hiking shorts. Several styles and colors but no Fusia. $16. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQRibs Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 I recommend these https://www.kohls.com/product/prd-2909260/mens-urban-pipeline-ripstop-cargo-shorts.jsp?color=Oh Khaki&prdPV=7 from Kohls. Good pockets that don't stick out. Hit above the knee (I'm 6'03" ymmv). Stretchy waistband for holding tucked shirts and minimizing your man handles. High quality zipper facilitates quick leaks. Light material and inner mesh are nice during those summer matches when you're sweating your junk off. Dirt and crud wash out better than with cotton drawers.
