Prices accurate at time of writing

These shorts use super lightweight nylon to keep them breathable, and just enough spandex to let them move with your body. Both hand pockets and the fly are zippered.

Take your pick from black or sandman tan, and a 5- or 7-inch inseam.

What’s new – aside from the more breathable fabric – is the dual-function waistband with four different ways to carry a firearm.

  • IWB belt / IWB holster: This is the most covert way to wear these shorts. Attach Arrowhead Tactical’s OmniCarry belt with the interior loops, clip your IWB holster to it, and keep the whole setup tucked out of sight.
  • OWB belt / IWB holster: If you’d rather use your normal gun belt, feed it through the exterior belt loops. This way, you can wear your IWB holster like you would with any other pants or shorts. For this approach, Arrowhead Tactical made it possible to tuck the drawstrings out of the way.
  • OWB belt / OWB holster: Of course, you can rock an OWB holster, too. If you’re training at the range and don’t mind having your pistol exposed, this is a great way to keep unnecessary sweat out of your holster.
  • Duty belt / duty holster: Last but not least, the 1.5-inch exterior belt loops are large enough to accommodate many battle belts. Go ahead and rock all your favorite high-speed gear!

Arrowhead Tactical lists an MSRP of $69.99 for the Hybrid Training Shorts.

  • Why do you keep advertising overpriced junk from CHINA?

    No thank you. The CCP is not our friend.

  • I can buy three pairs of Wrangler trade cut shorts for that money, and most of us know that. They are commonly seen this time of year and for the most part in daily wear anyway. The important issue is to get them in the right waist size so they don't droop under a belly too much - anyone over 40 understands they aren't ABSolutely perfect anymore - and having the crotch down near your knees inhibits mobility. The use of stretch fabric also comes into play, as a stiff cotton drill restricts leg motion. Proper fit is more important than looks - if you can't bend and reach or are constantly pulling them up to get that low hanging diaper restriction mode into tactical mode, they should be relegated to self propelled lawnmower wear. This goes especially to the over the knee "contractor" length where the long legs make it even worse.

    Pic of user in the above shows what it takes for good fit - which is the priority first - then fabric and cut. If it takes wearing suspenders to keep them up with a looser gun belt over that gut, so be it - do the rightful thing, instead of ratcheting that clever buckle even tighter right over your hip joint. That eventually turns into a nerve issue which limits mobility - avoid it. One hint they will work is a gusseted crotch - it flexes better and will generally ride higher producing more mobility IF the waist band is hiked up where it belongs, not like certain fashionistas who barely keep the waistband above their kneecaps.

    Im right in the middle of hand digging postholes discovering that some of the cheap shorts I bought from different sources should be thrown on a burn pile - while surprisingly, others are working their way to the first choice for repeated wear (they are getting dirty regardless - just wash them weekly.) Goes to the bend and reach - if you can't get results, no matter the price, they aren't worth it.
