Great shorts. They may not be the cheapest, but after the excellent experience with the longer version, I decided to buy the short ones as well and it was definitely worth it.
Texar Elite Pro Rip-Stop Shorts - Olive
Tactical shorts in olive, a shorter version of the Elite Pro model. Thanks to numerous pockets and their thoughtful placement, they are perfect for both urban environments and outdoor activities. They are a successful combination of military-inspired functionality and versatile everyday style.
PolyCotton fabric reinforced with Rip-Stop, waterproofing
The shorts are made of durable PolyCotton Rip-Stop fabric with a grammage of 225 g/m2 with added spandex (60% cotton, 36% polyester, 4% spandex), which is resistant to abrasion and tearing, yet lighter and dries faster than 100% cotton fabrics. In addition, a Teflon coating has been applied to increase resistance to dirt and prevent permanent stains, as well as to reduce moisture penetration.
11 practical pockets
The Elite Pro model is equipped with 11 functional pockets:
- two classic pockets at hip height with reinforced edges
- six on the thighs: two cargo pouches with Velcro closures, two narrow pockets with zips, and two open pockets
- two on the back with Velcro closures
- one inner pocket at groin height
wide belt loops, waist adjustment, loops
Instead of a button, a wide Velcro strip (8 cm) has been used, allowing for precise adjustment of the waist circumference. An elastic band sewn into the inside of the waistband improves the fit. The two front belt loops are equipped with additional loops, ideal for attaching small accessories such as a carabiner.
YKK zips
The Elite Pro model features zips from YKK, a renowned Japanese manufacturer valued for its high quality and reliability.

Very comfortable and practical, made from good quality material, and the elastic bands in the waist make them easy to adjust. I have several pairs in different colours and I am very satisfied. I definitely recommend them.
-
Great shorts with an interesting pattern, they have plenty of pockets and are made from durable ripstop material, which ensures their longevity. Very comfortable and functional, for this price it’s a perfect choice for me.

I've decided to write a review after three seasons of intensive use. Pros: the shorts fit great, have a slim cut, offer complete freedom of movement, nothing pulls or rips. Compared to them, Helikon UTS feel less fitted, and these are the nicest ones in my wardrobe. The price is attractive, XL fits perfectly for 184 cm/100 kg. Cons: the workmanship is worse than Helikon, lots of hanging threads, crooked seams, carabiners broke immediately, I had to sew up the pockets because they ripped, but after these fixes they're indestructible. The material seems worse than Helikon but it's still durable and dirt-resistant. Another downside is the external cargo pockets, which are very small. Despite the great fit, I only have these and WZ10 from Texar – it's better to pay extra for UTS.

I bought Texar Elite Pro RipStop Coyote shorts. Overall I'm satisfied with them, I'd rate them 7/10. I like the Texar brand – they use good materials and sew well, but sometimes their products don't fully meet expectations. With these shorts: 1) when you sit down, the back sticks out and your underwear is visible; 2) the zips at the front pockets are mainly decorative and not very spacious – it's hard to put anything in there. The rest of the shorts' elements are of a very high standard.
-
Unusual sizing – I have a 99 cm waist, the XL I ordered was very loose, and when I exchanged it for L, they turned out to be a bit tight in the thighs. The material seems sturdy, but I have to subtract points for inaccurately marked sizes.
-
They are well made and have an interesting cut. The waistband is one size smaller compared to Helikon.
-
A successful purchase, I wholeheartedly recommend it!
-
Well-made trousers from durable material. They have many functional pockets. One note – the zip pockets could be a bit bigger.
-
Comfortable cut and practical, though not very spacious, pockets.
-
Very good material, size M fits perfectly. Highly recommended.
-
The shorts are well made. However, I recommend checking the actual measurements before purchasing, as the size may differ from the long-legged version of the same model.
-
I highly recommend them, they are comfortable, practical and pleasant to wear. My only wish is for more colour availability.
-
They are very comfortable and practical.

I returned the shorts because the seam on the inside of the waistband irritated me. If I buy shorts, it's only Helikon. After this failed attempt, I already have two pairs from that brand.
