Great shorts, maybe the price isn't low, but I have the long version and I am so satisfied with them that I invested in the short ones, and it was another good purchase.
Texar Elite Pro Rip-Stop Shorts - Black
Tactical shorts in black, featuring a shorter cut inspired by the Elite Pro fit. Equipped with numerous pockets and an efficient design, these shorts offer reliable functionality for urban settings and remain dependable for outdoor use. A perfect balance between military-inspired and civilian aesthetics.
PolyCotton fabric reinforced with Rip-Stop, waterproofing
Constructed from premium PolyCotton Rip-Stop fabric with a weight of 225 g/m2 and spandex (composition: 60% cotton, 36% polyester, 4% spandex), the shorts provide exceptional resistance to abrasion and tearing while remaining lighter and quicker drying than fabrics made entirely from cotton. The material features an additional Teflon coating, which endows it with greater protection against dirt, permanent staining, and enhanced water resistance.
11 practical pockets
The Elite Pro variant is equipped with 11 generously sized pockets:
- two traditional hip-level pockets reinforced at the edges
- six thigh compartments: two cargo pockets secured with Velcro flaps, two slim zippered pockets, and two open thigh pockets
- two rear pockets featuring Velcro closures
- one internal pocket positioned at groin level
wide belt loops, adjustable waist, loops
A wide Velcro fastener (8 cm) replaces the traditional button, enabling waist adjustment for a personalized fit. The waistband is equipped with a sewn-in elastic band to further enhance the adaptation of the shorts to various body types. Two front loops at the lower edge include additional loops designed for attaching gear such as a carabiner.
YKK zippers
All zippers integrated into the Elite Pro model are sourced from the prestigious Japanese brand YKK.

Very comfortable and functional, the material is of good quality, the elastic bands at the waist make it very easy to fit to the figure. I have several pairs in different colors and I am very satisfied. I recommend.

Very good shorts, nice pattern, lots of pockets, strong ripstop material guarantees long use. Super comfortable and practical. For this price, it's a revelation for me.

I decided to write a review after 3 seasons of solid use. First, the pros: The shorts fit really well, cut in a slim style but give excellent freedom of movement and nothing pulls or rips anywhere. Compared to them, Helikon UTS are like bags, really. I would say these are the nicest shorts in my collection. The price is attractive. XL fits perfectly for 184cm/100kg. Cons: unfortunately, compared to Helikon, the quality of workmanship is much lower. It's not just about the ever-present hanging threads, but about unfinished, crooked seams. The grommets for the carabiners tore off right away, pockets needed restitching because they ripped, etc. Of course, after fixing these flaws, the shorts turned out to be indestructible. The material seems to be of lower quality than Helikon but similarly strong and doesn't get dirty easily. The second downside is the absurd cargo pockets (the external ones), nothing fits in them. The manufacturer really wanted to do something different and I think it backfired. Despite the excellent cut, besides wz10, these are the only Texar pants in my collection. It's worth paying a bit more for the UTS.

I bought Texar Elite Pro RipStop Coyote shorts. Overall, I am satisfied with the shorts, according to my subjective opinion 7 out of 10 points. I like the Texar brand. They use high-quality materials and always have high-quality tailoring. But unlike Helikon products, there are Texar products from which you expect more than you get. These shorts are no exception: 1) when you sit down, the back sticks out, you can see the underwear. 2) The zippers on the front pockets serve a more decorative function. They are small; I never understood what you can put in them. Everything else in these shorts is top-level.

Strange sizing. My waist is 99 cm and I ordered size XL, which was much too large, so I exchanged for size L and they are a bit tight on the thighs. They seem durable. Minus for inaccurate sizing.
-
Well made and a nice cut. The waist runs a size smaller compared to Helikon.
-
Good purchase, I recommend!
-
Sturdy, reinforced pants made of durable material. Lots of practical pockets. One note about those zippered pockets, they could be bigger.
-
Comfortable cut, spacious yet not too large pockets.
-
Great material, fits perfectly size M. I recommend.
-
Good quality shorts. However, I recommend carefully checking the size you are buying (in cm), because their long-legged equivalent in the same size (S/M/L/XL) has a different width.
-
Highly recommend, practical and comfortable, pleasant to use, maybe just expand the color range and it will be perfect.
-
Very comfortable and functional.

I returned the shorts because the stitching on the inside of the waistband was irritating to the skin. When it comes to shorts, only Helikon. After this unsuccessful purchase, I have two pairs :)
