5.11 Academy Shorts

Any of you guys buy the Academy shorts in the group buy? How do you like them?

Mine are great! The length is about mid way between my crotch and my knee. Very comfortable and durable.

Especially comfortable in hot hot weather b/c when you sweat they don't sag.

I am not sure what the Difference between the Academy shorts and te Bluewater shorts is, But I know that mine are shorter than the Tactical shorts and they are quite comfortable.

Especialy in the Summer, Driving along in the jeep with no doors, just hang your leg out and you have instant cool air induction

Just have to hope you don't catch any wasps

I like them a lot. Of course, I'm a college boy.

They are just like the other shorts, but they are shorter with fewer pockets. Good for hot weather.
