The Rothco Camo BDU Shorts are men's tactical cargo shorts made from a 55% cotton/45% polyester blend, designed for field use, outdoor activities, and everyday wear. Six pockets and adjustable waist tabs provide practical storage and a customizable fit. Available in 15 camo patterns ranging from Woodland to Ultra Violet, in sizes XS through 6XL depending on colorway.
Built for the Field and Beyond
The Rothco Camo BDU Shorts draw on a military BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) pattern and construction originally developed for tactical professionals. The 55% cotton/45% polyester fabric blend balances durability with breathability, holding up through field missions, range sessions, and extended outdoor use without breaking down at stress points. The cotton content keeps the shorts comfortable against skin during long wear, while the polyester component adds resilience and shape retention.
Six Pockets, Zero Compromises on Storage
The Rothco Camo BDU Shorts carry six pockets in total: two large cargo pockets on the thighs, two front slash pockets, and two button-down back pockets. Bulkier items like a multi-tool or radio fit in the cargo pockets, flat items like a wallet or ID sit in the slash pockets, and secured items go in the buttoned rear pockets. The 11-inch inseam keeps the shorts at a working length that doesn't restrict movement.
Adjustable Fit Across a Wide Size Range
Adjustable waist tabs let wearers dial in the fit without a belt, which matters when a duty belt or gear rig is already in use. The standard closure is a button fly; the Midnight Black Camo colorway uses a zipper fly instead. Sizes run from XS to 6XL across the full color range, with the available range varying by colorway: the variant selector shows which sizes are offered in each pattern.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The Rothco Camo BDU Shorts suit men looking for a durable, high-storage tactical short for field work, range days, hiking, hunting, camping, or everyday casual wear. The wide size range (XS–6XL) and adjustable waist tabs make them a practical fit for a broad range of body types. The BDU pattern and construction also work for public safety personnel who want a utility short off-duty.
These shorts are non-ballistic tactical apparel with no armor rating and no protective capability against ballistic or edged threats. They are not women's cut. Not every colorway is available in every size; buyers needing extended sizes should confirm availability in their chosen pattern before ordering.
Common Questions
What fabric are the Rothco Camo BDU Shorts made from?
The Rothco Camo BDU Shorts are constructed from a 55% cotton/45% polyester blend. The cotton content provides breathability and comfort during extended wear, while the polyester adds durability and helps the shorts hold their shape through repeated field use and washing.
How many pockets do these BDU shorts have?
The Rothco Camo BDU Shorts include six pockets: two large cargo pockets on the thighs, two front slash pockets, and two button-down back pockets. That gives enough carry capacity for a multi-tool, phone, wallet, keys, and additional small gear simultaneously.
What is the inseam length on these shorts?
The Rothco Camo BDU Shorts have an 11-inch inseam. The reference fit shows a medium on a wearer who is 6'1.5" with a 32-inch waist and 32-inch inseam. A size chart for BDU Shorts is available from Rothco for detailed measurements.
Do all colorways use a button fly?
Most colorways of the Rothco Camo BDU Shorts use a button fly. The Midnight Black Camo colorway uses a zipper fly instead. All colorways include adjustable waist tabs for a custom fit regardless of which closure style is used.
Are all sizes available in every camo pattern?
No. The Rothco Camo BDU Shorts are available in sizes XS through 6XL overall, but the size range varies by colorway. For example, Woodland Camo runs XS–6XL while Desert Digital Camo runs S–2XL. Use the variant selector to confirm which sizes are offered in your chosen pattern.

The Bulletproof Zone Promise
When you buy body armor, you're buying your safety. We don't take that lightly. Here's what every order from Bulletproof Zone includes.
1. Authorized dealer of every brand we carry
Every plate, vest, and carrier we ship comes from the manufacturer directly to our warehouse. We don't sell gray-market product, surplus, or returns. That means factory-fresh stock, the full manufacturer warranty, and real after-sale support — the kind only an authorized dealer can offer.
We maintain authorized-dealer relationships with America's leading body armor brands, including Spartan Armor Systems, AR500 Armor, RMA Defense, Shellback Tactical, Caliber Armor, DFNDR Armor, Protection Group Denmark, BulletSafe, BulletBlocker, and over 40 more.
2. Best price, guaranteed
If you find a lower price at another authorized dealer of the same product within six months of your purchase, we'll refund the difference.
Why the "authorized dealer" requirement? Because gray-market and surplus armor may not be genuine, may have a compromised supply chain, and almost never comes with a manufacturer warranty. We won't price-match against products that may not actually protect you.
3. Free fitment consultation
Body armor only protects you if it fits. Email us a photo and your measurements before you order, and one of our specialists will help you size your carrier and plates correctly — at no charge, no obligation.
4. Trusted by thousands of customers
Bulletproof Zone has been a trusted authorized dealer of America's leading body armor manufacturers for over five years. We have over 4,000 verified Trustpilot reviews from real customers across all 50 states.

- The item must be in stock on the competitor's website at the time of your request.
- The price match is valid for six months from the date of your purchase.
- The competitor must be an authorized dealer of the product. Auction sites (eBay, Overstock), discounters, and gray-market resellers do not qualify.
- The competitor must operate an online store. Brick-and-mortar-only retailers do not qualify.

To request a price match, email us a link to the product on our site and the same product on the competitor's site within six months of purchase. We'll process the refund.
