FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What inseam length is best for me for the Ruck Short?

The choice typically depends on height, body type, and comfort level. For most people our 8" inseam will hit just below mid-thigh, while our 10" inseam will hit just above or right at the top of the knee.

What makes this a CCW short?

The Ruck Short is built with function in mind. While the fabric includes tons of stretch, we include belt-loops, which are oriented for CCW carry. This gives you the ability to CCW, even while on the move.

What materials are best for summer shorts?

Fabrics that include micro-climate control are best for summer wear. The Ruck Short includes 37.5® Active Technology, which controls your micro-climate in all the right places to keep you cool and dry, even in the hottest weather.
