Heavy, restrictive clothing can severely hinder mobility during hot weather or activities near water. Standard shorts often retain moisture and create uncomfortable friction under a backpack or gun belt.

The Magpul Bonnell Short solves these issues with a purpose-built, ultra-lightweight design. Constructed from a 165 g/m2 four-way stretch nylon blend, these shorts dry quickly and feature an antimicrobial treatment to prevent odor buildup. The engineered crotch gusset and seamed back eliminate unnecessary bulk around the waist, allowing you to move freely whether you are hiking, working on the range, or navigating water crossings.

Key Features

• 4-Way Stretch Fabric: The 165 g/m2 material provides extreme freedom of movement without weighing you down.
• Antimicrobial & Quick-Drying: Treated to prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping you fresh during extended outdoor exposure and water activities.
• Low-Bulk Waistline: A seamed back replaces the traditional bulky waistband, preventing chafing when wearing heavy packs or duty belts.
• Belt Compatibility: Features 5 extra-large belt loops designed to accommodate robust EDC and tactical belts.
• 6-Pocket Layout: Includes reinforced hand pockets, two zippered back welt pockets to keep dirt out, a hidden envelope pocket, and a zippered hip pocket for secure gear retention.
