M-Tac Sturm Shorts NYCO Extreme
The M-Tac Sturm Shorts NYCO Extreme are designed to deliver maximum functionality, durability, and comfort during hot-weather operations, range training, outdoor activities, and everyday wear.
Constructed from Nyco Extreme® fabric (57% nylon, 43% cotton) by Brookwood (USA), these shorts offer exceptional durability, abrasion resistance, and breathability. Strategic 4-way stretch panels (90% nylon, 10% elastane) enhance mobility and comfort during intense physical activity, while high-wear areas are reinforced for increased longevity.
The shorts feature a thoughtfully designed pocket layout for convenient access to essential gear and EDC items. Two open hand pockets provide quick access to frequently used items. The cargo pockets are divided into two compartments and secured with hook-and-loop flaps, while vertical zippered access allows convenient retrieval of gear even when seated. Rear zippered pockets offer secure storage for small valuables, and additional reinforced utility pockets with Cordura® 500D inserts are designed for attaching a knife or flashlight clip.
Designed for use with belts up to 2.2 in (5.5 cm) wide, the shorts also feature two front D-rings for attaching keys, gloves, or other accessories. Their ergonomic cut ensures unrestricted movement during demanding activities.

"A prudent person foresees danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. - Proverbs 27:12"
US-Milled NYCO Extreme
The same nylon-cotton blend family used in issue uniforms — abrasion resistance without the plastic feel of pure synthetic
Zip Access to the Cargo Pockets
Vertical zips let you get into the cargo pocket while seated, which is where most cargo shorts fail
Cordura 500D Clip Pockets
Reinforced specifically so a knife or light clip does not tear through the fabric
4-Way Stretch Panels
Placed where the shorts bind — squat, climb and kneel without fighting the cut
Belt-Ready to 2.2 in
Takes a real rigger or gun belt, not just a webbing strap
Two Front D-Rings
Keys, gloves or a dummy cord without adding a pouch
The numbers, flat and honest.

Answers, straight up.
Product-specific questions on the left. Shopping with SRO on the right. Both open-ended — hit us if we missed one.
What is NYCO Extreme fabric?
A 57% nylon, 43% cotton blend milled by Brookwood in the USA. The nylon carries the abrasion and tear resistance; the cotton keeps it breathable and stops it feeling like a plastic bag in heat. It is the same family of fabric used in issue uniforms, which is why it turns up on M-Tac's Patrol and Sturm patterns rather than a cheaper all-synthetic ripstop.
How long does shipping take?
Most orders process within 1–3 business days from our warehouse. From there: 5–7 business days economy, 2–3 business days expedited, or overnight if you need it fast. Free economy shipping on orders over $150 (contiguous US). Alaska, Hawaii, and Pro Eagle / freight items are quoted at checkout. You’ll get a tracking number and link the moment your order ships.
What’s your return policy?
30 days from the day your order arrives. Gear has to come back unused, with all original tags, stickers, and packaging intact. For standard items we’ll send a prepaid return label and deduct return shipping from your refund. Oversized or freight returns are on you, unless the item showed up damaged, defective, or wrong — in which case we cover it.
Refunds hit your original payment method within 10 business days of approval.
What can’t I return?
Final-sale items, gift cards, food and drink products, personal-care items, anything customized or engraved, briefs (hygiene), and hazardous materials. If you’re not sure whether something qualifies, email us before you order — we’ll tell you straight.
Do you ship outside the contiguous US?
Yes. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories ship on freight-quoted rates calculated after checkout. International orders are available worldwide at variable rates; duties and import fees are the customer’s responsibility. EU customers get a 14-day cancellation window per EU consumer law, on top of our standard return policy.
My package arrived damaged — what now?
Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com within 7 days of delivery with your order number and clear photos of the damage (product + packaging). We’ll replace, refund, or ship a return label on us — no back-and-forth. Damaged, defective, or wrong-item claims never cost you shipping.
Can I talk to a human before buying?
Yes. Email info@stayreadyoutdoors.com — we answer every message ourselves, usually within a few hours during business days. We carry this gear, we use this gear, and we’d rather talk you out of a kit that doesn’t fit your mission than sell you the wrong one.
Do you offer a military/first-responder discount?
Yes. Active-duty and veteran military, police, fire, EMS, and medical first responders get 10% off every order. Verify through GovX at checkout — one-time, secure, and reusable across thousands of brands. Discount applies automatically once you’re verified.
