5.11Tactical Men's Taclite Pro Lightweight Performance Pants, Cargo Pockets, Action Waistband, Style 74273

This is my second pair. I’ve literally worn the first pair every single day since February of 2020. I don't know, weird yes. I only wear these and change tee’s daily. I am newly retired due to Covid and decided t simplify my life. My wife makes me wash them at least twice a month.So, I love them. I bought the second pair as a spare. Plus I can wear them on laundry day.

These pants are true to size and very comfortable. The pockets are perfect for those who have to carry multiple things (knife, flashlight, wallet, keys, phone, etc) and the waistline is sturdy enough to hold a full-sized pistol and a combination handcuff/spare magazine pouch on the other side. I used these same pants as a contractor in Iraq and Afghanistan, and now have 6 pairs of these pants in various colors for work in the States. They are superior to all other pants I've tried out.

I bought these pants for my son and he says they are perfect for work wear. He works in construction and he says they are perfect as they are lightweight, breathable, stretchy and durable. They have zippered front, belt loops and several pockets. Good quality for price.

...they would be. At this price, I got a couple of them at the recommendation of a friend. Thus far it appears to be a good deal, I can't attest to the durability or stain resistance my having only worn them twice, but they seem to meet basic standards of the material from which they are made.To the specifics: I have a 36" inseam, and a 36" waist and usually order a 1/2 size larger all around to account for shrinkage and the size differences in patterns from which things are made. Most times I am satisfied even with imported clothes, but I have found vanity sizing is a regular thing in that segment of clothing and after a wash and dry, many items are not even close to the packaged size, so I expected that here. Didn't happen.Pre-wash, I measured the 36x36 waist as 17.25" flat across and relaxed, then 19.25" flat across stretched fully. Post-wash and normal dry (not recommended by manufacturer) the same pair measured 17" even across relaxed, 19"even across stretched fully. The inseam, center of gusset to end of inseam pre-wash measured 36" even. Post-wash and dry the measurement was 35.5". Acceptable for fabric not pre-washed before assembly IMHO, especially for a partial cotton fabric. The seams do pucker and the cuffs do change shape, there are still wrinkles from being packaged that will eventually wash out in my experience with cotton/poly fabric. They do dry relatively wrinkle free assuming they get onto a hanger quickly out of the dryer.The ripstop fabric is about what I would expect, in that it has a faint check due to the slightly heavier thread that theoretically stops the tear, but in severe service I don't see these pants doing well for long. The seat and knees are doubled, thus a little stiffer, and less permeable. That could be a problem in high heat and humidity environments like where I live. The Teflon coating may also be a problem in that environment as the fabric may not allow perspiration to evaporate leading to some degree of stickiness, but I imagine the Teflon will wash out at some point. There is enough cotton in the fabric to provide some comfort, and in my experience cotton/poly blends get more comfortable as they are washed.The pant legs have slits inside the cuff to add elastic cord, not included, the cargo pockets are flat sewn and high enough on the leg to not get out of sync with running nor baggy to cause a snag, and are pleated to expand if necessary. Velcro closures doubled and crossed. The phone pocket is a perfect fit for an iPhone 7 standard, and the left front utility pocket seems made for a Leatherman Core, sheath on. Without the sheath, I see the Leatherman abrading its way out of that pocket. Both utility pockets are set high enough they won't interfere with motion. The carabiner strap above the slash cut rear patch pockets is secure though anything else attached there should be light and have a secure mechanism. If kayaking, you should NEVER have anything attached directly to you that does not float. The doubled knees have an opening for light knee pads.There is more, but suffice it to say for the price I am impressed. I have not taken these pants into the wild yet, but I do kayak, hike and climb (a little) so I'll know more later. For now, in my own experience, these pants are as much a muti-tool as anything you might need out there. They look pretty good too. You won't look like a fashion throwback to the '80's with a rucksack sewn to each leg.Update: I have taken these pants into the field. I spent 10 days in the Never Summer range, camping, hiking, photographing, ATV-ing, fishing , cheating the bears out of wild raspberries and following the footsteps of silver miners gone 100 years ago. These pants are the real deal. I fell down a rockslide picking berries for lunch, I was banged up a little, but the pants were not so much as scuffed. Lesser pants would have torn at both knees and the butt. I stepped too close to the edge of the Michigan River, the bank crumbled and I went in knees-first. No damage, my knife still clipped into slash pocket, and aside from the sandy mud and weeds, an hour later I was warm and dry. I am about to order 2 more pair.

I'm giving it four stars still because they are good pants for work however they are very loose fitting. I ordered an XL (36 x 30) and the pants bunch up a lot under my duty holster. I was chasing someone at work and I had to continually adjust it throughout the day. I would suggest ordering a size smaller than what you normally wear. They are also a very relaxed fit on the legs, maybe it has something to do with my issue, but still worth the buy for anyone else just not for myself.

I no longer look like a shlub in my work pants.

They are quality pants, just like I was looking for.

Love this brand, I'm a 5th degrees martial arts instructor and tactical coach, I needed pants that are reliable and these hit the mark.

Es una prenda que vale mucho la pena, vienen a la talla.

Dommage que la production de ce modèle a été stoppé par le fabricant pour être remplacé par d'autres modèles après + 15 ans de bons et loyaux services !

recomiendo

El pantalón es muy cómodo! Y se ve de lujo! Yo lo uso para trabajar en cocina y es mucho más cómodo que los pantalos "echos" para cocina y aún más resistente!, Son frescos!

Passt und ist auch tatsächlich robuster vom Gewebe her
