If you are a fan of the Taclite Pro pants, you should
definitely give these a try-- you will not be disappointed. The 50% higher cost
compared to the Taclite Pro is easily justified making them both a great value
for their price.
These are hands-down 5.11's most comfortable pants. The
fabric has a horizontal stretch as claimed, but without the look of being
"stretchy" -- that is to say, it does not have the lycra/spandex
sheen that "stretchy" pants have. The rip stop pattern is as obvious
as ever, and the pants just look sharp.
Thankfully, the gap between belt loops is sufficient for
both a holster and a badge (if needed).
I LOVE the side cargo pockets and that are not overly large
like on the regular 5.11 tactical pants. The angle of the opening is perfect,
and the two pouches inside are very useful for organizing my gear. On the left
side I keep a flashlight on the forward pocket, and a spare pistol magazine in
the rear pocket.
The rear pockets are quite nice, if not just a touch too
short. Now I am nitpicking, but wearing the regular 5.11 tactical pants every
day has spoiled me as far as depth goes. There is no way a full-size radio will
fit back there on these pants.
Overall, I am very pleased with these pants. The fabric is
plain awesome, and the design and layout is thoughtful. 5.11 have a winner with
these pants. I hope they decide to introduce the standard 5.11 collection of
color.
My Rating 1 out of 5: 5+
MSRP: $74.99
