5.0 out of 5 stars Hands down, the most AMAZING pair of pants I have EVER owned!
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2018
I could not wait to sit down and write this review.

Let me first tell you a bit about myself: I am very familiar with tactical pants. For years, I have been wearing BDU pants from Propper. They have become a necessity in my warehouse workplace environment where I am constantly bending my body in different positions as well as working around moving equipment as well as changing outdoor environments. In short, my needs in BDU wear are to provide me with comfort and flexibility.

Propper pants are great, no doubt. The several pairs I have owned have lasted me for 5 years and they are still going strong, but just beginning to fray at integral seams. I thought it was high time that I buy 5 new pairs of BDU type pants to last me an entire work week.

I began looking at Propper pants on Amazon. However, my eyes caught reviews for 5.11 pants. They were consistently much higher than Propper pants. As I began pouring through reviews on the 5.11 brand, I began seeing statements that the STRYKE pants were much more favorable than the standard PRO pants.

Here's the initial issue I faced. These pants cost nearly $75 a pair. That's insane! I am used to buying tactical/BDU pants at about $35 a pair. As I continued reading more reviews from those who bought the Tactical Stryke pants, I realized that perhaps spending $75 might not be a bad idea. I went ahead and blindly bought 5 pairs of these pants in various colors. I figured if I did not like them, I could return them to Amazon.

Upon arrival, I slipped on my first pair of 32/30 pants. I was floored! These are tactical pants?! They seemed like dress pants. The material was so soft. The appearance was slim and refined (rather than baggy), and it even had hints of pinstripes in the fabric. I mean, I could put on a nice shirt and go out to dinner in these pants.

I was just dumbfounded by the fact that these were actually tactical pants. Yet, I could tell that this was indeed ripstop fabric. It had pockets all over the place. It was flexible and roomy enough that as I bent down, I never felt a bit of tightness in the fabric. Yet, the pants hug my body. They look absolutely amazing on me.

Here's one more thing....

I am a short guy. I wear a 29-inch inseam. Anyone with my inseam knows that no pants come tailored for us. I figured I would have to have these pants tailored, which would have been quite expensive given the fact I bought five. I was very happy to find that the length came in a little short so that I was able to just get by with the 30-inch inseam. This is something that several Amazon reviews do point out.

Having just washed these pants for the first time, I was quite pleased that they held their form after a toss in the dryer. These do quick-dry and I would not recommend drying them for more than 30 minutes in the dryer.

Folks, I am here to tell you that these are the most amazing pair of pants I have ever owned. I can wear them to the warehouse. I can wear them out to dinner. How many pants can you think of that can serve you for heavy work and relaxing dining? I suppose pants that cost $75 a pair can.

Definitely worth the price. I will never buy another brand again. I am sold on 5.11!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Pair of Pants When I Need to Get Stuff Done and Want to Stay Comfortable
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2016
Excellent, durable pants that feel great to wear and have a lot of convenient pockets.

When I first put these on I immediately bought another pair. The stretch fabric feels rugged but also very comfortable. All details are top quality, from the belt loops to the double button fastener on the waist.

Pros:
- The two standard pants pockets are shaped well. Makes it easy to get into even when wearing light gloves. The shape is perfect for holding a clip pocket knife.
- Stretch material is durable but flexes when I need to move around and not be constrained. You can kneel, squat, etc with ease.
- Durable. Extra knee fabric. All sewing looks double or triple tough at the joints.
- Many other very useful pockets. Two "pleat" magazine-sized pockets on the front are also convenient for my phone or anything else I don't want moving around. Was pleasantly surprised that the cargo pockets also have two sleeves inside for magazines. You can use the cargo for misc gear, magazines, or both.
- Length. I am tall, so great to find 36x36in size.
- Color: I ordered the green pair here, but I also own a khaki color. The khaki looks really good in just about any type of clothes. The green is of course a bit more work appropriate.
- Belt loops. substantial and secure. Big enough for a 1.5in web BDU belt.
- Extra knee material is not annoyingly apparent.
- Plenty of room for thighs to feel comfortable without being baggy. Crotch isn't long and allows you to wear them high enough to keep good mobility. Superb proportions (for my body, I suppose).
- Two ways to (simultaneously) fasten the waist. A button and a snap. Keeps it nice and secure with a backup should one fail.

Cons:
- When you have a knife in your pocket clipped to the corner (where it conveniently wants to be) it makes putting your hand in your pocket for warmth or to grab something uncomfortable. If I need to do that I just move the knife to my back pocket or one of the magazine pockets. The standard pockets are the perfect spot for a knife, so slightly annoying that it comes at the cost of comfort when putting hand in pocket.
- Can be a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for (these are high-quality). I found a khaki pair for about $65 at my local store. I didn't want to spend much more than that so I went with the green color, which is a less appropriate for things like dinner parties (compared to the khaki color).
- I bought two pair, and on one of them the "pleat" magazine pockets are a bit wider (maybe 1/4 - 1/2in). Not a big deal, just means that if I get used to putting certain items in one pair it may not necessarily work in the other.

Other Misc facts and thoughts:
- Velcro on cargo pockets and back pockets. works well.
- Flaps on back pockets.
- The cargo pockets aren't huge, which I like. Means that if you have a few small items they won't bounce around too much. The are located well above the knee which makes them easier to move when loaded. Just big enough to fit an Amazon Kindle (keyboard) and shut the velcro without deforming the shape.
- Fits over hiking boots/big shoes well.
- Many pockets useful for airline travel so I can keep each document or gadget, etc

What I don't know or haven't tested:
- Fire resistance
- Haven't put them through rough wear (yet)
- How well the rip-stop (haven't had a rip yet)
- How well they wash

Overall:
My favorite pair of pants when I need to get stuff done. Brings together so many factors of a good pair of useful, comfortable pants.
