So five stars should tell you what I'll be discussing but I'm also comparing these to my now 5 year champion TruSpec pants. Yes I've been purchasing ONLY TruSpec pants for 5 years now. I still have the first pair I purchased (A little worn but still wearable). I'll be discussing the differences and similarities. Compared similarities first. -Material Same stuff. Poly/cotton blend. Feels the same. Looks the same and has the same teflon coating. -Stitching Same again. Double stitching in most places. Hems and seams are all similar and of the same quality. -Fit I ordered the same size I've worn for five years in the TruSpecs and they fit great. I'm a tree climber and these provide plenty of mobility and coverage. -Durability Since I've only worn them a few days I can't put a five year stamp on them. I feel confident they will stand up just fine. Differences -Color Grey! That's the main reason I gave these a shot. Grey is a favored color of mine and I couldn't resist. -Pocket flaps The cargo pockets on the knees and the clip/cell pocket have a cover. The butt pockets don't have flaps though. I haven't given them a good test. I am usually digging wood chips out of most pockets without flaps but I'm hoping the way these are cut will prove to be defensive against those pesky chips. -Waste band There are more belt loops. The TruSpecs have a very unique waste band though. It has a hidden elastic band. At first glance you wouldn't notice but it adds a lot of weight and under a belt can be a little painful after a long day. These are lighter and more comfy. I'm not a fan of the scrunchy stuff though. -Pocket Config The TruSpecs also have unique pockets. Well, pockets in pockets. I don't use most of them so they are just added weight for me. I really like the cellphone/clip pocket, it's great! No more fishing for the phone. The butt pockets are a little tougher to get used to. Maybe just a learning curve. I'll report back on an Update. I do like the cargo pockets being lower. They don't get in the way of my climbing harness. -Gusseted Crotch Hmmm.... I've never blown out a crotch on the TruSpecs. Never seen a need for a heavier seam. It may take some getting used to. There is a noticeable bit of extra material between the legs but it should soften after a few washes. Summary Over all I really like these pants so far after two days of wear. Still not sure about the tool strap on the back pocket. May prove to be useful. It doesn't seem to get in the way of the wallet pocket like I thought. Without all the extra waste band material and the extra "Pocket pockets" which I think account for the weight difference, these 5.11s are the ultra light cousins of my TruSpecs. will be ordering a few more pair and wear these out in the field for some real testing and report back with what I hope is some positive findings.

My current pair has lasted 4 whole seasons of rough mountain field work, and I'm still wearing them for the 5th! I am buying a new pair right now as I write this, 'cause they are showing some wear at this point, of course. Some stitched seams are failing, but not to the point of structural failure. The fact that I will still be able to wear these for a 5th season in the harsh off-trail mountain work that I do is a testament to their durability. I will never feel the need to buy any other pants than these, they are that great. The loose fit is exactly what I need for full movement without feeling uncomfortable or restrained. The amount and variety of pockets make these pants exceptional: I have specific pockets best suited for each item: multitool, phone, wallet, edc flashlight, sd cards, batteries, etc, etc. I will be wearing these until my knees give out. And even then, will probably still be wearing them.

They actually fit, even after being washed, and in this day and age that's something in of itself. These pants don't seem to shrink in the wash, so I highly recommend ordering your actual size. They're durable and comfortable, however design wise there are a few areas that are funky at best and downright annoying at worst. 1. Elastic Waistband - These aren't exactly clubbing attire, so I'm assuming most men purchase them for performing physical activities. I also assume that 9/10 owners wear the rip-stop belt to keep them snug. Physical activities lead to sweat, and elastic waistbands and sweat do not mix. Within 30 minutes on a hot day the waistband will start chafing against your skin. Obviously physical activities vary, but after a long day of riding my motorcycle in the Texas heat these pants rubbed me so raw that I actually had to wear sweat pants to work for several days. A minor gripe for some, but a design flaw all the same. We're not obese, and we're not a 7 year old living in the 80s, so get rid of the elastic waistband. Use the simple strap adjustments like the military grade trousers use. 2. The primary fastener is a press stud (snaps). Yes you read that correctly, aput on. Note to designers- That snaps don't belong on adult trousers. snap, just like we had on our pants as kids back in the 80s. I don't think this design flaw needs much of an explanation. On the plus side they do have a standard button fastener directly below the snap, which is great, but leaves the wearer scratching their head every time these trousers are 3. Depth of back pockets - Now this one is a bit subjective. I typically keep my wallet in my back pocket. I say typically, because I can't in these pants. The rear pockets are so deep and wide that my wallet actually sits below my butt and shifts around. Not hard to feel a wallet turned sideways below your butt. And when driving in the truck it felt like I was sitting on something. I constantly had to adjust my position to keep it from pressing on the back of my leg. Eventually I just started carrying it in the side pocket. Bear in mind that this is again only a minor gripe, and a subjective one at that. For some the extra large pockets may be ideal for holding tools, ammo, a package of Twinkies, etc.. Conclusion- I'm very picky when it comes to recommending a product. Certainly not something that I just hand out whenever something makes me happy. With said, I do recommend these pants. As I mentioned earlier, in this day and age a pair pants that actually fits, feels comfortable, and can stand the test of time, are certainly worth $60 in my opinion. I will be purchasing more of these (in my actual size this time).

Outstanding pants! I love them and wear them almost all the time. They have enough pockets to organize my EDC and the expanding waistband has enough give to make them really comfortable. They last forever. I highly recommend.

Man, I love, love, LOVE these pants for work. Durable, tons of pockets to hold the gear I need quick access to for work, and the interior pocket to hold knee padding is a lifesaver. These pants tend to last me a couple of years of heavy use/abuse before they start to look like replacing is necessary. The quick dry fabric is really nice - I don't mind getting wet at work as much as I did before since I know the pants dry much faster than denim or corduroy. Good bang for the buck, I think these pants are worth the extra $

I grew up wearing jeans. I like the feeling of "rugged and durable, but comfortable at the same time". I don't like wearing sweats or softer material pants because my legs feel... unprotected? That may sound crazy, but I've gotten so used to feeling something substantial on my legs and it gives a sense of security (yes, possibly false security and it's purely psychological). Jeans, however, can be heavy and restrictive. I always look for "relaxed fit" or "loose fit", and that seems to help. Over the past few years I've discovered that products designed for military and law enforcement use tend to be high quality and work very well for their intended purpose. I'm not in the military or a cop, and I'm sure those who ARE might laugh at what I just said, because they probably use some gear that was poorly designed or has other issues. My experience with tactical clothing and gear for civilian use has been very positive. So I thought I'd give these pants a try as a stubstitute for the carpenter jeans I normally wear for everything that isn't work or church. Town, hiking, around the house, etc. I couldn't be more pleased! These pants fit perfectly when I ordered my normal jean size. They are very comfortable and more flexible than jeans. I really like they way they feel. I don't think they are baggy, but I do prefer looser fitting pants. Because they are 60% polyester 40% cotton, they don't breath quite as well as 100% cotton, but this blend also makes them more durable and resistant to spills. I got caught in the rain wearing them, and when I got inside, I literally slapped the water off them leaving them mostly dry. They aren't waterproof if you really get soaked, obviously. I ordered a pair of Blackhawk Lightweight Tactical pants at the same time for comparison. The Blackhawk feel heavier and have more pockets. I probably prefer the 5.11 because of the lighter, more comfortable feel and more colors available. I like "charcoal" and "coyote brown" better than regular "khaki tan". Both are great pants and I put them right back on as soon as I wash them. One thing to note, the 5.11 Taclite Pro have an gathered material, elastic waistband, while the Blackhawk Lightweight Tactical have a smooth, expanding waistband (internal elastic bands and sliding tabs, instead of gathered material) which might be more comfortable, but again, heavier feeling. So bottom line, I use them for a wide range activities from shopping to weekend hiking and photography. They are handy for just about any activity. Are they worth paying a little more than jeans? In my opinion, definitely!

I purchased two pairs of these pants for my hubby as he kept ripping holes in his work pants (torn belt loops from key chain hanging, torn knees, worn out button/zipper, holes in pockets-you name it-he did it), and I got tired of patching/re-patching. I love my husband, but, yeah, we had issues those days.. :D I am not typically comfortable with spending 50.00 on ANY pair of pants, much less ones I'm fully expecting to have to replace in a few months because..well, it's my hubby.. BUT (and this is MAJOR)-the original 2 pairs of pants are going on a YEAR of constant wear and tear (he stopped wearing ALL his other pants (including jeans which are not work pants) because they are comfortable, they have the pockets he wants and likes, the woven strip of material keeps his keys attached, but movable so they just slide right out of the way when driving (he used to take them off and on every time he sat down), he hasn't managed to stain (despite dropping chili and spaghetti on them), and they are comfortable to wear even in summer (during the winter he will wear a pair of thermals underneath). He loves them so much, I bought him another pair for his birthday, when he'd lost weight and they were having problems staying up (he fought his belts to keep being able to wear the pants--it was so funny). Since finding these pants, I have replaced all 15pairs of dress pants that he wore to work with 4 pairs (he won't let me put away the two that are too large now).. I can't recommend these pants enough-they are practical, and practically indestructable.

I originally bought one pair of these pants, then another, and another. Outstanding pants, long lasting, comfortable, practical, and quite durable for real work. 100% recommend.

Super Alltagstauglich.

Size is the Key...Rest all is as expected..!!

普段着としても上々なのでそこは満足しているポイントです。 サバイバルゲーム用としては少しの身動きでも布ずれの音が大きく、特にインドア戦には不向きかと思われます。511の上位モデルとはやはりこういった実用面でクオリティに差があるようです。

Very good as expecte
