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

When I put them on the first thing I noticed is there is plenty of room in the grotch area. This is due to the gussetted component of these pants. At 6-00, 210#, I purchased 36 waist; 30 inseam for a snug but wearable fit. A 38 waist would have been too loose. My point is there is no cheating on waist sizing. 511's sizing is accurate and spot on. If you wear a 36 waist, then get a 36; if you don't, then order a 38 or lose a few pounds. Inseam @ 30" was perfect. The snap closure is solid, eliminating buttons that become loose, requiring needle & thread. I believe these trousers will work for my gig as a security guard for carrying: pocket knife, cuffs, nitrile gloves, small note book & cell phone. We don't use duty belts so cuffs go into pockets.Update after 2 days of work, 060123: the stretch feature might give you an half inch. Yeah, they work. Warning: do not think the stretch feature will allow you to cheat on your waist size. It doesn't. Sizing is very accurate. 36" means 36" waist. Trousers are gussetted, which means lots of room in and around the groin area. These trousers are durable and well constructed. My 1.75" belt fits perfectly within the belt loops (7 loops). Going to purchase several pairs. Highly recommend.

It has been a few years since I've worn this brand; I've tried some cheaper brands. These went on sale and I figured I'd give them another try. I really like the way these fit. They are sized appropriately. Love the extra room in the crotch. The elastic waistband is great. The weight of these pants are ideal from 20-70 degrees. They don't fade. I wish the shorts were cheaper... I'm going to buy a bunch when those go on sale.

Fits well, comfortable, stain resistant, and have sufficient pockets to carry what I need in a tactical environment or while hunting/fishing.

...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 was hoping to surprise my husband but, he was able to see what I bought. It’s not like you advertise that so I didn’t know I had to specify. Thanks for spoiling the surprise.

I have several pairs of 511s, and I really like all the pockets and the fact the back pockets don't have velcro flaps. I have a pair from another brand that have flaps on the back, and they crinkle up from rubbing against the chair you sit on..One thing I would like different would be if the legs weren't quite so baggy. I like relaxed fit, but not the legs flopping around.

I bought these pants because I worked in security and walk a lot (12,000-16,000 steps a shift). The construction and durability of the pants is very good but they are not very breathable which results in my legs sweating. They do have “some” stretch on the waistband, but nowhere else. I love the pants, but wish they stretched in the crotch area. I wear a size 42 and ordered a size 42.

Satisfied with product and service.

La pêche

Muito bom material

Brought for work extremely good piece of kit, ripstop material that has a teflon water resistant coating, parts of the waist are elasticated and lots of useful pockets (especially if you work in factory's/warehouses and those kind of jobs) they're also very good fitting and quite cool, probably would be good for a hike in them too.

少しお高いかな？

これの前はウールリッチという同じタクティカル系のパンツだったのですが安定して手に入りそうって事で511に切り替える事にしましたチノパンだと収容力がないし普通のカーゴパンツだとつまらないタクティカルパンツならおっさんでも違和感ないかなと思い普段はこの手の穿いてますサイズは32W30Lで身長169のちょい太目の日本人体形の自分で丁度いいです足周りは結構余裕がありますしウエスト左右が少し伸びますにしてはシルエットがシュッて見えるのがいい！普段ウエスト32だがちょっと太って大丈夫かな？って人でもいけると思いますｗ足の長い人やしゃがんだり座ったりで捲れて踝付近が出るのは嫌な人は32Ｌの方がいいかも収納は左右（右の前にペンなどが入る収納と左前にハンドガン用マガジン1本入るベルクロ止め蓋つき収納）に後ろも左右（斜め口のベルクロ止めで深め）膝横左右にベルクロ止め蓋つき収納・右前ベルト通しにリング腰横から右後ろポケット端まで1インチのベルトが通ってます前後左右のポケットは結構深めなのでしゃがんだりしても中身が落ちにくいです防水加工がしてあるので水弾きはほんといいですこの手のは生地が丈夫（膝はもう1枚補強が入ってるし）なので結構いい値段ですがコスパは最高だと思いますポケット隅の縫い目とかにも補強が入っていて耐久性高いんですよこれ前を止めるのはタックボタンではなくパチンと留めるタイプなのでウエスト太目な方が穿いてジーンズの様に切れ目がびろーんなる事がないです自分はこれを穿いてウエストがパツパツなんですがｗしっかり留まってくれてますそれに殆ど他の人と被らないってのがまたいいですねこのオリーブとコヨーテにカーキを揃えておけば上との色合わせもし易いですよ縫製もしっかりしてるしメーカーの回し者かｗな文句なしの☆5ですあ　カラーオリーブは商品写真よりオリーブですので注意（タミヤカラーでいうとオリーブドラブｗ）追伸　このカラーオリーブは生地が汗を通しにくいです暑い時期に汗をかく事をするとポケットの中身が自分の汗でびちゃびちゃになりますので夏向きではありません
