5.11 Tactical Women’s Taclite EMS Pants - Regular Fit Ripstop Cargo Work Pants, 19 Pockets, Adjustable Waist, Style 64369ABR

So, if you've never had 5.11 pants, here's a secret: The sizing is neurotic. I have different styles of their women's tac pants in 8 all the way up to 18... and they all fit today. Typically, I have 32" waist and 44" hips and bigger thighs. I'm 5'8" and have a longer inseam. I like my pants to bunch just a little at the ankle, which the long lengths do perfectly. My waist/hips measurements go up and down through the year. In this taclight EMS pants, I have 2 pairs that are 12 long, 1 14 reg (didn't have 12 long), and this 18 long. I need baggy pants for an upcoming event that will have me in harnesses and dangling off stuff. In the past, I've done those in my 12s and found the pinching to be unbearable. I went with the 18 because I tried a 16 at the store and it felt smaller than my 14? This has happened before. I don't know if they vanity size until they have customer base, or if it's a "varies by factory" thing. The 18s are comfortably (not comically) loose all the way around, but still shapely/fit and still compliments my shape. My husband asked if I lost weight. I'll try not to read into that. This style does have hidden elastic in the band. It's excellent for curvey types or folks that want the waist flair. If you have bigger or muscular legs, these could be what you're looking for. As far as durability and use, I wear these for search and rescue. They've held up through briars, barbed wire and hecka bad weather. One pair got hung on a metal shank when I was scaling a fence. The hole was only 2" and I was left hanging cause it wasn't giving. It never frayed or spread through the last 2 years of use. Another time, I went face down and nearly got impaled through the leg (someone cut off tree saplings into 8"spikes... on purpose). The sapling went through the neoprene of my muck boot, through my sock, but hit and slid across the pant leg. That's probably a function of the tight knit or whatever, but if you saw the holes and the horrific blood filled bruise, you'd wanna say the pants saved me too. If you're wearing tac belts, rigger's belts, or gun belts, the waist band is smooth and doesn't have fat hard seams that will bind. What discomfort I had with a rigger was in my thighs from snug fabric and harnesses, which will hopefully be remedied. Pockets are all fine. I like that they don't look all poofy like fatigue pants. One thing that I LOVE about these is that the inner thighs are not fraying, pilling, or wearing. This has been a point of contention (I've had) with some other expensive tac pants that coming in black/navy. I HATE looking down and seeing those little loose threads and discoloration. I *know* no one cares, but I hate it. Also, the color of the black and blue has held up really well. **I do treat all my gear with permethrin which can discolor cheap dyes. Even still, I have to look at labels to tell which pair is the oldest or the newest. Do wash before first wear. They won't stay water repellant. I've scotch guarded a different style and it' worked really well as a cold/wet weather pant.

I bought these pants for my daughter, who is in EMS school, and they have been fantastic! The material is lightweight but durable, making them comfortable for long days of training. The fit is great—not too tight or baggy—and allows for plenty of movement. She especially loves the 19 pockets, which help keep all her essential gear easily accessible. The quality is top-notch, and they still look brand new after multiple washes. Definitely a great investment for anyone going into EMS!

I recommend purchasing from 5.11 site, more sizing options reliably in stock. I bought these pants for EMS work. My only criticism is the sizing/fit. I wear a women's size 6-8 (28-29) and I'm 5'7", and I ended up with a size 14 Long in these pants. I recommend sizing up by at least 2-3, they just run small. I purchased several different sizes and just picked the ones that fit best. The return process was pretty easy and I got completely refunded within a week. I also recommend Long if you're over 5'6". They cover my boots and don't ride up the ankle. Other than the sizing, these pants rock! Durable, comfortable, and there are a zillion pockets and loops that come in handy when carrying extra gear. They're a little snug in the thigh region, which is fine but makes me question the design as far as female body shapes. As for critiques for 5.11, I would echo other customers' reviews regarding sizing/fit. They only go up to certain size, and thus limit options for folks with larger sizes and different shapes. I recommend checking out Reddit for discussions on larger sized EMS pants. Time for women to revolutionize the EMS clothing industry!

I have wide high hips = long legs. I figured with the new job I'd loose a few lbs and ordered a size 8long/tall. What Id normally would wear in stretchy jeans. Standing, pants are perfect. Bending down the waist becomes super tight. Thought with a few days of wearing it would loosen up...? Waist line is high in the back and tapers down just below the belly button in the front. Thighs have enough room but becomes tight when items are added to pockets. But because of my high hips- sitting down still raises the pant leg high above my ankles. Now the croch: wish I had bought the 10/12long because the 8long does cut up in the middle between the thighs standing and more so sitting. Mom bods out there- overall, size up 2xs to ensure that (said above) doesn't happen. Love the reinforced stitching throughout the pant and pockets within pockets. I'd say for everyday use the 5 smaller pockets are somewhat unusable for me.

Legit, well made. Only returned bc I needed a smaller size.

We just ordered wrong size. Now they are out of stock.

I’m a size 10 but I figured I’d size up because 5.11 has a hard time catering to curvier women in the EMS field. But guys there’s no reason for these weird a** pants to make me look so squared from the front and flat from the back. These pants specifically were in no way designed by a woman because I feel like a woman would know. The elasticity of the belt is built really cool looking but it gives you a weird ass muffin top in the front from how tight it is along with how low it fits on you and a super loose awkward flap in the back that is also for some reason more high up than the front? They’re hard to bend in because they give no accountability to a woman’s thighs. Like I can feel the front digging into my stomach and thighs when I sit. And I ordered a size 12. When wearing these pants you’re essentially a lint magnet. Like they look super cool on paper with the 19 pockets or whatever but these are an agony to wear and I have not had this problem with any other company for pants. I like 5.11 but these are THE WORST product they’ve ever pushed out. Because they’re so uncomfortable and unflattering.
