5.11 Tactical Men's Active Work Pants, Superior Fit, Double Reinforced, 100% Cotton, Style 74251

I had been eyeing these pants for some time before deciding on them, and glad that I finally ordered them. They have a high thread count (as opposed to xxxxxBay cargo pants) and are heavy duty yet comfortable. The relaxed fit is really relaxed, which I appreciate. The photos were taken after removing the tags, washing them and wearing them for about an hour. The only nitpick I have is that the actual khaki color of these pants is a bit darker than what appears in the product description photos (seen both on my PC monitor and smartphone). I don't think this is in an issue with my device screens not being calibrated properly. I agree with other reviewers that the side pockets aren't big enough to completely conceal a large cell phone but I can live with this. My cell phone sticks out about half an inch from the pocket. I'm really a 36 waist but decided on a 38 waist and am glad I did (again, preferring roominess).

5.11 pants are always my go-to for work pants. They're tough, rugged, extremely comfortable and last for years. I own a few pair and they're my favorite. They also work great for fishing

I have been searching for 100% cotton tactical pants for my husband and found 5.11 Tactical.He is so pleased; they are a relaxed fit and very comfortable.

If you are looking for a heavy and well made tactical pants you will like that one.I am a senior and the weight of the pants did not sit well with me, so I return it and bought a lighter one.

5.11 Tactical Men's Cotton Pant(Purchased: Fire Navy, Black, Khaki,Tundra, Grey, and OD Green)$47-54 w/ Prime Shipping at time of purchasesThese are my favorite heavy duty cargo pants hands down. They are rugged and have generous pockets in all the right locations. The rear pockets are of particular note as they are slanted and deep enough so that it is very difficult to sit on an item stored. To illustrate, I store myNote 4 paired with a "Zero Lemon 10000mAh extended battery" which makes the phone, quite frankly, a brick. It still fits comfortably and completely within the pocket(no part protruding out of the pocket) and I can sit down comfortably. Your mileage may vary but if it can fit this particular phone and battery without incident then you wont have any issue with smaller phones or wallets.The only drawbacks of these are the price(you get what you pay for) and that they do get a little warm since its a thicker cotton canvas. Also they lose the pocket on the front of the right thigh that the "taclite pro" series possesses.As far as modifications go I was considering adding zippers so that they will be convertible into shorts like some hiking pants are and/or zippered or Velcro vents that would make the pants comfortable even in warm weather.BUILDThe sizing on the pants are spot on in my experience. The durability of the pants seem high since they are cotton canvas and even after many wash cycles and heavy wear they only show some minor signs of a few threads of the stitching coming loose(very very minor).COLORSThe colors fading on these pants is more of a concern to me than the pants themselves wearing out as the colors are not very vibrant(personal preference on pro or con). They are almost exactly the colors depicted on the product images.I plan on purchasing the Sage and Coyote Brown to complete the set.

Solid, well constructed work pants. It took several years of rough use to wear out my first couple of pairs. Just reordered, and these are just as stout as the others. In fact, they upgraded the snap to be even more rugged.

I have been wearing 5.11 clothing since 2007 whilst working in Afghanistan, a hot and arid climate in the summer and a sub zero climate in the Kabul mountains during winter until present day whilst working in Kazakhstan in similar temperature and climate differences as well as in Myanmar jungles, Iraq deserts and in the tropical lushness of Guam.Why ….because 5.11 make tough breathable clothing that wears well and doesn't fall apart in extreme conditions .Comfortable clothes ,some stretchy and light, other tough and windproof and warm, pretty much covering the extremes you will face working both at home and overseas.I will continue to buy 5.11 clothing ,in fact I will be ordering the long sleeve polo shirts again soon as they are perfect for a base layer in Kazakhstan winters under the heavy fleece lined coats I wear, a main complaint I hear is that they are expensive...which is a crap argument you are paying for quality and tough clothing not a flimsy fashion item.read the reports on this brand and buy the clothing, you will be impressed and happy....buy the way the trousers (pants) will last you for ever. You will end up throwing them out because they are old and you replaced them with newer ones over that the wore out...either that or you got fat and they no longer fit.Best work trousers on the market without a shadow of doubt. I am a happy return customer who will keep buying this brand.
