Best Tactical Cargo Pants

[LSP972]

Thanks for the tip. I just went to that site and bought 3 pair to try. Under $23.00 per pair. At that price, even if they are only half as good and comfortable as they appear to be, I will dance with joy at the screamin' deal I got and will return to by every color offered.

We just got an LAPG catalog at the lab, and one of my colleagues was saying we should all try a pair of those. I told them to go ahead… if any of my old comrades found out I was wearing a pair of pants called "urban ops recon"… I would be instant toast.

OTOH, I could probably get away with "summerweight tactical"… and those look rather promising. May give them a try.

For what I do and in light of the things that I don't do: http://www.patagonia.com/us/product/...ular?p=56790-1

I don't wear cargo pants very regularly, and mostly do to support or partake in training activities; they mostly deal with some of the associated peculiarities, and keep my nominal work clothing form getting trashed.

The Pata brand Borderless pants have stretch panels very akin to the mid-GWOT and after Crye pants; but are otherwise relatively streamlined in feature-set and presentation. I appreciate the reduced resistance when hitting their full range of motion, and the reduction in stress upon certain places; I'd rather not blow out a crotch in the middle of a grapple session, as has happened at previous employment.

They don't have aft besom or welt pockets as most male pants do; but for what I wear them for, it's preferable to not have anything carried there. Administrative tasks and moving to\from such a venue have the personal materials carried in the cargo pockets.

They're very much pants that you can PT in, if that's your thing.

no 5.11 apex? n00b.

I'm holding out until they're available on Promotive or GovX. I refuse to pay full price for 5.11.

Have you tried TAD legionnaires? Good middle spot between the coverts and the full blown Force 10s.

The Force 10s have a relaxed fit, which I prefer to TAD's standard fit.

Without reading the whole thread ..... are you guys wearing "tactical" cargo pants for LEO/MIL work of some sort or just for everyday pants?

In another thread about getting caught up in the tactical aspect of training, etc. I alluded to the fact I got caught up in all that jazz a few years ago but have thankfully retired every pair of cargo pants I have to yard work duty. Now, I do have a couple of pair of hiking pants that are sort of like cargo pants except the pockets don't bang the sides of my knees. The side pockets are actually on the side of my thighs (an actual practical location) and the bottom of the legs zip off to make shorts. I wear these for hiking or sometimes when travelling. Otherwise, I have abandoned all cargos - pants and shorts. Outside of actual tactical use I feel they are very passe.
