Best Tactical Cargo Pants

[blues]

This is a negative review but I used to work in a facility that required all cotton clothing due to fire hazard, we were issued the 5.11 cotton tactical pants. They weren't bad but they didn't hold up.

My job required a lot of walking and maybe altitude and UVs had something to do with it but the cuffs and the crotch wore out in about 3 months.

It wasn't a big deal when my employer was buying them but I'm not dropping 60 bucks on a pair of pants that's going to wear out in 90 days.

I haven't had that problem with their cotton canvas pants (and shorts) I own and mine get a fair amount of use working around the property and at the range. That said, when they do wear out I may explore other options. It's just that I started wearing them when they were the original Royal Robbins version, (the old climbing legend), and got pretty attached to them.

Ummmm, Ummm, Ummmm....

Words escape me....

Oh I know...Is that a tactical stance or is it that he simply can't close his legs?

I think he's multitasking...he's preparing to take a leak and remove the threat at the same time.

Sadly I've been in exactly this person's shoes. A person with too much time and industry reps bringing strange items for us to try... It just calls for a Mad TV photo op.

Generous legs. I've gotten them over a pair of Sorel boots in the dead of winter. I don't have or wear cowboy boots but I would guess there is enough room. They have a gussetted crotch as well.

Thanks I might give them a try next year. I still have two eight year old pair of 5.11 cotton pants that I used at work that are still going strong but are looking a tad bit beat to hell.

I think the altitude played a role because the shirts they issued us (5.11 tactical polo) faded real quick too.

Maybe so. We're only at 2500' here. Good to know though.

I'm at 7000. It really does make a difference

I wear the Riggs Ranger pants, essentially designed for landscapers and such exclusively at work. They are the Riggs pants with cargo pockets. They also have the tactical hammer loop to confuse 'those in the know' into thinking they aren't really tactical.

Just bought two more pairs. Are best pants.

A couple things brought this post on....

One, when I was hunting in Wyoming a couple months ago, one of my fellow hunters had also brought these pants. We both have noticed that when they get a hole in them, the hole just stays there, it doesn't open up.

Two, my Vertx pants bought after I bought my first Riggs pants, are falling apart in certain places.

Vertx are good for the office. Wrangler Riggs last.
