5.11 Men's Stryke Tactical Cargo Pant with Flex-Tac, Style 74369

I bought 5 pair of these about a year ago and they are the most comfortable pants I have. I wear them for work as my job is managing public lands that are wetlands, riparian, and swamp. It's hot. Like the swamp is in my pants hot. Other pants that I've worn I tend to overheat rapidly and these are much cooler and comfortable to work or just lounge around in. I can't speak enough on the comfort. Comfort gets 5 stars and more if there was an option.The cons: color faded within a few months on all five pair. I usually wear a pair for several days before washing. I wash them all together, and use cool water and medium heat which is the lowest setting that will dry the pants. It's really obvious when the rest of my uniform is not faded. I bought these out of my own pocket and not with my uniform allowance that I am granted. It gets expensive buying 4-5 new pair every 6 months. Dyes don't take well either. Color gets 1 star.

I could not wait to sit down and write this review.Let me first tell you a bit about myself: I am very familiar with tactical pants. For years, I have been wearing BDU pants from Propper. They have become a necessity in my warehouse workplace environment where I am constantly bending my body in different positions as well as working around moving equipment as well as changing outdoor environments. In short, my needs in BDU wear are to provide me with comfort and flexibility.Propper pants are great, no doubt. The several pairs I have owned have lasted me for 5 years and they are still going strong, but just beginning to fray at integral seams. I thought it was high time that I buy 5 new pairs of BDU type pants to last me an entire work week.I began looking at Propper pants on Amazon. However, my eyes caught reviews for 5.11 pants. They were consistently much higher than Propper pants. As I began pouring through reviews on the 5.11 brand, I began seeing statements that the STRYKE pants were much more favorable than the standard PRO pants.Here's the initial issue I faced. These pants cost nearly $75 a pair. That's insane! I am used to buying tactical/BDU pants at about $35 a pair. As I continued reading more reviews from those who bought the Tactical Stryke pants, I realized that perhaps spending $75 might not be a bad idea. I went ahead and blindly bought 5 pairs of these pants in various colors. I figured if I did not like them, I could return them to Amazon.Upon arrival, I slipped on my first pair of 32/30 pants. I was floored! These are tactical pants?! They seemed like dress pants. The material was so soft. The appearance was slim and refined (rather than baggy), and it even had hints of pinstripes in the fabric. I mean, I could put on a nice shirt and go out to dinner in these pants.I was just dumbfounded by the fact that these were actually tactical pants. Yet, I could tell that this was indeed ripstop fabric. It had pockets all over the place. It was flexible and roomy enough that as I bent down, I never felt a bit of tightness in the fabric. Yet, the pants hug my body. They look absolutely amazing on me.Here's one more thing....I am a short guy. I wear a 29-inch inseam. Anyone with my inseam knows that no pants come tailored for us. I figured I would have to have these pants tailored, which would have been quite expensive given the fact I bought five. I was very happy to find that the length came in a little short so that I was able to just get by with the 30-inch inseam. This is something that several Amazon reviews do point out.Having just washed these pants for the first time, I was quite pleased that they held their form after a toss in the dryer. These do quick-dry and I would not recommend drying them for more than 30 minutes in the dryer.Folks, I am here to tell you that these are the most amazing pair of pants I have ever owned. I can wear them to the warehouse. I can wear them out to dinner. How many pants can you think of that can serve you for heavy work and relaxing dining? I suppose pants that cost $75 a pair can.Definitely worth the price. I will never buy another brand again. I am sold on 5.11!

This is my second pair of 5.11 Stryke Tactical Pants. The first pair lasted about eight months before the crotch gave out. That seemed a little fast but the pants fit so well I thought I'd give it a another try. The second pair I bought on 6/28/18 and by mid September there was another tear in the crotch. No good.Given the high price of these pants and the short life span - I cannot recommend them.

These pants are amazing. I am a woman who couldn't pull off the more fitted ladies version but also was tired of how men's pants fit. These are a great compromise. I'm a women's pant size 14 and 5'7" and the mens 36/32 fit great and the 34/32 fit on "thinner" day haha. The rise is not the normal long terrible rise men's pants normally have, but also not a low rise for the more fashion conscious women or women without curves. These are made to work in or do tactical work in. They are stretchy material so comfortable for movement, kneeling, etc. and also have the discreet elastic movement in the sides of the waist which is great for women and men alike because it gives you some weight gain/loss freedom and also makes bending/squatting more comfortable. The pockets are great, only downside I saw in using them for quick/repetitive access is all the velcro, but this could be fixed by placing a couple squares of velcro to keep it open. Overall I now have two of these pants and recommend them to everyone.

I ordered several pairs recently and am very impressed so far.The sizing is what I expected, the material and stitching seem great. and there are lots of pockets. The leg pockets have dividers (?) inside them so you can keep things separated. I did find that sometimes it took a bit of work to get things into the right sub-pockets so, for me, this feature may be a bit overkill. Over the course of wearing them for multiple days in the desert they stayed very comfortable. I probably should mention the waist band has some elastic so it stretches just a bit (which is good if you are bending down a lot), and the belt loops can handle both a "normal" belt as well as a bigger riggers belt.Overall, I would definitely buy these again.

These are amazing pants!!! If you've never worn the 511 Stryke pant, get these!!! You will probably never wear any other type of cargo pant after wearing these. Yes, they are a bit spendy, but they last forever and are great quality! I wear them every day for the job. I bought these in the green color because I am an Arizona Ranger and they are perfect for it! They have a little bit of give in the waist which is perfect for any of us over 40! I also really like to two horizontal pockets at the top of the thigh on these pants! I use one for my folding knife and the other for my I.D. I know other brands of these are less expensive like Propper and others....but these are made just So Much Better than them. I will be buying these until the day I die. Who knows...I might request to get buried in them! HaHa!
