5.11Men's Tactical Pant

I work in retail security on nights and therefore do a bit of shelf-packing when there are no demanding customers in the shop so I end up kneeling for a fair amount of the time. I bought two pairs of these around 18 months ago (first one, then I was so impressed, I bought a second pair) and wear them five nights a week at work so in effect, it is like continuous, 40 hours/week wear for 9 months. They are the best wearing trousers I have ever had in this job.They are extremely well built and the rather understated D-ring is on mine, welded so it will never open so I keep my Smart Pass and SIA badges on that. The diagonally-opening pockets are very good for quick access and I keep my handcuffs in one of them - quick access no visibility - if you see my handcuffs, it is because you are going to be wearing them.The small, long pocket on the left is ideal for pens (two normal, one fne marker for writing on CCTV photographs and a UV pen, along with a UV torch that goes in there as well) and the larger pockets below them are off to one side so I keep my pocket notebook in one of those.The belt holes will take wider belts (50mm) which takes the Peter Jones Klick Fast dock without mofing around on which I have my two-way radio.In short, they are well built, last ages, provide you with the pockets you need and are worth every penny. After all that time, I about to order some more.

I have still got the very first 5.11 trousers that I bought back in 2009 and they are still going strong. Nothing has come apart or failed. I have since bought dozens and they have all been great. I had also tried the lighter Taclite versions, but found them rather plasticky by comparison. Others have complained here and elsewhere that they are heavy and baggy, but I tend to find that if you get one size smaller than your usual trousers, they would be just nice and snug and the elasticated waist would do its job. Yes, if you fill all the pockets with kit, like I sometimes do, you will need a belt to keep it from ending up around your ankles. I just bought another pair, minutes ago. So, that's my take.

Excellent quality Tactical Trousers and the fit is spot on!! I purchased one pair, and as soon as i saw how good the quality was, I ordered a second pair - highly recommended if you are looking for this type of trousers that are of a high quality!! very comfortable and the colour is excellent - they also wash very well... I think these will last a long time!! highly recommended!!

Nice trousers. They are on the big side (width wise) but that always seems the case with anything long enough in the leg to come anywhere near fitting my son.

Fantastic

As above, I describe these as my annual trousers, I buy one pair every year or so and wear them constantly for everything. They wash nicely and last longer than jeans or other so called 'work' trousers. Loads of pockets so I can carry phone, keys etc.

The media could not be loaded. Little free.. size is perfect.

Good quality, slight change to style from previous pairs but makes little difference. Bought two pairs (different colours) but one pair were slightly smaller than the other. I have had this before with 511 trousers. On this occasion made little difference, just a bit snug. I guess a quality control issue but should not happen at this price. Shame otherwise top notch.
