Excellent Tactical Pants. A+++
Excellent Tactical Pants. A+++
The pocket layout/options are much appreciated... plenty of places for wallet, phone, knife, light, and magazines. anything you can imagine. Material weight is good... not too thin, not too heavy. These are tied with 5.11 apex for my favorite pants... except these are half the price! The only thing ! would change is to lose the sticky band on the inside... this is not friendly to iwb carry.
