I own 5 pairs of the LPG jeans for over a year now and I wear them everyday. I haven't have an issue with any of them yet.
I've tried almost every pair of LAPG pants type and they all seem to last far less than my 5.11s and Blackhawk pants. Sucks that LAPG can't be a long lasting alternative.
Honest, unbiased reviews are hard to come by. Good job, Jacob. Like SC Backwoods Bushcraft below, I go for Diamond Gusset brand jeans. As an aside, we make sand bags from the legs of worn out jeans for our gun club.
Oh thats cool!!! I would have never thought of that!
Thick thighs saves lives, man. Its for other reasons in your case 🤣 🤣 🤣
I blew out my LAPG jeans out exactly like that. They replaced them no questions asked but yeah, was a little surprised they ripped like that after 4 months.
The problem with warranties, even good ones- is that an amazing warranty on a sub par product still leaves you with a sub par product when you REALLY need it.
I like diamondgusset brand pants. They are USA made so they aren’t cheap. Those and 5.11 are what I’m currently rocking daily
Haven’t tried the jeans but ALL my pants are LAPG brand (core cargo, urban recon, urban ops, benchmark) and I love them. Durable, functional, good looking and inexpensive compared to 5.11 etc.
I hear that a lot. I think my issue was fit, for me the lapg thighs are too narrow for the waists.
I've never seen these jean-type pants from them before, but I absolutely love their Operator pants. I have worn nothing but those pants for literally years. I have two different pairs and haven't had any issues. Tucking my keys into that small front pocket, carrying a flashlight every day, etc. I will say their boots wear out quickly, but I like the cheap boots with the zippers on the side, so I just buy another pair every year or so.
5.11 fast tac urban pant for 90 percent of weather in nc, inside and out. I bought 4 pair 6 years ago, wore them working in a warehouse setting and nearly every day. They are still going strong. For cold weather in nc or elk hunting out west I wear 5.11 stryker pants. Only complaint is I wish they made a pant with the thickness of the stryker without the side pockets and no velcro.
What is worse La Police Gear is really terrible at customer service. I got the pants and they were too big I returned them at the end of Feb it is April and I still haven't got my refund yet. I wont ever buy anything else from them.
I appreciate the info. And your integrity. After years destroying jeans/pants the likes of Carhartt, Condor, and tons of Wrangler cargos (meh), I'm WAY past ready for quality cargo pants. Ill try the 5.11, then. Nothing to lose, tbh.
Maybe you got a defective pair. I have 6 pairs. Some for work and some for everyday. I edc carry knives multitools flashlights and my glock. I’ve never had an issue. I have a pretty active job and had no problems with the jeans. I did tear a small hole in my oldest pair but I snagged it on a nail.
This was my third pair from lapg 🤷♂️
I've been wearing LAPG Operator pants everyday for the last 10 years. I cram them full of gear and tools. They start to get rips after a couple of years. Not quite 5.11 quality, but half the price. I do have skinny bird legs. What works for me may not work for you.
I have two pairs that I bought 6 or 7 years ago , I’ve not had any problem with them other than they are not very comfortable ! Mine are not denim but a lite canvas ! I work in the wood shop with them and enjoy the extra pockets ! At $25. Each I’d say it’s a pretty good deal .
I had the 511’s hold up for a while. In metal work I primarily wear cotton so the carhartt double front duck pants will last me about a year
Wrangler Riggs workwear jeans are all I ever buy in long pants. They last.
yeah I blew riggs workwear Jean's out in under 6 months nothing lasts with me.
I wear 5.11 stretch jeans every single day. I have 7 pair and carry everything you mentioned an a few more items. I am a farmer and am very hard on jeans. My oldest pair is about 1.5 years old and the newest approx 11 months. The oldest are starting to age a bit. I would rather pay $50-70 once a year, or two, than $40 every 6 months. I have had very similar problems with other brands. I only bought the 5.11s because of the extra pockets. Once I got them and began wearing them, I saw that without snagging them on something, they were going to hold up. I have even snagged one pair of them on barbed wire and the hole has grown very minimally. I highly recommend them.
I did slice into one pair with an axe that was shaving sharp... but like you said, the hole hasnt grown, it mostly went through the top layers, these have 2 layers.
Lol
It was close haha
5.11 are good I wear alot
Thanks for the info and saving me a few bucks. Fwiw their weapon light breaks too. Can’t speak for any of their other products.
I have the 5.11 apex pants, they are pretty great, even better than my carhartt khakis that I had.
I have two pairs of these. They're still holding up just fine, but I do training or work in them.
Since doing the video i think the reason im hard on certain pants is because their thighs are too small
Are you sure you didn't have a waistband carry accidental discharge, that you forgot about? it may not be the Pants fault.
Haha BOOM!
I've been a big fan of the tactical distributors pants for a while now. Their legend jeans and Carlos ray pants are great!
Nice to hear critical review for a change. Thank you.
FWIW, I own 2 pair. One is going alright 2 years in. Few small rips, but OK overall. One pair ripped up the back pocket seam after probably 3 months. LAPG warranties them for me with a credit because a replacement wasn't in stock in the color and size. Idk, I'm 50/50 on them. Super comfy though.
They are comfy!
It turns out the thighs are just too small for me- so they bind and quickly tear.
If it werent for that they would prob be ok i guess.
It took me a long time to figure out.
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors for 20 bucks tho, I figure it's worth the gamble. Don't know what they cost nowadays. One thing I don't like is how thick the reinforced pocket is. Too thick for most my knife pocket clips to go in easily. Pita when you gotta one hand put away your knife, which is like... every time lol
Looks like you buy pants that are too tight for you. I have a closet full of LAPG clothing, including those jeans without a single problem. I regularly advertise their stuff, not because I've ever been paid for it or gotten it for free, but because I've always been so impressed with it. In fact, I was getting ready to review those very jeans as some of the best on the market. I sure hope people don't just abandon a great pair of affordable jeans because of this. 5.11's? Lmao!
I could buy 36-38" waste pants and cinch 6" out of the tops of them, but that would be stupid lll
Seriously dude? You really are going to sit there and shit on every channel that is bigger then you and say they are all just giving good reviews because they get free stuff, but you are the only honest person? Get over yourself.
I have several pairs of their cargo pants that I wear daily for work and they have held up great for over 5 years now.
Lol show us where the truth hurt you-
I know what channels are with what marketing companies- look up your favorite channel and see who they work for 👍🏻
Thanks for a great review video! I almost gave them a shot, but as always you get what you pay for. LAPG pants are always on sale at half off, which is a strong indicator that marketing is their main focus, rather than quality. This particular model would be quite comparable to Pentagon Rogue Hero Pants/Jeans. I've brought two pants form them so far and to my recognition its been money well spent
Ill check those out!
I’ve been using these jeans for 3 years and they’ve been great
I where Rustlers.
Rustlers for the win!
That looks like some really cheaply maid pants for tactical gear. They probably charge arm and leg for them to. Thanks for the review.
they are 39.99 so pretty cheap in the scheme of things
@@christopherscott2012 Yes but it always says Down from 79.99 which is a decent indicator that they're more focused on marketing rather than quality
Interesting video.
I can not attest to all versions of their pants but I have three versions of their pants in my drawers right now that have lasted me 3 years. I am a surveyor and I’ve walked through the thickest of thick woods. No issues.
Edit: I actually got curious and went through my emails, it’s been over four years. The Atlas type pants, urban recon and urban ops. The worst thing that happened was the urban recons shrunk a hair(theyre a duck canvas material) and I did get a hole in the urban ops but I jumped a barb wire fence and they caught on my way down with my full weight(170lbs including gun, knife, flashlight heavy boots). Holes about the size of a penny and it’s just a little flap because of the rip stop material.
I’m sorry you had a bad experience but they’ve honestly been the best pants I’ve worn for work. Period. I can only imagine something like 5.11’s being even better.
Thats wild to hear! Maybe they have a few specific good models, or maybe of equal possibility they have good batches and bad batches
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors I’m equally amazed at your awful experience. I was actually going to purchase another 6 pairs to have as backups as these are bound to fall apart soon. Now I’m hesitant.
No experience with their brand jeans, but I wear the urban tactical khaki style pants and have been for atleast 4 years with zero issues. Bought the Atlas pants over the holidays, havent had an opportunity to wear those yet.
Maybe they have bad runs, or bad models. Having 3 failures from 3 different pants in a row was too much for me though!
IDK what you're complaining about at 2:47. Looks like easy access / ventilated for your comfort to me.
A handy viewport haha
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors Seriously though, I have no experience with their jeans, but I have been wearing LAPG Basic Operator pants (cuz I'm an oPeRatOr 😉) every day for the last 5 or 6 years. I've got around 6 or 7 pairs now. Basically I wanted some cargo pants and I think I saw Chris Tanner or somebody recommend them so I gave them a shot. For $23-$28 a pair, I've been pleased. They eventually fray at the bottom, but for the price, they've been gtg. Granted, I'm mostly working from home and sitting at a desk, but I wear them every day, whether working outside around the house or whatever. And I carry at 4 o'clock, and also EDC a couple flashlights, medical, pocketknife, etc.
I do 100% agree about the front button. That is entirely too long and absolutely digs into me. Might be time to try some 511s or something else.
Sorry you had such a crappy experience with the jeans.
@@justaguyokay i had this experience with their jeans and 2 of their cargo shorts- but i just did another video that is uploading now that i should have done years ago-
When i do a review like this, the context really is for prepping- so while the pants may be good for every day use for some people, i would like, and i need to work on, framing every review to the perspective of what will or will not work in an inhospitable environment.
For any kind of serious environment i do not recommend these pants- i recommend investing either in issue pants on the cheap, or 5.11's. There are other options on the higher end that i am sure i will never review.
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors I hear you on the context. I think you're biggest issue is those big legs though. I know how to solve that problem. Just skip leg day 😁
Also, I totally forgot I have a few pair of the LAPG basic operator shorts too. Once again, cuz operate. They've been fine too for everyday use.
@@justaguyokay hahaha nnnoooooo cant skip legs day!!!!
Just buy 5.11 jeans
The reason you’re having the problem is the Jean cut you’re selecting brother and it has to do with what wears on you properly took me awhile to figure out what cute work on me best in my tactical jeans it sucks though Because these are affordable but aren’t going to work for everyone 😢
Boot cut (which these were) or anything else-
The issue is the ratio between waist and thigh diameter.
It took me a long time to figure it out, but most brands just have a thigh that is too tight, so i have to go up 2 or more inches in the waist to be comfortable.
But thats dumb 🤷🏻♂️
@@Thepreppersbunkeroutdoors I go with relaxed fit I wear I 36 I go about 38 on regular fit on these style jeans took me watching a video on 15 ways jeans are cut and fit to figure it out thanks for answering was watching your mountain bike video
@@MajesticRidez makes sense!
🤘🏻
Dam dude. I dunno what you did to them but I have 8 pair of terrain flex slim fit and 4 pair of bfe stretch khakis and I beat the hell out of them. I carry a gun everyday and a knife, light, keys, wallet etc and haven't had a problem.
I didnt do anything much in them- just walk around- maybe take a big step here or there 🤷🏻♂️
Yepper! made in #China
if you work a job it makes sense but STOP
What in tarnation?
Hahaha
bruh your overreacting dont expect it to last like 9 years not everything lasts long and i have lapg pants and they are good so stop with the nonsense
I didnt expect them to last 9 years, just more than a month or so 👌🏻
