I have been wearing Vertx pants but really look forward to trying these and the jeans. Finally guys are getting comfortable pants!! It took years for Cherokee to make scrubs for men that stretch. Now I can work at the hospital 14 hours in comfort. My wife just got a pair of 5.11 Wyldcat pants in the mail last week. She LOVES them! You should surprise your wife with a pair. Thanks for the reviews, Ive been trying to find one.
Based on your review I ordered the 5.11 Defender Flex Pant, and received it today. As usual, your reviews are well done and motivating enough for me to go check the gear out. The Defender Flex is much nicer than I thought it would be. Just wish it had a small thigh pocket like the Vertx Delta Stretch, I picked those up too last week and love that pocket. All in all, the 5.11 Defender is a really nice pair of trousers and I am looking forward to their denim version soon to come.
I'm torn between the 5.11 defender flex pants and vertx delta and no stores near me have them to see or try on, can you help persuade me one way or the other? Both look awesome.
I ordered these pants after watching your video and good thing I did! I just received them and they fit so well i'm going to order more! Thanks for the great review and keep posting videos!
I just picked up a pair of these pants at a brick and mortar 5.11 store and these are awesome. A word of caution is the sizes run a little big. I have other 5.11 pants that are a 36 which leaves room for CCW I needed to go down to a 34 and it still gave me plenty of room.
I've been wearing the Levis 'Elastane' style jeans for over a couple of years now, and they are holding up great. The added pockets in the 5.11 make it a big win in a tactical pant... I like the deep coin pocket, and the two extra utility pockets in the back. Thanks for the review... Tube On!
The Straight Fits are really roomy and have a loose look to them but not like baggy. The Slim Fits hug your calves, but leaves plenty of room for the thighs. Both are spacious around the crotch/balls area which allow you to have much better flexibility than normal jeans. In terms of looks, think of it like Levi's 505 vs 511.
The big belt loops are a great addition over the 5.11 stryke pants I usually wear with my SnakeEater belt the loops are small. Definitely going to give these a go👍 .....just checked and disappointed no Storm color option
The jeans are AWESOME. I use them for everything from range days to work, dates with the girl to social stuff. Amazingly comfortable and flexible. Worth the price.
Ehhh, decent pants I guess. Hard to beat what KUHL offers, especially their KONFIDANT AIR or RADIKL pants. The most comfortable and innovative pants out IMO. Worth every penny and their colors are sick! Try one pair and post opinion. Keep up the cool vids!
I need a pair of pants that I can work on helicopters with , but also be semi-professional when I need them. Not like an ugly pair of dickies or baggie blue mechanic pants. That "mag pocket" is perfect for flashlights for me. AND these pants a relatively cheap compared to other tactical pants. The slim version on this video look like they fit way better than the 5.11 picture on their website. Thanks for the review!!! It helped me in purchasing these!!
excellent review..i own some Bear Grylls cloths because i like having some wiggle room,but after watching this I'm so owning these when they become available..thanks again and take care.
Bought these and they're much longer than my other pants in the same size. Yours even bunch up a reasonable amount at the ankle. Need to find a tailor now.
Looks like a good pant-NOW if they only come in a "old guy, short Fat veteran"size! We'll be good. By the way, I appreciate the reviews you do, I have actually made several purchases after watching your reviews. Just continue to "charlie mike"
I got tired of the price point of some of those tactical pants, now the original vertx were my favorite and lasted forever. anymore I just wear some Wrangler nylon pant that they sell at Walmart and honestly other than the belt loops being kinda small for most belts, I use the proctor belt, works just fine for me and so much cheaper. even comes in your standard colors.

no offense brother only good things are meant by this comment but try UF Pro they have the best tactical pants I've worn in 12 to 15 years they're definitely for professionals and are expensive about $130 at the cheapest you can get them off of Poland near tactical a little cheaper but they're made in Slovenia just a little tidbit for you if you want to know about some real tactical pants
Going to pick up a pair of these asap. Have a couple of pairs of TD Carlos Ray 2.1's and really like them. These look similar., might be better might not. Totally on the want the tactical pants not looking tactical pants ban wagon. Check out the TD Carlos Rays. Would be good to see your perspective of the 2. Great vids, big fan keep them going...
Love your videos. Bought a bunch of 5.11 pants and the Skeletool CX after watching your reviews. Have you looked into a wireless mic? Seems awkward to have to move around with that wired mic.
New sub here. Keep the pants reviews coming! Haven't checked out your other vids yet but if you haven't done any belt review please do! Look forward to your other vids!
I've been looking for a pair of khakis to replace my current work pants which are sort of cheap walmart stretchy wrangler khakis. The fact that these pants look pretty similar and have a back-ish pocket to put my flashlight and maybe a phone would really help out how I carry my EDC. Gonna have to order a pair. Thanks for the review.
Great video mike, like always!! How would these be in the warmer weather (70-80 Fahrenheit)? Also, is the slimness throughout the entire pant or more focused on a certain area? (I.e. In the crotch, the legs, in the thigh area, Etc)
I've not tried these yet but the 511 Apex I have two pair and my freinds make fun of me for wearing them all the time. I'll have to try these ones out I guess. I seen somewhere they have 511 jeans also. Maybe you next review lol. thanks for sharing!
So I went and purchased these 5.11 defender flex (slim) pants at my local 5.11 store yesterday. Wearing them at work today, and I love them. They feel great. Unfortunately my ccw license will not arrive for about another month, so I can't speak on the conceal carry factor. However I would recommend these pants. The feel, stretchability, and cut are great. I will probably still order a pair of the Vertx Delta's though...why not. I definitely plan on buying more colors of the 5.11 defenders.
How are these in terms of breathability and water resistance? I’ve been reviewing best hiking pants on the market and they measure that, then I have tactical pants to compare. Would like sone pants that are durable and great on the range and a weekend shooting class, but breathable and water resistant hiking in the elements.
Great vids man, your insight has helped me tremendously. You're really down to Earth, but I can tell that you shop for quality and your opinions are really well thought out. I would love to see what you think about some pants made by GoRuck and TAD (Triple Aught Design).
Same size pants I wear at least for waist. Sometimes a 32 length feels baggy. How tall are you? You wear pretty form fitting shirts, where do you usually find your tshirts? I wear size medium and sometimes I find appendix concealment a slight challenge. Maybe it's just me, but sometimes I feel with movement you can see a bump or whatever. Since wearing appendix I for the most part will not wear any other way. I sport a G26 99% of the time. Can't conceal a G19 appendix comfortably. I think I see why your holster conceals well and it might be the placement on the curve end of the holster to pull the handle closer. Might have to buy one and try it out. I switch between two depending on my shirt.
Thanks for your great reviews. I just picked up 2 pairs of the new 5.11 Edge Chino's from local Bass Pro shop on sale for $47. May want to check them out. Definitely less tactical look and about the same number of pockets. Supper comfortable and perfect for business casual or everyday. I will say (at least for me) the Chino's seemed to run big with the elastic waist, I typically wear a 32 or 33 waist in pants but ended up going with a 30 waist in the Chino's and comfortably fits a M&P 9c IWB. Only complaint is even though advertised as "slim fit" I still wish they had a little more tapered leg opening. I've got a pair of the Defender Flex slim on the way also to compare.
@@MarkBunoy They're pretty darn tapered. They do make a non tapered version. The resistor pant I think. Not 100% sure, Kuhl has SO many different types of pants. I just like the ones they have with 2 drop in side pockets. One for my phone and the other for my vape. :-) One thing I have figured out (as I own 20+ pairs of Kuhl pants in several different styles) is that the Resistor pant and chino at lease has a Coin pocket that's deep enough for my Leatherman Skelatool. :-)
Tim Kennedy (sponsored by 5.11), in a recent interview with Lance Armstrong, said the solution to the gun problem is a gun ban, then proceeded to give a completely inaccurate explanation on how the background check, to get a firearm, works. Wow. Don’t take my word for it, watch it for yourself it’s at the 11 minute mark in the video. Will second guess purchasing from 5.11 now.
I have two pair of Ridgelines. My concern was that they would be a slim fit. Everyone told me that they have plenty of leg room. I ordered two pairs. I workout alot...and those things fit pretty close to my legs. I'm assuming these (slim) pants might fit extra tight for me.
These are awesome pants. However, they did everything right except for one thing, the front pockets are way too short. Classic case of design but no one wore them first to see what might be better. Seriously great pant but my iPhone 7 jabs me. So close. Also, if 9.11 is going ng to continue to have Tim Kennedy as a spokesperson, then I may not but anything more from them. (Tim Kennedy is not the best 2A supporter, just see his Lance Armstrong interview and judge for yourself).
Great videos as always but I have to ask where do you get a lot of your shirts at?!?!? I see so many of your shirts that are firearms related and I. Really want some so I can get away from the standard plain, solid colored v neck shirts
Dude what's with all of the arse shots!? Just kidding, great video. Killer breakdown and seems like a great pair of pants. I really like the location of the pockets on the back above the regular back pocket
Hello! How are these pants with sizes? I just can not determine the size that suits me. I saw a dimensional grid on the manufacturer's website. But nevertheless, I have difficulty with the choice. I saw in one your review of another pair of pants of this firm that the size on the tag was W32 L32. Usually, with a belt size of 87 cm, I'm guided by the size of W34 L34. My height is 6'1" ( 186 cm ), weight is 175 lbs ( 79 kg ). I read in the review on site 5.11 that this model of pants is slightly larger. This is true? Good luck in the new year!
So mike...are u into any type of self defense? Do u rely more on your guns, ammo, Knives? Do u conceal and carry outside. Not trying to make you vulnerable by having u answer just curious. What the mindset I guess u could say.
Those are very cool. But I have a pair of Tactical pants made by Rustler ,I gottem at the Walmart for 9.95 I can carry 2 double stack fullsize 1911's and 5 extra mags ,1 coffin shaped switchblade and a number 12 Opinel (my favorite knife) , i also wear a tactical 2X Tee shirt .It was marked 1.00 at garage sale down there in Standish Mi, . But I jewed them down to .75 cents. Then I got my tactical black steel toe shop work boots. Then I got 275 pounds of ass and two big fist . Hell , you caint even tell im carrying any weapons. All people can see is a little bit of beerbelly stickin out . But I will fix that this year at the 1st garage sale where I can find a good used 3X Tee Shirt.
Really wish 5.11 would’ve priced these at 40/45 bucks shipped...no way am I paying 70 bucks+shipping for a pair of jeans :/ which sucks because these are the only real slim fitting pants that I think really look good that I can find in a khaki/tan.
So are you saying that you wear a 32 waist without the gun and with the G19 you do not need a 34? Did I understand you correctly because I wear a 32 without IWB carry and a 34 with IWB carry.
Another great review! Your review of the Vertx Delta made me buy them. (Best pants to date!) Question: how tight are these 5.11 pants through the thigh and buttocks areas, as compared to the Vertx? Built like a centaur, here. Thanks!
may get pair just to have a hybrid tactical jean. wish they were 85%+ cotton to not risk dripping melting fusing into skin in hot situation like campfire/bonfire and stagehand pryo technics. hhave 100% cotton tactical so far, they still make denim noise, but no synthetic swish, so i can stealth creep on someone. ps. has anyone worn mostly synthetic pants yoga/tactical etc. and been exposed to these super hot infernos or other heat sources and lived to tell us about it aka not experienced synthetic melt drip fuse?
just found your channel, but I love it. new subscriber here, keep it up! Love how your tactical but not so "dick hard" about it. some of these guys go a bit over board with their demeanour and "tacticallity" but I like your vibe. Dope video quality too
I run, squat and workout my legs so my thighs are so tight in those pants I look like a 40yr old hipster lol How would you compare the Ridgeline vs Defender Flex?
I'd say the ridgelines are a little roomier in the thighs. I don't often skip leg day, but don't have monster thighs either - both of them work alright for me.
Hey Mike. I've read through all of the comments (I believe) and I didn't see anyone asking the question I am hoping to have answered: Are these jeans true to size? Is a 30" inseam really 30"? Is the waist true to size? Do they run big or small? I'm looking to use your coupon code and order through Optics Planet, but I want to make sure I'm choosing the right sizes. Thanks! OTR
Hey man, I haven't measured with a tape measure or anything, but I typically wear a 32x32 in most pants and these pants seem to fit me perfect in a 32x32.
That's exactly what I was hoping to hear! Thanks and placing and order either today or tomorrow! By the way, still loving the videos. Also liked that you shared the personal things you did on your hotel room vlog. Keep up the greatness!
@lastlineofdefense im struggling to decide between a pair of these and the vertx delta stretch. if you had to choose between the two, which would you choose and why??
I have a tourniquet / trauma kit in my EDC bag, as well as in my car - 99% of the time, I'm very near either of those. I've debated carrying a tourniquet on body though, and I may one day.
when said magazine rear pocket. was expecting pistol mags, but whips out AR mags. not disappointed.
Lol that’s funny

These actually look really good. Good job 5.11!
I got two jean versions of these. Very comfortable and they look good on me. I’ve gotten compliments.
Those pants look awesome. I own one pair of 5.11 Apex pants and they are the best pants I've ever owned. I'd like to try a pair of these as well.
I've been wearing the Levis 'Elastane' style jeans for over a couple of years now, and they are holding up great. The added pockets in the 5.11 make it a big win in a tactical pant... I like the deep coin pocket, and the two extra utility pockets in the back. Thanks for the review... Tube On!

Idk if it’s the mic you’re using or if your voice changed that much in 3 years 😂
Love your vids man
Definitely would like to see the jean version
DaAm I couldn’t even tell you were carrying until you whipped it out 😂
The jeans are AWESOME. I use them for everything from range days to work, dates with the girl to social stuff. Amazingly comfortable and flexible. Worth the price.
Went shopping at Old Navy and bought similar pants with a flex fabic that have a stretch in them for half the price.
These were my favorite pants. Too bad they’re discontinued by the manufacturer now…
Ehhh, decent pants I guess. Hard to beat what KUHL offers, especially their KONFIDANT AIR or RADIKL pants. The most comfortable and innovative pants out IMO. Worth every penny and their colors are sick! Try one pair and post opinion. Keep up the cool vids!
7:30 "if someone was getting up and personal with your pant" 😂
I need a pair of pants that I can work on helicopters with , but also be semi-professional when I need them. Not like an ugly pair of dickies or baggie blue mechanic pants. That "mag pocket" is perfect for flashlights for me. AND these pants a relatively cheap compared to other tactical pants. The slim version on this video look like they fit way better than the 5.11 picture on their website.
Thanks for the review!!! It helped me in purchasing these!!
excellent review..i own some Bear Grylls cloths because i like having some wiggle room,but after watching this I'm so owning these when they become available..thanks again and take care.
great review. I always look forward to your vids. Keep em coming!
There is an uncomfortable amount of slapping in this video..
Alejandro Garcia 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I watch all of your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching, brother.
Bought these and they're much longer than my other pants in the same size. Yours even bunch up a reasonable amount at the ankle. Need to find a tailor now.
Looks like a good pant-NOW if they only come in a "old guy, short Fat veteran"size! We'll be good. By the way, I appreciate the reviews you do, I have actually made several purchases after watching your reviews. Just continue to "charlie mike"
I got tired of the price point of some of those tactical pants, now the original vertx were my favorite and lasted forever. anymore I just wear some Wrangler nylon pant that they sell at Walmart and honestly other than the belt loops being kinda small for most belts, I use the proctor belt, works just fine for me and so much cheaper. even comes in your standard colors.

great vid. I died laughing when came to zipper and junk. keep up great work.
Great video. Just got these in charcoal. Awesome pant.
Id love to see an insulated model for the winter months
no offense brother only good things are meant by this comment but try UF Pro they have the best tactical pants I've worn in 12 to 15 years they're definitely for professionals and are expensive about $130 at the cheapest you can get them off of Poland near tactical a little cheaper but they're made in Slovenia just a little tidbit for you if you want to know about some real tactical pants
Going to pick up a pair of these asap. Have a couple of pairs of TD Carlos Ray 2.1's and really like them. These look similar., might be better might not. Totally on the want the tactical pants not looking tactical pants ban wagon. Check out the TD Carlos Rays. Would be good to see your perspective of the 2. Great vids, big fan keep them going...
Love your videos. Bought a bunch of 5.11 pants and the Skeletool CX after watching your reviews.
Have you looked into a wireless mic? Seems awkward to have to move around with that wired mic.
I haven't done enough research on them - but yeah the wire usually isn't an issue, but here it certainly was kind of ghetto... haha oops.
nice review. I went to the 5.11 site to check them out.. unfortunately no "big boy" sizes...yet.
New sub here. Keep the pants reviews coming! Haven't checked out your other vids yet but if you haven't done any belt review please do! Look forward to your other vids!
I've been looking for a pair of khakis to replace my current work pants which are sort of cheap walmart stretchy wrangler khakis. The fact that these pants look pretty similar and have a back-ish pocket to put my flashlight and maybe a phone would really help out how I carry my EDC. Gonna have to order a pair. Thanks for the review.
If anyone is seeing this right now, the entire 5.11 store in Vegas is 25% off today. 5/6/2017 😆 I need restraint!
Great video mike, like always!! How would these be in the warmer weather (70-80 Fahrenheit)? Also, is the slimness throughout the entire pant or more focused on a certain area? (I.e. In the crotch, the legs, in the thigh area, Etc)
We gotta get you a longer cord for that lav. You can get an extension for less than $10
These are my next pair of pants. Thanks
Just a heads up, the pants are posted on the 5.11 website already!
Very good!
Man your hair grew back fast since the last video!
Haha, I filmed this over a month ago, but just hadn't gotten around to uploading it yet.
So if you had to wear one pant for the rest of your life, 5.11 Defender Flex or Vertx Delta?
Caesar Hernandez that is tough... they're my two fave right now for sure, and the Stryke when I'm feeling more tactical, haha.
I've not tried these yet but the 511 Apex I have two pair and my freinds make fun of me for wearing them all the time. I'll have to try these ones out I guess. I seen somewhere they have 511 jeans also. Maybe you next review lol. thanks for sharing!
I haven't tried the defender flex, but own 4 pair of vertx delta stretch. Love them. My favorite pants, bar none.

why do they make fun of you? For the way they look? I just ordered a pair of apex pants. How do they compare to the vertx and defender?
For the close to the same price you can get motorcycle jeans with Kevlar lining ..
How are these in terms of breathability and water resistance? I’ve been reviewing best hiking pants on the market and they measure that, then I have tactical pants to compare.

I think I see why your holster conceals well and it might be the placement on the curve end of the holster to pull the handle closer. Might have to buy one and try it out. I switch between two depending on my shirt.
Thanks for your great reviews. I just picked up 2 pairs of the new 5.11 Edge Chino's from local Bass Pro shop on sale for $47. May want to check them out. Definitely less tactical look and about the same number of pockets. Supper comfortable and perfect for business casual or everyday. I will say (at least for me) the Chino's seemed to run big with the elastic waist, I typically wear a 32 or 33 waist in pants but ended up going with a 30 waist in the Chino's and comfortably fits a M&P 9c IWB. Only complaint is even though advertised as "slim fit" I still wish they had a little more tapered leg opening. I've got a pair of the Defender Flex slim on the way also to compare.
How’s the fit when you compare them to each other?
@@MarkBunoy to be honest I can't remember. I'm wearing only the Kuhl Resistor Lite Chino's these days.
@@JaredAkers I was thinking about those too. Do they wear well with 10inch boots or are they too tapered at the bottom
@@MarkBunoy They're pretty darn tapered. They do make a non tapered version. The resistor pant I think. Not 100% sure, Kuhl has SO many different types of pants.

Just bought 2 pair for $60. Go on the 5.11 site. They're originally $70
Just bought two pairs for $46
Great channel. Nice to see a bit more videos from you lately. =)
You should do a video on some gray man style shorts
Dude what's with all of the arse shots!? Just kidding, great video. Killer breakdown and seems like a great pair of pants. I really like the location of the pockets on the back above the regular back pocket

Thanks for a great review.is there much difference in the “5.11 flex range pant,to the ones you are reviewing?
I honestly didn’t see the concealed glock I was kind of surprised
So mike...are u into any type of self defense? Do u rely more on your guns, ammo, Knives? Do u conceal and carry outside. Not trying to make you vulnerable by having u answer just curious. What the mindset I guess u could say.
Situation awareness is always number one. I do always carry a gun, but it's a last resort.
Check out the Fjallraven Vidda Pro Trousers
Those are very cool. But I have a pair of Tactical pants made by Rustler ,I gottem at the Walmart for 9.95 I can carry 2 double stack fullsize 1911's and 5 extra mags ,1 coffin shaped switchblade and a number 12 Opinel (my favorite knife) , i also wear a tactical 2X Tee shirt .It was marked 1.00 at garage sale down there in Standish Mi, . But I jewed them down to .75 cents. Then I got my tactical black steel toe shop work boots. Then I got 275 pounds of ass and two big fist . Hell , you caint even tell im carrying any weapons. All people can see is a little bit of beerbelly stickin out . But I will fix that this year at the 1st garage sale where I can find a good used 3X Tee Shirt.
Love your video. Always well done
You never put in the color of the pants in the description
same im 5 5 and wear a 34 30 and thses jus end up looking baggy on me
Really wish 5.11 would’ve priced these at 40/45 bucks shipped...no way am I paying 70 bucks+shipping for a pair of jeans :/ which sucks because these are the only real slim fitting pants that I think really look good that I can find in a khaki/tan.
last night on LAPG I found these pants in the jean. if u could review the Blackhawk Pursuit pant
So are you saying that you wear a 32 waist without the gun and with the G19 you do not need a 34? Did I understand you correctly because I wear a 32 without IWB carry and a 34 with IWB carry.
Another great review! Your review of the Vertx Delta made me buy them. (Best pants to date!)
Question: how tight are these 5.11 pants through the thigh and buttocks areas, as compared to the Vertx? Built like a centaur, here. Thanks!
Haha, they feel pretty similar in size all around. I'm not sure but I do feel like the Vertx are a little stretchier.
Thanks!
Good job Lad!
may get pair just to have a hybrid tactical jean. wish they were 85%+ cotton to not risk dripping melting fusing into skin in hot situation like campfire/bonfire and stagehand pryo technics. hhave 100% cotton tactical so far, they still make denim noise, but no synthetic swish, so i can stealth creep on someone.
ps. has anyone worn mostly synthetic pants yoga/tactical etc. and been exposed to these super hot infernos or other heat sources and lived to tell us about it aka not experienced synthetic melt drip fuse?
I've not seen your 511 Apex review. Was wondering your thoughts. Plus I seen somewhere 511 has jeans now?
just found your channel, but I love it. new subscriber here, keep it up! Love how your tactical but not so "dick hard" about it. some of these guys go a bit over board with their demeanour and "tacticallity" but I like your vibe. Dope video quality too
What's the story with that knife attachment on your holster? Asking because I carry a Colonel LowVz and would consolidate holsters if possible
Nice Trousers,
Are these pants like the jeans defender flex , because the jeans are very slim and those you’re wearing look more loose fit. ??
Good job bro! I subbed and thumbs up man.
I can totally see that wire to your microphone
dope review
They don't look that slim... Mine fit a lot more slim. Did you order up a size?
Do you own a pair of the Carlos ray Td pant? Possible review and comparison in the future?
Bro don’t keep your light there with these pants; It will rub a hole in them quick. I’ve done it to two pairs of these with my small Fenix light.
Would be dope to know your height as a reference. I’m 5”11 and don’t know whether to buy 32x32 or 32x34
I run, squat and workout my legs so my thighs are so tight in those pants I look like a 40yr old hipster lol How would you compare the Ridgeline vs Defender Flex?
I'd say the ridgelines are a little roomier in the thighs. I don't often skip leg day, but don't have monster thighs either - both of them work alright for me.
Last Line Of Defense
How do you have space for appendix carry if you're wearing exactly 32 to size?
This cat has probably never been in a sticky situation
Where you able to get your hands on some of the defender flex jeans? Cant decide which ones to get, cant really get a feel for the difference
Hey Mike. I've read through all of the comments (I believe) and I didn't see anyone asking the question I am hoping to have answered: Are these jeans true to size? Is a 30" inseam really 30"? Is the waist true to size? Do they run big or small?
I'm looking to use your coupon code and order through Optics Planet, but I want to make sure I'm choosing the right sizes. Thanks! OTR
Hey man, I haven't measured with a tape measure or anything, but I typically wear a 32x32 in most pants and these pants seem to fit me perfect in a 32x32.
That's exactly what I was hoping to hear! Thanks and placing and order either today or tomorrow!
By the way, still loving the videos. Also liked that you shared the personal things you did on your hotel room vlog.
Keep up the greatness!
Placed my order today. Now, hopefully in 38-49 days I'll receive them and try them out! Thank you, again!
so funny fact the "change" pockets came about to keep a pocket watch in.
Do they pass the Rex-quan-do roundhouse kick requirement?
Also what is the MSRP?
I think they'd hold up well to a few thousand roundhouse kicks. I believe the MSRP is either around 60 or 70.
I can definitely see Napoleon rocking these bad boys while eating corn on the cob with Pedro
Cool, but how much are they?
Where can I buy that holster, it's bad ass!
Are these slimmer than the 5.11 Stryke pants? I have 2 pairs of the stryke pants and really like them but want something less tactical looking.
@lastlineofdefense im struggling to decide between a pair of these and the vertx delta stretch. if you had to choose between the two, which would you choose and why??
Deltas have been my goto lately. "LLOD" saves you 25% off anything at vertx.com as well.
Have you tried the tactical distributors Carlos Ray pants?
Is there a specific reason you don't carry a tourniquet and/ or a medical kit as part of your daily kit?
I have a tourniquet / trauma kit in my EDC bag, as well as in my car - 99% of the time, I'm very near either of those. I've debated carrying a tourniquet on body though, and I may one day.
They look like climbing pants.
Which is what 5.11 were originally for, haha. Back when 5.11 meant you're we're a good climber.
