| I'm not sure if anyone else has posted on these yet, but I just got my new 5.11 class B Pants and have to say that I love them. I've been wearing Blauer's for a couple of years now, which aren't bad, but they don't compare to these. They've got an elastic waistband (to accomodate for a fluctuating waistline), zippered 2nd pocket inside the right front pocket (which I won't be able to take advantage of becasue of my gun, side pockets with a zippered inner pocket and outer flap pocket which is velcro lined, and slit style flashlight/cell phone/sap pocket just to the rear of the side pockets. They're poly/rayon blend and are less than the Blauer's and Elbeco's. |
| I've got a couple pairs of the pants and just picked up some of the tac shorts the other day. The only complaint I have about any of 'em is they wrinkle too easily. You can press the hell out of 'em till you could almost shave with the crease and after 10 min in the car, it looks like you just pulled them out of the drier. Just cosmetics.....so far as actual use goes, I have yet to see better laid out, more comfortable pants. |
Man your tagline is just too damn funny because it's just too damn true. |

Here's the 5.11 website. 5.11 Tactical They've also been on the back cover of the last couple issues of Police Magazine, if you get that. I oredered mine through Brigade Quartermaster. Brigade Quartermaster You can sign up for a LE discount, or if you sign up for the Mail Call, they send you an e-mail for $10 off $50, $20 off $100, or $30 off $100. The 5.11 website also has links for onlie retailers. One more thing, the sizing is a little different on them because of the elastic waistband. I usually wear a 35" waist in Blauer's, but I had to get a 34", and I still have a little bit of extra room. |
