5.11 Tactical Men's Men’s Taclite Pro 11-Inch Shorts, Lightweight, Adjustable Waistband, Style 73308

It has been a while since I wore Taclite Pro pants & shirts Since I was a teenager, I used to wear shorts. It is my firm belief that online learning is a good thing My pockets are crammed with items I need for my day, and I carry them with me wherever I go In my work environment, I am allowed to wear cargo pants, and even shorts, so I've developed a system around the pants I wear every day. When worn with a good duty belt, like the Blue Alpha Gear belts, these pants/shorts comfortably hold 7 to 8 pounds The gear we have weighs 8 lbs. My EMS friends first introduced me to this brand since they wore this type of pants for on-duty use. At present, I own six pairs of Taclite Pro pants, and this recent purchase added two more shorts to the collection. It has been close to 4 years since I last replaced the oldest pair. I agree, they are not perfect, all of them have small holes from abrasion and wear It's becoming more difficult to resist water, but for $30-$40 pants there was no mention of water That's an awesome set of 40. They have been on week-long backpacking trips with me as well. I wear them not just to work but also for leisure. These are my primary recommendation if you are trying to find an inexpensive pair of cargo/tactical pants. The problem is, I have two major concerns regarding Since I bought my fifth pair, I've bought every pair I've bought. When 11 new productions were put into motion, the stitching ended up being In the past five years. Increasing the cost has made these more expensive, now around $50 for shorts. Would be great if they could either tie off the stitching ends or burn the ends of them, so the stitch won't unravel over time. From the zipper snap, it is easy to tell which production is the old one and which is the new one. There are five snap buttons added above the zipper now, rather than the old design of six. The 11th and the 12th On the right is a photo of their logo and their Through rotating through the pairs that I own, I've realized that the new, production pairs are different in tolerance. There is a quality control issue at the company, but I do not know if they are setting limits for the company to tolerate. In the front right thigh pocket (the smaller one up front), some pairs have a larger pocket, but some pairs have a smaller pocket. It is the pocket I keep my phone in, which will fit perfectly in the older production pants/shorts when using the OtterBox Commuter case with my iPhone7. I have found that I have varying slop with each pair of the new productions. It could be said of other pockets, too, but this and the pocket located on the left side of the front thigh (the small one with velcro closure) stand out for me.

Now that the cargo pockets are positioned, you cannot use them for anything but things as light as paper, pens, and pencils. I am requesting that you make these shorts with vertical pockets inside the cargo shorts (maybe even with elasticized pockets? about the same size as a magazine. By doing so, we could store flashlights, mags, multi-tools, etc. conveniently in the pocket and avoid having them clang against the leg every time we step. Although the single pouch on the left leg is large enough to accommodate an item as I described, if you put a mag in there, you may as well open carry since only one item is there. A competitor of yours does this in the cargo pocket, and it appears to work well. The shorts would be near perfect with that change!

As for where they fit, if you're a tall person (6'4" and 240lbs) they fit better in the waist area and crotch the way other brands do. a few others as well in case I needed a comparison, and it seems these have more space in that area. As soon as I wear them for a while, I will comment on their durability.

There are several pairs of Taclite Pro pants I wear for work, including a pair with a mobile phone pocket The durability and functionality of these products have impressed me. I initially bought them because of the fabric's durability, but I found them to be too hot, and I should have read the other review that said that they My first time wearing these shorts was on a 95 degrees day and they were extremely As the day came to a close, I was soaked to the skin. However, my wife complimented how good the shorts looked, saying they would be appropriate for formal occasions if such a thing existed. You may sub-let me know when they are ready There are days with temperatures over 80 degrees.

The number 5 has been on my body. I've been wearing 11 Taclite Pro shorts for years, and when they finally began to wear out I decided it was time to replace them. The pockets have enough room for me to carry all my EDC stuff without looking like a bulky pillow. They are comfortable, durable, and have a lot of room inside. I have a wallet, two Kershaw knives, a flashlight, glasses, a tactical pen, a smart phone, two lighters, and a Celox Z-05, among other items. All these things disappear into the pockets a fold gauze and a 4" Israeli bandage. With an OWB and double mag pouch worn on the left side of the chest, the slash cut front pockets will remain accessible. Levi's jeans aren't as durable as they used to be. Additionally, the configuration of the full length five is the same as that of the five pockets. I use the 11 Taclite Pro pants for my EDC, so I don't have to re-setup my EDC when it gets cooler. As long as they don't come out with something better, I will keep buying these.

The pockets on one side are ideal for storing a pocket knife. Since I work two jobs as a mechanic and technician, I occasionally get grease, oil, and dirt all over me. As far as getting them clean goes, I've had no problems. An included pocket knife for one side, and a small flashlight for the other are perfectly sized for a pocket knife. You won't have to worry about losing your wallet because the back pockets are deep. On the front of the bag lies a D ring. I used to chain my wallet to it, but no longer do. I find the inseam to be quite comfortable, allowing me space to kneel, squat, These are a perfect fit for me, since I bought a size 38. You'll probably get a few years out of these shorts, though they are a little pricey. I would like to add one more point. The pocket remains flat and does not show wrinkles after being attached I do not iron mine. These shorts are great.
