5 11 Tactical Apex Cargo Work Pants Flex-Tac Stretch Fabric Gusseted Teflon Finish Style 74434

I’m a tall and thin with athletic build - not muscle bound - just fit. I absolutely love these pants. I’m a bit of a prepper and I am constantly looking for “dressy” tactical type pants that I can wear to work - business casual. Cargo pants are not appropriate. Pockets need to be discrete - fit needs to be slim but work with boots Needs to look good with a dress shirt and a pullover dress sweater or sport coat. These work great for all of these and they are so light and comfortable. Tons of very discrete pockets and inner pockets within those. Stretchy waist so you can go a bit smaller than normal if you have a small back side. I have no arse so it’s good to go a bit smaller in the waste and get a tighter fit in the seat. I hate baggy pants. These look just awesome and you can tell the quality is there. I don’t mind spending 90 bucks on a pair of pants that I can wear to work and don’t have to dry clean. I usually pay 100 or more for dress wool pants and I like these better. Read more

These have replaced Eddie Bauer's Guide Pro pants as my favorite pant. They are comfortable, lightweight, flexible, and durable. I love 5.11s extra pocket above/behind the rear pockets that are on many of their pants...perfect fit for my iphone 6s in a protective case. They are lightweight enough to not be too uncomfortable in the summertime in Texas (read 100+ degrees) though I prefer shorts if I can get away with it. The cargo pocket is flat and sewn on the inside and not a bulky eyesore like most cargo pants, similar to the EB Guide Pros mentioned above so they can be work with a polo/button down shirt for a business casual look that I can get away with at work. I have a few different items from 5.11 and every one of them is top notch materials and workmanship, but these pants are by far my favorite item from them. I did return a few because of the color, but that is a more personal preference so I wont comment on it. Read more

These pants are worth every penny. We r working in a really hot environment and they are super light and breathable. They have a stretchy waist with large belt loops and tons of pockets. No flaps or velcro which I love. Sizes are what i normally wear for pants and fit great. Read more

I ordered this for the hubby and as per his words: "Very comfortable, lightweight, flexible, dries fast and great for the type of work I do which includes a lot of bending, squatting, climbing and lifting. The material is breathable and has a slight stretch to allow me to move comfortably without the pants restricting range of motion. Has a lot of useful pockets that enable me to carry my essentials (phone, wallet, pocket knife, etc) as well as tools I need for certain jobs. I have 4 other pairs that are over two years old, has been worn to death and still in excellent condition to this day. These pants run true to size and inseam. Highly recommended." Read more

Upon receiving the pants, I noticed the quality of the color looks stunning. Very good stitching and flexibility on the pants when wearing them. The pockets are exceptionally very well designed and conform to the legs naturally as if the pockets were not there. The comfort waist area is very comfortable, but it seems that since it is thin, the waist and gusseted construction material of the pants, do shrug down when carrying items in the pockets. You notice this shrugging down when tightening the belt close to your waist, its as if the middle of the pants seem to go underneath the belt. I believe this can be fixed by placing a specific material on the middle top of the closing/opening where the button and hole meet (this is called the shrank) I have worn the 5'11 tactical icon pants, and when comparing it to the apex, the icon pants are better in my opinion, in several aspects. First, the button to close the waistband is better and more sturdy than the apex button going the hole. The icon pants are more closer to your legs, giving it that shape of your body look as if it was a custom designed made for you. With the apex however, the pants from the knees down are very loose and wide, making it look as if aesthetically you are wearing pants larger than your natural legs portion. I believe that if the apex is going to be a higher quality product not just functionality / flexibility wise, it is going to be have to find a more aesthetically engineering design to make the pants look not just like tactical / security pants, but to look and appear like a casual/dress pants. With respect to the material used for comfort it is of high quality, but as the pants taper down, it needs to be more closer to the legs to not give off the appearance of the baggy pants. I give these pants 4 stars, but not 5 due to the bagginess the pants carry in the lower legging portion. I do look forward to seeing 5'11 improving and finding a more engineering design that surpasses the icon pants but so far the icon pants are a better fit and comfort overall compared to the apex.

I bought a pair of these 2 years ago and I work as a LEO and do searches and things requiring me to get up, down, chase people, and all that pretty regularly. I wear this pair of pants more often than most people would would likely approve of (2 to 3 times a week). Literally the only issue I've had with them is the inside second button popped off one day and I dont know when. The pants still fit the exact same, but I dont know why they didnt use the same kind of button on the inside as they did on the outside(its a much more durable button attachment on the outside button). Regardless of this, they are my favorite pair of work pants and I'm going to be buying 2 or 3 more pairs this month in different colors so that I ha e more than 1 pair of my favorite pants. They are a bit pricey, but I think they are worth it. I'm about 6,1 and 200ish lbs, they fit more true to form than any other cargo pant I've owned, even better than other 5.11 pants of different style. Read more
