5 11 Tactical EMT EMS Professional Work Pants UPF 50 Fabric Adjustable Waistband Style 74310

Excellent pair of pants! I work in a busy urban 911 system so in just a few weeks these pants have been through the ringer. Not only is comfort unlike any other work pants I've tried, but the mobility is unmatched. I'm convinced I need to be buying jeans with the same gusseted crotch from now if I'm able to find them! Ass to grass squats plus ample pocket / storage space. You can tell that this pair of pants was designed with EMS in mind. Some of the little things I've noticed but appreciated - both sides offer pockets capable of holding trauma shears / hemostats. - internal pockets within the deep pockets to help organize the contents - belt loops with an elastic band for easy use of clips such as clipping on/off rig keys - deep full length back pocket, just outside of which there is a convenient radio strap to clip to - water resistant (took vomit like a champ! Just beaded up without soaking in and was able to wipe it up with cleaning wipes) -durable and we'll made material - no rips or tears even in very demanding positions If you're on the fence about buying, just do it. You won't regret it. I will no longer be using the s$%!y EMS pants provided by my company. I can't believe how many years I operated without these pants as I can't fathom going back at this point.

Just about the only pants I want to wear. These pants are a godsend. The wear and wash like iron with little to no fading even after a year of daily wear. Got them after seeing my daughter-in-law wearing them at work (she's an EMT) though I'm just a civilian. Admittedly I haven't used every pocket but the cargo ones have internal dividers that keep the contents in place even if you're rolling around on the floor with a grandkid or two. And the look great even on flabby old body. I was concerned about the high level of polyester in the fabric but it's a very high quality of twill, feel great, and breathe well even on warm days. They do weigh a bit and can be hot on a really hot day but it's a worthwhile compromise. BTW these go on sale on the 5.11 website once a year or so. I buy a lot of extra pairs whenever they are on sale as I've learned to stock up on a good product in case it goes away. But even at full price they're a bargain given the comfort, utility, good looks, and durability.g Read more

Very high quality. I expect nothing less from 5.11. The only thing I would say is something to think about is the thickness. I’m in Texas so any of my fellow EMS workers in wormer climates might want to think about that. These are fairly heavy and hot. These will definitely weigh you down in the heat of summer. But there still good pants. Read more

I only gave these 4 stars because i haven't worn them much...so they are basically new, so i can't say anything about the toughness/durability of these pants. Aside from that- I love these pants! a gagillion little pockets for your stuff. Good deep pockets in front, and in the seat...oh my god, somebody was actually thinking when these were designed, and the back pockets are VERY deep...fellas, you know how when you sit down, or riding in a vehicle, you're sitting right on your wallet? Not with these pockets. Your wallet should sit just at the bottom of your cheek. You don't even know your wallet is there (unless you have a wallet fulla stuff). The left seat has a second smaller pocket for...stuff. It says it has divided cargo pockets...yeah, and no. Inside each cargo pocket there is a bit of material just perfectly big enough to keep a normal sized bottle of water from bouncing around! Don't need it? Fine, just push the material in towards your leg so you can fit bigger stuff in there. The pen/forceps pocket cover straps on the cargo pocket don't just have snaps, they also have PLENTY of hook and loop material so snapping them down is not necessary. Above the right back pocket is a horizontal length of (basically) nylon belt attached at two ends-great for clipping stuff to yourself. Crazy about these pants, the back of the waist actually comes up-it's higher than the front of the waist. Feels great. I love these pants, they are quite heavy. I've only worn them for 40 hours, so, again, i can't say anything about durability. The fit was perfect. I have to say that i own a pair of 5.11's boots, and now these pants, and so far, i am THOROUGHLY impressed with the products from this forward-thinking company. Read more

Great pair of pants, very comfortable, fits true to size. I am a cook and they are great for kitchen use. Highly water resistant, plenty of pockets for knives, meat thermometers, etc. Very comfortable to wear, the waistband is flexible and it keeps your shirt tucked in. Read more

Run, don't walk, to buy a pair of these pants! For EMS work, they are perfect! The many features and pockets make these the perfect work pants. I usually take a 38W 34L in pants and these fit perfectly. The flexible waistband helps one to stay comfortable while bending. I wore these for two 12-hours days as an EMT at a Recent Spartan Race, where I was in and out of my UTV, on my knees and standing, lifting stretchers, and never once did "my pants" cross my mind, which tells me that they were doing exactly what they were intended to do. I also ordered the nylon belt intended for use with the pants and it worked perfectly. Read more
