I have a Navy Blue pair and after over a year they still looked and fit great, I liked them so much I ordered a black pair! Room to move without being too baggy! I still practice martial arts and ride motorcycles, so they are good for mobility and have extra pockets. The large side leg pockets have sub pockets to organize whatever you have in them - great for a large cell phone. Real men need room to move! Quality and strong military uniform like material. I am retired military, and these are the closest I have found to the comfort and versatility of uniform pants that are not real camo uniform pants. Read more

The 5.11 TDU pants will not let you down. I am extremely tough on my clothes and needed a pair of pants that satisfied multiple functions. These TDU pants dry quickly for those wet-weather backpacking excursions. They are durable and maneuverable. The cargo pocket is convenient and even has smaller pockets--which fit my smartphone perfectly. Bottom line, these pants are comfortable and last a long time. I am on my 4th pair and will buy more. Each pair has lasted well over 2 years. Better than anything else on the market--period! Cons: - These pants shrink! No problem, purchase a size up. I wear size 36-38 waist and purchase the XL version of these pants. At first, they are baggy but after a wash or two, they start to fit and now, after 2 years, they still fit perfectly. The one time I purchased the correct size, they shrunk down a little too much for my liking--I want some wiggle room to launch myself over a fence or boulder when necessary. Read more

PLEASE read this before ordering. Just wrote a review on the 511 TacLite Pro (same company and series). First I think I am going to love these pants and may upgrade to a 5 star. I bought these and the TacLite Pro looking for a very durable work pant for around our farm. The reviews on the 511's have been great and have not been happy with the wear of Riggs and Carhartt (even their 12 oz fabrics). I wasn't sure whether I should buy the TacLite Pro or these regular TDU's. We have to work in areas of bramble, brush and briars, and wanted something to make that easy, as well as comfort, functionality and durability. I liked aspects of both the Prolite and the regular TDU, especially the heavier weight of the TDU for brush work. Key comments: Size: The TDU's come in S, M, and L sizing only. The Lites you order via waist size and inseam. I usually wear between a 32 and 34 in the other work brands. The TDU M is supposed to fit 31.5 to 35". Side note TacLite comes in more typical Waist and Inseam sizing. I ordered the Lites in a 32W - 30Inseam and the Regular TDU's in a M Short. Both arrived on the same day. I tried the Lites first, a little apprehensive that these might be a little snug, especially with my winter layers on (thermal top, regular underpants, thermal bottom, and a turtle neck). The Lites fit GREAT!!! The elastic waist made them easy to put on etc!! I was sure the regular TDU's would be even at least as good since these also have an elastic waist and the medium waist range was 31.5" to 35". COULD NOT EVEN BUTTON OR SNAP!!!!!! The TDU Regular pants are flat out sized wrong!! I have never worn a 35", let alone with an adjustable elastic waist. I could VERY comfortably fit into the 511 TacLite Pro 32" pants and could not even button the regular TDU which should fit up to a 35" waist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I liked the weight of the pants and most other things about them, so I ordered the L Short. The L is for waist size 35.5" to 39". These arrived and are slightly baggy, but fit about like the M should have fit. I am sure a true 36" or 37" waist person would not fit into a L. Other notes: The pocket design on the regular TDU is quite different from the TacLite: no small front pockets ( a drawback IMO); back pockets are small and not slanted (another drawback IMO); front cargo's are large, but a little low, there are nice dividers in these (not in the Lite's) which is helpful. Bottom line - I think I will really like these pants, but would love them if 511 fixes the sizing fiasco, and changes the packet design to be similar to the TacLite Pro. Read more

The stitching in the style are absolutely phenomenal. The elastic weight band of the pants hold extremely well and I rather enjoy it. If I would have known I would have gotten be sooner The style goes really well, especially with my work uniform The pants have been holding up extremely well between multiple washes throughout the week and consistently wearin for 10 to 12 hours a day. Absolutely ants he performances held very well is it for also has an extremely well? I barely noticed it. It's ever even there zipper and I will say the pants have not developed any holes or tearing or ripping rather very good Read more

Incredibly durable, they wash well (no shrinking), water repellent, very comfy, and they make my butt look fantastic. The sizes might be a little confusing. I'm 6'3" with a 36" waste, and the XL Long fits perfectly. Keep in mind the waste band expands with some stretchy thingamajigs, so I could probably fit into a Large Long, but I like the added room in the thighs. I'm thinking about getting some different colors to wear instead of jeans, as these are actually very cool to wear around with sneakers and a t-shirt. Rock on, tactical nerds! Read more

These pants are awesome. Love the elastic belt line. They hold up amazing to abuse and wear. I work in the food industry, and the inner pockets work well with keys and other equipment. These pants are the best I recommend them to everyone in the working industry. Nice and heavy duty, my second round with these pants. VERY MUCH Worth the money. These pants are outstanding; I spend my days outdoors getting orders. These pants bead water well unless they get soaked, and they're very durable, Also, resisting any tears from branches, thorns, and rocks. The pockets inside the leg cargo pockets help to keep notepads, pens, tac keys, etc. better organized. The sizes run small, I'm a 32 waist and have the 31.5-35 pant and they're pretty snug, but they do stretch to fit most waists in the range. Read more
