- The Phantom Ops pant from Vertx take many of the same great features as the Phantom LT and adds a side utility pocket and larger more overt cargo pocket. With that pocket these pants can be a little more overt as compared to the Phantom LT's.

I bought a pair of Kuhl Liberator convertible pants based on your TH-cam review. Sub. Now watching your other videos even though I'm not planning to buy anything at the moment. Your reviews are well thought out (side by side comparison), quality recording, helpful seeing the garments on you, etc. TOP NOTCH WORK that's appreciated. Thank you
Thanks for the sub! How do you like the Kuhls? I have 3 pairs of them now.
SnareMan I absolutely love them. The fabric
is amazing. Emailed Kuhl and was informed the liberators are the only pants made of this unique fabric.
viet4life714 I wish they had them also in a non-zip off form as well.
The phone pocket in the cargo pocket fits a pmag perfectly.
Outstanding job. Thanks for the video.
+George Thanks George!
Another great review. Very thorough. I have the LT and the OPS. Prefer the LT because the thigh pockets do not blouse out as much and look less like tactical shoot me first pants.
Thanks. If the LT's had the knife pocket they'd be perfect.
Good review Snareman, like the bit at the end when you are filmed wearing them. Always prefer seeing them worn on these vids. They seem to run to size, 34inch waist for me, fits fine.
Thanks. I think showing them on gives a little better perspective of them.
Thanks for the review been waiting for it
You're welcome!
Great review. Might try a pair of these to bolster my 5.11 TacLite inventory. I hate putting anything of weight in the cargo pockets though. Especially a full-up ar mag. Once you start running it bounces around and pummels the legs.
The Taclites were great pants... until all of this better stuff came along. Now there are so many better choices.
SnareMan So... I'm looking for an everyday, low-profile pants (and shorts too)... which one would you recommend. Blackhawk or VertX?
Instigator X I don't have any experience with the shorts, but if you want understated go with the original Vertx Phantom LT's
Thx.
Instigator X no problem
If you're eligible for GOVX.com, you can find them a little cheaper than what he mentioned.
Another great pant review!
Thanks!
The 5.11 Stryke pants are my favorite but I really like that side utility pocket on these. The problem I have had with the Tac Lite Pros and the Tru Spec 24/7 is that they're too baggy in the thighs. The Stryke Pants are MUCH better; can you comment on the fit through the thigh as compared to those other makes/models?
Thanks for another great pant review!
Thanks! You are correct - both of those are cut very generous in the thigh and Tru-Spec even says that they were designed for larger thighs. I'd say the Stryke's are the slimmest, followed by the Condor Stealth Operator (video is almost done and should be up next weekend or the following), followed by the Vertx pants. The Helikon Tex pants are also slim, but are harder to get in the US. I'd say these are just maybe slightly looser than the Stryke pants. I got rid of all of my TacLites because there are just far better pant choices these days.
SnareMan Awesome! I really appreciate that. I do think the only people who are still wearing the TacLite Pros are the ones that don't know what they're missing. I just ordered two more pairs of Stryke pants in the new (to that line) Tundra color yesterday and saw the ad on 5.11s site for their "Most popular pants, the TacLite Pros" and thought to myself, "Try lowering the price of the Stryke pants to that of the TacLites and see what happens!"
Anyway, thanks again SnareMan!
Logic Bob Yea, no kidding on the price.
Are there any pants from different companies that have hidden zippered pockets like these? Why not make a pants playlist?
Here you go: Playlist - th-cam.com/video/MujHVBe8o1w/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=SnareMan
You mean the zippered hidden pocket on the side of the main pocket? I have seen one other, but now I forget who it is. I never ever use it, to the point that I cut the zipper pull off
@@SnareMan Yes, I use the zipper pockets when traveling to prevent pickpockets. I did not know about these pants with 2 zipper pockets until I found your video. Thanks.
@@SnareMan Thanks to for the playlist.
@@tvbox6955 You're welcome!
No mention if the waist size runs true.
Oops. Sorry about that. I always by my Vertx pants 1" larger. I get a 33 instead of a 32.
Good timing on the video. Just got an email with a discount for these pants and am considering them in smoke gray, and now I’ve seen a video on the very pants I’m thinking about. How do these compare to the Original Tactical pants for warmth and comfort. I have 3 pairs of the original tactical pants, but no experience with the 65% Poly / 35% Cotton, Mini Rip-Stop pants.
I like the blends much better. Lighter, more comfortable, dries faster, better in cold weather, wrinkles less, shrinks less
Thanks for the input. Now I just need to decide if cat hair is a big enough issue with smoke gray.
gapster46 Unless you have a smoke grey or black cat maybe it wouldn't be as big of a deal.
How's the length and waist of the pant, is it true to size or is it better going up a size.
Length is good/normal. Waist is close but I still go up an inch on vertx pants.
Awesome! recently I saw your video on the new BMW 435 and it looks sweet. If you don't mind me asking, approximately how much is the import/export fee to bring it into the US? Thanks!
Its all included as part of their European Delivery program and you save a bunch of money on the car. No extra costs.
Which would be better for hot weather? Phantom Ops or the Phantom Lightweight Tactical?
They are both essentially the same weight pants. Same material, just different pocket layouts, although the Phantom Ops feels like they are a little heavier. If you can get a pair with the Airflow system it might be better for breathability.
Like these: amzn.to/29Nc1Do
+SnareMan Good to know. I saw the Airflow but they didn't have my waist/inseam size combo in that one unfortunately. Thanks for the quick reply. I got one of each.
No problem. Happy to try and help out
Is the utility pocket reinforced on top at all? I'm wrecking the pockets on my current Phantom LT's with my Emerson.
Not really, no. Emerson G10 is certainly quite aggressive.
Also, how well do those smoke gray pants show cat and dog hair?
I don't have either, but I'd bet they would show up quite a bit on the darker colors.
Which size on you in this video?
33"
Are they good as the TRU-SPEC 24/7 pants?
Do you mean the Tru-Spec 24-7 Xpedition pants?
YOU CAN FLY!!!!!?????
Well, yes, but I haven't done a vid showing me doing it yet. Don't want to get everyone all excited. ;-)
I figured you would have preferred something more windproof for flying
Jerry Grim I have some Smartwool that I wear under these so its not as bad. They are the trailing end anyway so its not as windy back there.
Nicely done. Nice-ly...done. slow clap*
Jerry Grim my cape helps direct some of the wind away as well. But I do appreciate your concern for my cold legs
