People wanted more pants reviews and this was the most requested pair so far. I'll be doing more reviews of tactical pants in the future - so let me know if there is a pair you want to see, or if you'd like me to touch on anything specific when I do.

I have 7 pair of the Stryke Pant, and I wash and dry with the pant turned inside out....helps tremendously with the fading, and premature wear look. Oldest pair is around 3 years old, and no durability issues. Worth the money, I think. Mike, another great review!
Good call on washing them inside out - I always hear that suggested, but never remember to do it myself!
c cope ..cold or hot water ?
Better also if you have a steam washer, gets extra clean w/o fading all your clothes with turning inside out.
Been wearing these for years doing heavy civil construction work. They do wear out and are flammable but the comfort and the way they give your gouch a place to be is very comfortable. They also do really well in wet inviroments when wet they dry with body heat I'm in the PNW so I speak from experience.
Thanks for going over the fitment, I almost ordered them at the same size as my other 5.11s. I'll be ordering one size smaller!
I love my 511 stryke pants. Very form fitting bag durable.even though it took me a year to actually realize they can take knee pad inserts they are the only series of pants I buy from 511 because of the quality. the stryke shirts are also incredibly good
I bought a pair before this video and i truly enjoy them, they're a little heavy but better than jeans in the summer time. I've worn them on and off duty and I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. I use the AR mag spaces for ID holder and flashlights, they're really nice for just separating all the things I carry.
Thanks for these pant reviews, your doing a great job dude! In any future pant reviews I would love to see more on the cut/fit of the pants (maybe a couple shots not so close) or how they compare in fitment to other similar pants! Thanks man
Great review! Knew you would like them! I always a small med kit in my left cargo pocket
dude frankly the tabletop reviews don't show things properly. don't listen to the haters
100% correct. Keep doing reviews wearing them. Ignore haters.
The vertical loops on the front 2 belt loops are designed so you can place a badge holder through them.
amazing pants very durable have had the same pair for the past 6 years jsut now showing wear and tear
Thanks for a very detailed review. I really appreciate it.
One feature not covered in your review - the pants have a special pocket behind the knee on the inside for inserting knee pads. Great for tactical training classes, especially when you have to kneel on gravel or other hard-surfaces.
Do any knee pads work or do they have to be 5.11 kneepads?
@@itsunworldly Good question. There are a lot of kneepad inserts in the 5x8-ish range that might work, the thinner ones at least. YMMV. If I was training or deploying on an expected exercise/mission where I expected to be needing kneepads, I'd probably use actual external hardshell kneepads to keep the pants from taking heavy abrasion, instead of using the neoprene or whatever soft thin pads that fit in the pocket.
Bought these pants a year ago because of this review. They're great. But I just noticed today there's a pocket inside the pants by the knees to insert knee pads
these are my favorite pants hands down. nothing else is even close
the loops on the belt loops are badge holders. they also work good to hold a radio Mic if you are carrying the radio in the cargo pocket
They are great pants! Wear them for work and outings/hikes. But I now recommend the Apex pants! If you think the Stryke pants are comfy think again!
"i only wash my pants when they need it" - AMEN brother
LOVE my Stryke Pants! In fact, I had the same pants on today, same color and everything!
Warning on the Stryke shorts, they are NOT just the same as the pants but cut down. Most importantly, the waist is NOT expandable. There are some other differences with the pockets but the waist was my biggest issue. They're the same price as the pants, with less fabric and they couldn't even include the expanding waist? LAME. I have decided just to have my Stryke pants cut into shorts and then I can get a little extra length too.
I did not know that, but thanks for informing all of us!
Logic Bob
Not to mention the horrible stitching directly below the crotch, the fly flap, and the lining of the zipper itself.
Three out of the six pairs I own (I obviously cycle them) have already gone to shit in the said places.
fuck you
Are they waterproof enough for heavy rains
@@tomwalker389 then you don’t wash your pants right at all then stop ruining them 🤣🤦🏽♂️
I sewed the inner part of the rear pockets down so they wouldn't flap up like your left one did in the video.
Solid review! You should review the 5.11 apex.
I work for Cal parks Cali and I wear these every day
another feature on these is pockets on the inside at the knees to add kneepads inside.
Ok I just ordered a pair, I hope they work out for me.
From the issued duty pants... Stryke's are a HUGE upgrade!
Excellent review! Just bought a used pair off ebay to check them out. These look excellent and I'm going to see if I can get away with wearing pants like this to work(business casual) as they would make much better "get home gear" if I needed to jog/hike 10-30 miles to get home than my normal pants.
I have these in the Tundra color and love them.. I was looking for a fitted/modern tactical pant thats not baggie and these are super high quality.. love how they stretch when you move.
Erik Ibarra what would you compare the tundra color to?
GearNut23 I would say more of a Olive color.. its a soft green with a hint of brown.
Great video. I buy the proper military style pants. Which are very comfortable for me since I do carry extra weight. But I will look into the Stryke Pants.
Cool review, I may buy some!
Those loops on the front belt loops are for a badge to clip there
Give us a gun room video, If you'd want to share that. Thanks and keep up the awesome content.
Man if any of you guys are on the fence about getting a pair of these pants just do it. I know an opinion coming from a complete stranger might as well be useless but these pants are worth the $$$. Very well made, plenty of pockets. ( the cargo pockets are amazing since you can store two AR mags securely as well as anything else you might want to.) first week I bought my pair of khaki stryke pants I got a big drop of blood on them which is expected working in a vet hospital. I simply took a paper towel and wiped the blood right off my pants... No smear or resemblance of a stain at all...simply amazing.
These are great pants! I'm wearing a pair as I type this lol. These are also my go to pant while I'm working on the ambulance. 2 thumbs up.
Have you ever tried the 5.11 EMS or Taclite EMS pants? Are the tape straps and extra pockets worthwhile?
The front pockets are perfect! I hate having my cell phone and pocket knife in the same pocket but I also hate having my pocket knife and cell phone on separate sides of my waist!!
What i miss on these pants is a zipper on the sidepockets, so i'm sure that my pockets stay closed when i drive motorbike. Would also be nice to have a loop inside the pockets to connect the keychain so i won't loose it on the motorbike.
I love my 5.11 Stryke PDU Class B Pants and I have 2 pairs of 5.11 Twill PDU Class B Pants
You forgot to mention The front belt loop, A badge fits there
Thanks. Maybe you can use your S7 to record your next vid. The focus could be better.
I prefer the magnetic pockets vs the zipper or VELCRO but not a deal breaker to have the VELCRO/zipper.
i own 3 pair of these and love them
These are great pants, I bought two pairs of the tdu green ones. Best pants own. All the other 5.11 pants are a waste of money. For $71.00 a pair they are a bit pricey, but well worth every penny. Thanks for the review on these pants. You're the reason I made my purchase.
how they holdin up?
@@complexteo-iwnl3321 year late reply but I wear mine every day doing electrical work, always bending over, knees on the ground and all that good stuff, if I use them everyday I get about 6 months from them
@@TheApepoop nice i got them about a year ago and wore them on the range for matches involving a lot of kneeling and weird positions ,wore them as a daily for rainy days ,in conclusion its a good pant,really tough but i wouldnt wear it as a daily as it being "too tactical"
@@complexteo-iwnl3321 I use them daily for work for the pockets lmaooo, so many places to put my tools pr garbage and what not, lol!
I'd like to see a video of your elimination process for a new camera. Lol, but seriously that would be cool to see. I'd like seeing the different fear you use, like GoPros and all that voodoo stuff. Btw pups looking great!
Great review.... 👍
These pants have their moments for sure, though one of The main things i dont enjoy about them is the main front pockets always want to come out when im taking items out, esp in the summer if my hands are a little sweaty, I cant stand it.
I do wish they would integrate the interior compartments for the cargo pockets on the tac lite pro.
good review. i feel you wearing them is a better review than the table top view but overall good review.
the front loops are for clipping a badge to
Last Line of Defense: How do these pants hold up against water?
Do they become quickly soaked during rain?
Are they more adopted for summer than the rest of the year?
I got so excited having those front pockets and then I accidentally ordered the TDU version, which doesn't have those... fml. Would you care to do a review video comparing the two versions? Which one is better?
Loving this pants. great review. one question do you make holsters. ? was told you do or did at one time
Happy for no more table top reviews
Kuhl pants review would be sick
Stryke pants are awesome! They fit far better than earlier 5.11 pants. Not sure who those were made for but they damn sure weren't made for me. The expanding waist is awesome for carrying. You can buy your pants in your normal size and have plenty of expansion room for your carry weapon. And they come in a 36" length for us tall bastards. I hardly wear jeans anymore. They're a little pricey but they hold up great.
Yeah, I heard a couple years back 5.11 hired an actual clothing designer - from then on their 'newer' models have been much, much better.
Out of all the tactical pants you reviewed which ones are the most durable?
wasn't a big 5.11 kinda of guy either with the big cargo pockets. check out the 5.11 Apex pants, these I actually like.
Hey man, love the channel. What wallet do you carry? I just bought a Trayvex but its a little big.
the pants are symmetrical. That's the word your looking for i believe
You’re *
Best damn pair of pants I've ever bought or owned. I got three pairs.
1:55 the word is symmetrical lol good video bro
Haha, that's it!
I was thinking ambidextrous
The word you’re looking for is symmetrical
Was expecting a Ned Flanders moment. "It's like a I'm wearing Nothing At All!"
bulldozamendoza hahahahaha
Awesome pants! By the way, it's called a self adjusting tunnel waistband.
Like the Ridgeline a lot. No cargo pockets and no Velcro pockets. Fits me and my work culture better.
I have three pairs of Stryke pants. all of them rip right underneath were those front loops appendix carry in these destroys them but other then that there good pants.
sorry yea I concur there garbage if you appendix carry
You should review some magpul pants.
Review a pant that is flame resistant! I can't wear these stretchy fabrics.
best pants I have ever owned, have 2 pair.
Are they good for winter ? Are they thick enough are they heavy duty for winter? I work outside thanks
You should check out triple aught design's most expensive pair of pants. Bought some in SF...best pair of pants i own
I hear good things about them - maybe one day soon I'll pony up and buy a pair.
Well done sir, but with all that stretching should I buy a size smaller?
More reviews like flanders style! Lol
Awesome pants
ALWAYS BE READY :)
best pants reviews...
They also accept the 5.11 internal knee pads.
These pants are super great for iwb carry. Why u say? Well when I want to iwb carry in my jeans I can’t because the jeans are fitted to my exact size and the handgun adds a inch or so depending on position I carry iwb. I can’t do appendix carry. It drives me crazy when I sit. I have a little gut. These pants have a stretch waistband built in on side. So when u add a iwb carry on your hip , it adjusts and it feels very comfortable. I iwb a glock 19 with a incog eclipse iwb holster. Again these pants are great!
People say these are typical shorter than normal. Any thoughts?
I have 2 pairs and absolutely love them. I wear them all the time and they've held up great.
WhiskyTangoFoxtrot33 are they a baggy fit? I would wear boots with these as well. Would you consider these "overly tactical" for every day wear?
GearNut23 no really nice and fitted..i wear them to work with a tucked in dress shirt.
GearNut23 no really nice and fitted..i wear them to work with a tucked in dress shirt.
very late response but you would recommend me go down a size if i were to buy these? I wear a 32x30 comfortably would i have to go down to a 30x30? Thanks for the helpful info
GearNut23 exactly.. i wear a 32 also but since the band is basically elastic i went down a size for a more fitted look. Even going down a size it still is super comfortable and i carry appendix with no issue as well.
do these work well with an inner/outer belt system?
How durable are these pants? I am looking for a good durable pair of pants for work. I've been looking for a nice pair of cargo pants and haven't decided on a pair yet lol
Is the sizing pretty right on or did you have to order bigger on the waist or anything?
They look like a pretty good fitting outdoor/tactical pant, I don't have a place anywhere near by to try on the different styles and fits of all the tac pants out there..the nearest Gander is over an hour away and even then they only have a couple different styles of 5.11 pants. So my only option is buying off the net and its usually a crap shoot on whether they'll fit right or too baggy. I ordered a couple different pairs off of LApolicegear.com and it looks like they're 80's parachute pants on my stubby little legs!! I learned quickly it's worth spending the extra bucks on quality items. So I definitely appreciate when I find a good pair like this and can see how well they fit. Thanks for the video & info :)
Yeah, it's tough, because even within the same company, different models will fit differently. Just try to buy them from a place with a friendly return policy! That's why I buy so much stuff off amazon - much of the time (depending on seller) there are very easy/free returns.
+Last Line Of Defense Good call, Would the Stryke pants be pretty much the best "fitted" pair? Or do you have others very similar? And with us creeping into colder weather, do you have a preferred cold weather pair that are not insulated? Thanks my good man!!
Try the Apex and Traverse 2.0, those will become your new favorite pants.
I've heard good things about the Apex. I'm gonna post a video here soon about the Vertx Delta Stretch pants which I'm actually liking a lot as well.
Can you do the Vertx phantom featherlite and Vertx Delta stretch graphite color?? Love the vids keep it up.
Please do the stryke shorts
Where do they sit on the waist? How do these wear soaking wet and how long do they take to dry?
Whats is the slimmest Tactical pants of 5.11?
I don't EDC an AR. Where do I keep pistol mags?
I bought some of these pants because of this video. I couldn't find the Ridgeline that he favors. :- / I'm happy with the Stryke pants.
Is there a tactical pants that has an admin pocket that will fit a 30-rd AR magazine?
I prefer the pants review on you instead of table top. It's difficult to see how they fit all the way the ankle when pants are on the table.Thanks for the videos.
Did these pants shrink any after washing over the time
what colour should i get? the storm one or the charcoal? those on you (storm) look pretty good hmmm
what pant would you recommend for short guys?
I'm more like a 28 or 29 waist but then I won't be able to get 28 length will 30x28 be to baggy?
I also separte my items in shirt and pant pocket. Each one serves one ourpose so I don’t accidentally pull out an item and not notice it, especially inside the jail. Our work issued pants are Propoer and hve no stretch. So even when we bend down to pick something up or sit it is tight and you have to re tey at sitting or bending. They have no give and restrict the motion you are doing. Especially sitting I do not like feeling all the items in my pockets pushing into me. How do you feel in these 511 compared to other tactical or BDU pants? Thank you for the review.
The AR-15 mag's also don't fit in those sidepockets, you can't close the pocket..look i have these pants and like em but i also want to be able to pickup something from the floor.
Hey Mike!
I was wondering if you have had problems with belt loops being in the way of the holster clips. My appendix holster has two clips and they seem to be perfectly spaced to be in the same position of my front two belt loops. It causes me to have to place the holster slightly to the left or right to make it fit but not quite in the sweet spot I want it in. I have this problem with most of my jeans. Any thoughts? Maybe a video? I actually do watch you pant reviews!
Haha, yeah some pants have different spacing in those front few loops. It's actually a *small part of the reason I like running holsters with a single middle clip - I don't have to worry about that whole belt loop clip issue...
Great review, Im a fan of Carhartts and Mt. Khakis but going to look into these. BTW Bought the Skeletool because of your review, hope you can get some funds from Leatherman.
I'll have to check em out! Hope the Leatherman is treating you well - but I doubt I will ever see a cent from Leatherman, much less a free anything from them, haha.
Are the 5.11 stryke pants baggy I dont really like baggy
Reviews on Amazon say that they wear out with each wash. How have you found the durability thru washings to be?
I don't know that the durability has been affected by washings, but I do feel like they fade through washings - similar to most jeans. I'm guessing durability eventually would be affected by washings - because I think repeated washes affect the durability of all items of clothing.
are they durable?
I have the exact same pants too.
what are your favorite pants?
