Propper Men's Lightweight Tactical Pant

I remember when I was first issued these pants for work a few years ago (a popular and prominent city in northern VA); we changed our uniforms and went with these pants and everyone I worked with (including myself) enjoyed the features and all the upgrades from the boring 'BDU' style pants we wore. Not only are these pants comfortable, but they have a lot of practical features and details. The FREE belt is a bonus, but the buckle kind of bulked out a little if you wore a duty belt with them, so I went with the velcro duty belt liner instead, but by themselves as casual wear, the belt included is just fine. They come in the usual 'law enforcement' colors, ie, black, dark navy and brown, but because of our jobs we went with the olive pants and the PROPPER tan shirts and it made for a great uniform combination. For duty wear, these are very comfortable and they held together wash after wash. I think as far as duty pants go, these were the best design for the dollar and they're very professional looking and I especially liked the straighter legs as opposed to the puffed out pockets of the BDU pants. These pants were my favorite uniform duty pants and it was a shame the day I had to turn them in when I left my job, but I definitely had to get a pair (in olive) for casual wear for hiking and camping and fishing. If you're a law enforcement official and looking to get a great pair of pants that offer a lot for your money, you can't go wrong with these. If you're looking for a comfortable pair of travel pants or casual pants for outdoorsy activities, you can't go wrong with these. They fit, feel and look great! I plan on getting some more as Summer turns to Fall.....

Like most of you, if you are reading reviews for these pants, I am always on the hunt for that perfect pair of practical (or cargo, or tactical, as you prefer) pants. I am not military or law enforcement, and I don't really want to look like a Wannabee - but I do engage in practical activities that require a good pair of practical pants. I'm a competitive shooter (mostly IDPA) and need pants that can hold and stow a lot of gear for a long day at the range. I also need them to be strong and durable, comfortable, and to allow good freedom of movement. And yeah, I will also wear them all weekend long too, or on trips around town. There are a few key brand names in the Tactical Pants business. 5.11 is one, perhaps the most popular or well known. It is difficult to discuss the attributes of a pair of Tac pants without making the obvious comparisons to 5.11. Add to that - this pant is designed VERY SIMILAR in many aspects to the 5.11 Tactical pants. Therefore, it is almost necessary to compare them side-by-side. I recently purchased my first pair of Propper pants, in Gray lightweight, 32x30. If you don't want to read all the way through - here's the cut to the chase: I like them very much and will probably buy more. Now, here's why: - Quality of finish and materials is top notch. There are no loose threads, no crooked seams, no dropped stiches. Good stuff all around. - Rip-stop material is light but incredibly strong. You will get a lot of wear from these pants before they hit the rag pile. They also feel very breathable, unlike a typical synthetic feel. This could just be because they are lightweight, but it works. - Sizing is very accurate. One important note however - the sizing is a very true sizing, not ego sizing. I have several 5.11 pants in 32 waist and they are much looser than these Propper pants are at the waist. That is good and bad... it's okay if you really do know and order your real size, but not if you rely on the "extra" that most clothing makers give these days. That said, I would like a wee little bit of relaxation to the waist. The expandable elastic waistband is a bit rough on the skin. This is in part due to the synthetic material (opposed to soft cotton), but worn snug they will leave some red marks. - The Propper pants are almost a carbon copy of the 5.11 design, but for a few key and very noteable exceptions: --- Rear pockets are not as low cut as 5.11, but run straight across at the back --- Inside the rear pockets (which are large and roomy) there is a second pocket that is "regular sized" and perfect for a wallet. This is a HUGE plus for me, because I hate my wallet rolling around inside the 5.11 pants and landing in all sorts of uncomfortable spots. The wallet stays put right where it should be in the Proppers - whether you are a right or left cheeck kinda guy... they are both there. --- The front right pocket has a watch pocket as well as a small inner sub-pocket at the bottom. Both good to have. The left has neither and is just a normal pocket. Front pockets are well cut with a good angle, allowing easy in/out access for your hand - even if you're holding something in your hand... --- Fewer belt loops on Propper than on 5.11, and differently spaced. --- Less material in the crotch area on Propper than on 5.11. If you do significant crouching activities, you may notice the difference. --- The fly is shorter on the Propper, maybe by 1/2" or more overall. This does have an ergonomic impact gentlemen (I prefer the 5.11 one). - Things that are same/similar to 5.11 Tactical Pro: --- The lower edges of the pocket stitching is reinforced for a knife or flashlight clip or similar. This should help prevent premature wear from metal clips. (front pockets only on Propper, 5.11 has it also on rears) --- Left side small cargo pocket, perfect for most cell phones, flashlight, magazine, etc. Basically identical to 5.11 --- Right appendix D-ring on belt loop --- Similar material weight and construction. Rip-stop synthetic blend. - Miscellaneous comparisons (in no particular order): -- 5.11 is overall more comfortable right off the bat, but Propper is cleaner looking and "dressier". -- Propper has much less "droopy flat butt" look than 5.11. Trade is comfort and flex versus ego and appearance. Your significant other will tell you that you look better in the Propper pants. :-) -- Propper includes a nice duty-style belt in the matching color of your pants. That's nothing to sneeze at, because even a cheap duty belt is $20 or more. The belt is great quality, but is a bit longer than it needs to be. A great added value. Overall, I don't want to give an opinion about one versus the other. I think the comparison is important, whether you're trying to decide between the two brands for a first purchase, or if you're familiar with 5.11 already. In the final analysis - I like these Propper Tactical Lightweight pants, and will order more. I have the gray - which is much darker than the photo here shows. Khaki would probably be my next choice, since summer is coming soon! Propper is about $10 less than 5.11, as of this writing. Consider the included belt, and that is a great value. I think you owe it to yourself to give them a try!

These are well made, purpose made pants, but the fit is weird in the hips. I typically wear 30x32 pants (34M, 5'10" @ 180lbs), so I ordered 32x32 for a little extra movement as an EMT. The length and fit of the legs, mid-thigh down, is perfect. Sligthtly baggy but not messy or unprofessional, and the waist band itself has a nice firm stretch to it. The construction feels and looks good, sturdy loops, etc - I don't doubt they'll hold up for a long time. HOWEVER.. these suckers are highly restrictive from waistband to mid-thigh, with no grace given to the crotch. They're hard to squat in and tight while walking around.. I do have rear cheeks, but I am by no means caked up.. 32x32 should have been more than enough to ensure a little extra mobility, but these things make me feel like Cardi B in a pair of no stretch skinny jeans.. Mid-thigh to waistband fits like a pair of Slim Fit J.Crew Chinos, without the give.. If you don't have backside, whatsoever, I'd could give these an optimistic 5 star review. I will be looking at other options with a range of motion through the hips and crotch.

If your looking for multi-purpose pants, then these are it! I wear a 33x30 size jean/dress pants and I ordered a 34x30 Propper pant and fits great, I like a little room to move in + if I want to put on underarmour I still have room, fits perfect. I can wear these to work in an office atmosphere + hiking + soccer games + gun range + dinner + mowing the yard etc. they will replace my jeans for sure, they do have elastic at the belt area, I know old man style, but the belt does cover that all up, so no harrasing at the office, these pants do have a snap button closure and reg. metal zipper, no issues with mine. Plenty of room in the gooey bag area and side cargo pockets are large enough that you could hold a M&P Shield size gun, small top cargo pocket perfect for cell phone, both hand pockets are double stitched for carrying a blade, right hand pocket has a small pocket within a pocket for change, rear pockets also have a pocket within a pocket ideal for wallet, all pockets are velcro closure which is great for quick access. Pants come with nylon tactical color match belt, great for outside holster and double magazine pouch for carrying concealed, the elastic waist is ideal if you want to tuck a holser inside pants. Knee's are double stitched which looks cool, the first day i wore them to work i had 3 guys questioning them on fit/function etc. Now all the cool guys will have a pair........I have nothing but good things to say. I looked at all the tactical style pants do to OCD on research before I buy I believe they are all very compairable - 5.11, Blackhawk etc and for the price and the first pair of this style for me I didnt want to spend more than $40 bucks to try them out, I made the wright choice. Reminder - Light weight material, repels water/snow, drys fast, ideal for spring,summer,fall but for winter buy the appropriate size so you can layer with underarmour if needed. I take a 33 comfortable waist, the 34's are great with the elastic waist line, really just a reminder.

I have searched for this type of pants in the malls and specialty stores but I was never able to find them. I wanted lots of pockets, not just randomly placed pockets based on appearance or designer types. I wanted practical usage from them. This pants fits my requirement to the T! I bought the other Propper brand canvas tactical pants and that was 5 stars as well. This one is lighter and built just as tough as its canvas brother. The front left and right pockets are deep and the hand slots angle allows for reaching in even when you are at seating positions. There is a reinforcement tape sewn into the bottom edge of the opening so you can use your clip knife and not wear away the material. The waist band has an elastic band 2 inches wide but doesn't go around the entire waist. The belt loops are positioned three across the back and two along the frontal area so not to impede access to your front pockets. It helps when you are wearing items on your belt. The back pockets are dual purpose. There is a smaller pocket inside the larger outer pocket if you want a wallet there. The larger pocket is DEEP and WIDE. It measures approx 8 inches across the opening to 10 inches deep. Each lower leg pocket has ample room to place items. They are approx 8 inches wide by 7 inches deep. The material is resistant to spills. Liquid just beads and falls off without penetrating the fabric but it breathes so its not very hot to wear. All pocket closures are with Velcro. Not that cheapo type that other cargo pants have. These are military spec. The front closure is a snap with YKK type slide fasteners, very durable. Each pants comes with a 2 inch wide nylon belt with plastic buckle. These pockets are not like BDUs. They expand from the center not from all sides of the pocket. It gives the pants a cleaner look.

So it’s hard to find pants that are durable but also inexpensive, these are just that, I’ve worn these for about 1-2 months and they are very nice. The pants do shrink when put in the dryer, but after 1 or 2 dries the will be fine, they still fit good. It’s easy to move in them, I have to do a lot of raising leg up high and climbing and I haven’t had these split or get too tight when moving. I have total mobility when moving around, they are comfy and they have good airflow. THERE ARE SO MANY POCKETS, like the back pockets are DEEP, they go down to the back of the knee, but they do have a smaller pocket in them for your wallet so very different if you’re not expecting it. I will be buying more of these

I work in a warehouse setting, so I was looking for some tactical pant that could hold up to the day in abuse. These seem to fit the bill, very durable, water resistant, comfortable, light weight, much more comfortable than the mil-spec pants I had before. I also like the d-ring in the front that's perfect for holding a badge, I.D, keys, or anything else you might need. I personally use it for my badge so that I can easily badge in and out of doors. However... I'm having a difficult time finding a pair that fits me. I purchased two pants 36/30 one in ranger green, the other in charcoal, the ranger green pants fit me perfectly, as do most 36/30 pants do, they're loose, but not too loose and they don't restrict movement. The charcoal pants, which are the exact same size by the tag, I can't even get buttoned, and they're ultra tight around the thigh, what gives Propper? I do like the pants, so what this means is I'll probably have to order three pairs of whatever color I'm trying to get, and hope that there's one out of the three 36/30 that actually fit correctly. The first pairs they sent me, one of them was tagged as the incorrect size, and I returned. These both have the same size on the tag, but clearly, one is much smaller. In summary: great pants, but man, they've got some QA problems that make it difficult for consumers to find the pair that works for them, when the same pants in different colors fit differently, or their just labeling them incorrectly at the factory. Best of luck, hopefully Propper can address this problem with their pants line soon, because it's an exercise in frustration.

I bought a pair years ago. still wear them. I didn't realize they were high waisted. Turns out I love the style, I can stoop, bend and sit without showing my butt crack. My original pair despite wearing multiple times a week have not faded much, its basically the same color. The pocket has torn a little, and that's really it. In fact they have held up so well I bought more.

Good pants.

Awesome Amazon.

Cercavo da tempo un pantalone tattico con questo materiale, resistente a macchie e acqua, pratico operativo e comodo con tante tasche.

Muy buena calidad y precio

These pants are great. I got them on sale. One thing to consider is they run 1 size small. So, if you have a 36 inch waist, go for 38. I look forward to get other colors.
