5.11 Tactical Women's Taclite EMS Pants, Regular Fit, 19 Pockets, Style 64369

So, if you've never had 5.11 pants, here's a secret: The sizing is neurotic. I have different styles of their women's tac pants in 8 all the way up to 18... and they all fit today. Typically, I have 32" waist and 44" hips and bigger thighs. I'm 5'8" and have a longer inseam. I like my pants to bunch just a little at the ankle, which the long lengths do perfectly. My waist/hips measurements go up and down through the year. In this taclight EMS pants, I have 2 pairs that are 12 long, 1 14 reg (didn't have 12 long), and this 18 long. I need baggy pants for an upcoming event that will have me in harnesses and dangling off stuff. In the past, I've done those in my 12s and found the pinching to be unbearable. I went with the 18 because I tried a 16 at the store and it felt smaller than my 14? This has happened before. I don't know if they vanity size until they have customer base, or if it's a "varies by factory" thing. The 18s are comfortably (not comically) loose all the way around, but still shapely/fit and still compliments my shape. My husband asked if I lost weight. I'll try not to read into that. This style does have hidden elastic in the band. It's excellent for curvey types or folks that want the waist flair. If you have bigger or muscular legs, these could be what you're looking for. As far as durability and use, I wear these for search and rescue. They've held up through briars, barbed wire and hecka bad weather. One pair got hung on a metal shank when I was scaling a fence. The hole was only 2" and I was left hanging cause it wasn't giving. It never frayed or spread through the last 2 years of use. Another time, I went face down and nearly got impaled through the leg (someone cut off tree saplings into 8"spikes... on purpose). The sapling went through the neoprene of my muck boot, through my sock, but hit and slid across the pant leg. That's probably a function of the tight knit or whatever, but if you saw the holes and the horrific blood filled bruise, you'd wanna say the pants saved me too. If you're wearing tac belts, rigger's belts, or gun belts, the waist band is smooth and doesn't have fat hard seams that will bind. What discomfort I had with a rigger was in my thighs from snug fabric and harnesses, which will hopefully be remedied. Pockets are all fine. I like that they don't look all poofy like fatigue pants. One thing that I LOVE about these is that the inner thighs are not fraying, pilling, or wearing. This has been a point of contention (I've had) with some other expensive tac pants that coming in black/navy. I HATE looking down and seeing those little loose threads and discoloration. I *know* no one cares, but I hate it. Also, the color of the black and blue has held up really well. **I do treat all my gear with permethrin which can discolor cheap dyes. Even still, I have to look at labels to tell which pair is the oldest or the newest. Do wash before first wear. They won't stay water repellant. I've scotch guarded a different style and it' worked really well as a cold/wet weather pant.

Ordered these a few months ago and so far so good! I went with a size 10 because I had a feeling 8 would be a bit too small. 10 fit great, just a touch loose but it worked out to my advantage. The little bit of extra room is great to have when you're working, especially when it comes to lifting. The fabric is durable, but comfortable and breathable and there's plenty of pocket room for everything from stethoscopes to penlights. Depending on your height, you may have to hem them. I did, but I'm only 5'6" so go figure. All in all, I would highly recommend these pants. Awesome work by 5.11 Tactical.

I recommend purchasing from 5.11 site, more sizing options reliably in stock. I bought these pants for EMS work. My only criticism is the sizing/fit. I wear a women's size 6-8 (28-29) and I'm 5'7", and I ended up with a size 14 Long in these pants. I recommend sizing up by at least 2-3, they just run small. I purchased several different sizes and just picked the ones that fit best. The return process was pretty easy and I got completely refunded within a week. I also recommend Long if you're over 5'6". They cover my boots and don't ride up the ankle. Other than the sizing, these pants rock! Durable, comfortable, and there are a zillion pockets and loops that come in handy when carrying extra gear. They're a little snug in the thigh region, which is fine but makes me question the design as far as female body shapes. As for critiques for 5.11, I would echo other customers' reviews regarding sizing/fit. They only go up to certain size, and thus limit options for folks with larger sizes and different shapes. I recommend checking out Reddit for discussions on larger sized EMS pants. Time for women to revolutionize the EMS clothing industry!

The cost is bogus, but the pants themselves are nice quality; you get what you pay for. Even for ordering based on my height, they are still abnormally long.These outdo my TruSpecs any day.There’s a ton of pockets and spaces for pens/shears/whatever.They do discolor after a few washes - I’d say they’re more of a black/green now. Which is kind of not my favorite.They’re pretty comfortable. When squatting, I feel like they’re still breathable and conforming without cutting off circulation.I’ll be buying more when I’m due.

I love the material ! They’re true to size, but not a lot of stretch so if you’re looking for more room I suggest getting a size bigger. Also if you’re 5’4 and up I suggest getting tall fit.

So I bought these to try and see if they would work better then the “proper” brand ones that I currently have. The suggestion I would have is give a little more coverage in the back for when women squat down our cracks don’t show. Also a little more coverage higher off the hips, not everyone is made like Barbie and likes to wear their pants off hip hugger size. I personally like a little more tummy coverage around the belly button area and these don’t even hit that. They do hug the thighs.I’m either walking around showing my crack (thankful for long shirts) or having a camel toe. I pick my battles.But they do fit nice in the legs. And they are water proof for fluids.I usually wear a size 12/14 in jean pants. I had to buy a size 16 in these. The length is a little long I’m 5ft even. So I’m good with rolling them up.
