5.11 Tactical Men's Stryke Military Cargo Work Pant with Flex-Tac, Style 74369

I could not wait to sit down and write this review.Let me first tell you a bit about myself: I am very familiar with tactical pants. For years, I have been wearing BDU pants from Propper. They have become a necessity in my warehouse workplace environment where I am constantly bending my body in different positions as well as working around moving equipment as well as changing outdoor environments. In short, my needs in BDU wear are to provide me with comfort and flexibility.Propper pants are great, no doubt. The several pairs I have owned have lasted me for 5 years and they are still going strong, but just beginning to fray at integral seams. I thought it was high time that I buy 5 new pairs of BDU type pants to last me an entire work week.I began looking at Propper pants on Amazon. However, my eyes caught reviews for 5.11 pants. They were consistently much higher than Propper pants. As I began pouring through reviews on the 5.11 brand, I began seeing statements that the STRYKE pants were much more favorable than the standard PRO pants.Here's the initial issue I faced. These pants cost nearly $75 a pair. That's insane! I am used to buying tactical/BDU pants at about $35 a pair. As I continued reading more reviews from those who bought the Tactical Stryke pants, I realized that perhaps spending $75 might not be a bad idea. I went ahead and blindly bought 5 pairs of these pants in various colors. I figured if I did not like them, I could return them to Amazon.Upon arrival, I slipped on my first pair of 32/30 pants. I was floored! These are tactical pants?! They seemed like dress pants. The material was so soft. The appearance was slim and refined (rather than baggy), and it even had hints of pinstripes in the fabric. I mean, I could put on a nice shirt and go out to dinner in these pants.I was just dumbfounded by the fact that these were actually tactical pants. Yet, I could tell that this was indeed ripstop fabric. It had pockets all over the place. It was flexible and roomy enough that as I bent down, I never felt a bit of tightness in the fabric. Yet, the pants hug my body. They look absolutely amazing on me.Here's one more thing....I am a short guy. I wear a 29-inch inseam. Anyone with my inseam knows that no pants come tailored for us. I figured I would have to have these pants tailored, which would have been quite expensive given the fact I bought five. I was very happy to find that the length came in a little short so that I was able to just get by with the 30-inch inseam. This is something that several Amazon reviews do point out.Having just washed these pants for the first time, I was quite pleased that they held their form after a toss in the dryer. These do quick-dry and I would not recommend drying them for more than 30 minutes in the dryer.Folks, I am here to tell you that these are the most amazing pair of pants I have ever owned. I can wear them to the warehouse. I can wear them out to dinner. How many pants can you think of that can serve you for heavy work and relaxing dining? I suppose pants that cost $75 a pair can.Definitely worth the price. I will never buy another brand again. I am sold on 5.11!

A bit loose in the legs but good fit overall. Comfortable streach waist. Very well designed and made.

I have 7 pairs of the 511 tactical Stryke’s, all different colors. 1 for everyday of the week.Honestly they are the best pants I’ve ever worn. The build quality is second to none. Seems like they have the world’s strongest Velcro too! I have older pairs and the Velcro on the pockets is still good as new.Pros:-Great fit. The size is exactly as advertised. I am kinda sketchy with online clothes shopping but 511 hit the mark. The gusseted crotch really helps.-Durable and tough construction. I’m a forester and I haven’t ripped a pair yet.-Coolness factor is pretty high. I get asked all the time where I get my pants.-Color. They have a lot of color options to choose from depending on what you like.-Pockets for days.-Rip stop works great and they hold up to heavy briar patches. Not puncture proof but they don’t tear.Con’s:-Stiffness. When they are new it’s like wearing slick canvas, kinda like old school Ben Davi$. I wash mine a few times before I use them.-High water. The legs ride kind of high for some people. I like the higher fit as I’m in the woods and wear logger boots anyway.

Durable and Functional Tactical Pants!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐The 5.11 Tactical Men's Stryke Operator Uniform Pants are outstanding for anyone needing reliable and durable tactical wear! The Flex-Tac mechanical stretch fabric provides excellent mobility and comfort, making them perfect for both work and outdoor activities.I love the number of pockets available—there's plenty of space for carrying tools and gear securely. The fit is fantastic, allowing for easy movement without being restrictive. Plus, the material is tough and holds up well against wear and tear.Overall, I highly recommend these pants for anyone looking for a practical and high-quality option in tactical apparel!

My first time for these 5.11 pants. I normally wear a 34x32, so I bought a 34x32, and it fit exactly as expected. As I am a little older, the stretch waist is perhaps this pants best feature. Sitting down, the waist gives just the right amount to still be comfortable, without falling down when standing up. They are exactly what I have come to expect in a cargo pant. Not any more or less baggy or tight. I prefer my cargos a little on the looser side because I use them for what they are designed for. Keeping quite a bit of stuff in the pockets. I have two peeves I wish were different. First, there is no key ring clip loop and the belt loops are not conducive to clipping a typical key ring/clip. That's a pretty big drawback for me because I carry a pretty big set of keys. Second, the supposed cell phone pocket in the front is completely useless for anything. Its way too small for any cell phone these days. I tried using it for my pocket knife, but the pocket is poorly located sort of high front so pretty much anything you try to put in there is going to poke in your stomach when you sit down. And they are too small to reach into to get change or money or whatever. Not sure how those silly pockets got by any experienced designer. I've only washed them a half dozen times or so, but so far I don't see any abnormal color fading, or maybe no fading yet. But all pants fade after they are washed enough times, so not sure what some other reviewers were complaining about. I would highly recommend these pants for comfortable active, duty, work pants. Oh, and they look pretty sharp also. The one pair I got are black. I intend to get some more in other colors and will wear them day to day.
