Men's Genuine Gear Lightweight Tactical Pants

Nice pant with restrictions. The material is nice, light and durable. The side pockets are way too shallow. The side pockets are unable to handle a small pistol, one of the reasons I wanted these pants.The zipper is too short as well. They are cut pretty close so I recommend choosing you up the waist size if you do buy these. These are at best a semi-Tactical pant.

I was looking for tac pants that werent over priced like 5.11 but would still be comfortable and not overly baggy. These pants are dead on. Very functional, yet still present a "professional" image. Shipping was FAST as well. Ordered on Thursday, and received on Monday. Will for sure be buying more.

Purchased 2 pair for work. Yes they shrink. The advice to order a size up was very true. I normally wear a 32x30 and ordered 34x32. They shrank to my exact size after the first wash. These pants are the most comfortable ones I have ever purchased. Great fit, great feel, great look. Going to order 2 more pair. Thanks Tactical Gear.

Ok, had these a few months now. Thought I would do an update. I really love these pants. Shrinkage was not very much at this point and they have been washed many times. Of course, I wouldnt throw cotton in the dryer unless it was a towel due to shrinking. As long as you let them drip dry you should be ok. I didn't but the next size up like they recommend but I don't regret it. Waist has elastic which compensates for the little shrinkage that you might expect. Due to the 60% cotton part of the equation, I think fading may have already begun. If fading doesnt bother you then, I still recommend these pants. No ties on the bottom of the legs, these are strictly over the boot pants. Again these are normal jean cut kind of pants no baggie. like dickie work pants.

Fast delivery as always. Bought these with couple of other styles to experiment. These are the least baggie of the four I have purchased. Rise to the waste is slightly shorter than the others. Cargo pockets are actually two pockets. One has flap and velcro closure the other is behind the cargo pocket. Contrary to description there are only velcro closures on all pockets. Belt loops are 5/8". Zip is nylon and works very nicely. Pull strap on zipper tab. As in some of the others I bought, the zipper flap is fairly narrow. Depending on your abdomen, zipper might be exposed under certain circumstances. Take note that material is 60% cotton. Most others are 60% polyester. This will probably translate into some shrinkage. I probably should have taken the advice of the seller and bought one size up.......but time will tell. If I dont throw them in the dryer, I might be alright. Buy these if you don't like baggie pants. I would have given it 5 stars if they threw in a surprise in the pockets, and I'm don't mean a dead roach.

I have never owned tactical pants before but a buddy of mine bought some Propper tactical pants locally for $50 so I decided to give the internet a try to find some deals. Found the Propper brand at first but then upon more researching found these that are made by Propper for Genuine Gear. I ordered one size up and they seemed to shrink as said before, in the first wash and dry cycle. All in and all a great value for a good product. I will be buying more of these, I just wish they came in more colors

These pants are a really good value. They have really good pocket locations and size. They do shrink just like the warning says, one size up was perfect. Sturdy and lightweight. Will order again.

Although the pants have worn well for the last 6 months, I have an issue about the knife pocket and the clip location for the right side pocket. Getting in and out of the vehicle with a knife clipped in has caused scratches on the steering wheels of several patrol units. Would be nice if they changed that setup to the left side pocket.

I have been wearing these for approximately 6 months now. They are great! Much more comfortable than more expensive pants my employer purchased. The lightweight makes them much easier to maneuver in (not stiff) and are great for summer use. The extra open cargo pockets on the thigh have proved to be very handy to me, however, they may not suit everyone's need. They are slightly undersized, so take that in mind when ordering. Shipping is fast.

great pants for the price. they do shrink a size from washing them so i did order them 1 size larger then what i normally wear. i got mine for 29.99 each i wouldn't pay more then 35 for them cause then i would go with 5.11's you can find for 39.99. the pocket set-up works out great for me total of 4 cargo pockets,(one behind the Velcro cargo is a nice touch) cell pocket on left front fits droid with hard case,(my 5.11's i would have to take the case off and my droid still be on the tight side) rear pockets with flap and Velcro, and deep front pockets with a coin pocket on right side. only thing that would make this a 5 star product would be a gusted crotch like the 5.11's have, but for the price point it's a great pant for the price. i would definitely recommend and buy more for 30-35 dollars.

For my purposes these pants are the best bargain I can find. I have worn them many times. I find them comfortable and durable. As I said I am coming back for more

This is a follow-up post from my original in May. I've now worn these pants more than a dozen times now and I like them more every time. No quality issues noted and other than the original small size (I suggest ordering 1 size larger), they've very well maintained their fit and appearance. A great purchase.

well, after trying different brands and styles regardless of price, I have concluded the these pants are worth the money,overall I'm satisfied with their performance and price,just a note of advice order them one size bigger specially the inseam.

No complaints with these pants, as far as I am concerned. Given the thinness of the material, they are quite durable. The lightweight material makes them quite comfortable out in the Texas summer heat. The phone pocket is a good fit for my iPhone 3G with Otter box. I've ordered these pants twice now, in several colors.

GREAT FOR HOT DAYS DOING SECURITY!!!

Great fit, light weight, well made. Exactly what I wanted.

Bought 5 pairs. Good price poor quality. Should of known. They fit small especially in the crotch, the front of trouser (zipper) seems too short. After 2 uses on pistol range I tore open stash pocket. 1 use in mat room also tore pocket. This trouser is more show than go. Not a ding on tacticalpants.com no issues with order or service

My department issued me pants that were really weirdly cut and seemed to only fit a non-human; too baggy and very uncomfortable. I decided to buy my own and these pants from BDU fit great! They feel great and I love all the pockets. They look nice enough to wear as your uniform but comfortable enough to wear everyday. You absolutely can't beat the price and I plan to by more so I can wear them casually as a civilian too.

I ordered 2 pair of these pants, and have had an opportunity to run them through the paces. When I ordered them, my initial concern was the quality. I am happy with the quality of these pants. They are lightweight, with adequate stitching throughout the pant. Pockets are nice and sized right. I do like the open pocket behind the thigh pockets. Upper pocket on left leg will easily fit a iPhone 4 with an Otterbox case. Fabric is of good quality. Overall I am very happy with the materials and build quality of this pant. Where I do have an issue is the design. I had read all the reviews and knew to order a size bigger. I did, and the pants do fit, kind of. I think they are too short waisted. If I wear them on my natural waist, I get a bad "wedgie". When I try to wear them down were it is fairly comfortable in the crotch, I feel like they sit about 2" too low on the waist. Even though I ordered longer than I typically need, they are none too long. My suggestion would be to lengthen the legs by about an inch and give more room in the seat and raise the waist. You had better wear a long tail shirt with this pant. I don't think it is my build because other tactical pants (5.11) don't do this. I may try the Propper to see if they are the same.

I bought 3 pairs of Men's Genuine Gear Lightweight Tactical Pants. While I didn't expect the same level of quality as in the regular Tactical pants, I have been disappointed by how much they have shrunk over 3 washings. The legs are about 1-1/2 inch shorter, and the waist is very tight now. They were washed in only cold water and perm press dryer settings.

I've tried virtually all the available "tactical" style pants out there, minus the very high end stuff. I had hoped that the fit on these would be consistent with Propper, but these are decidely tighter in the waist and crotch area when sized the same. I can easily wear my IWB holster and 1911 without difficulty in 38" waist Proppers, no chance with these! In addition, I've found 5.11, Blackhawk, and TruSpec to all be more consistent size wise with the Propper sizes than these are. However, these and Vertx are very close in size and fit. That's not a big deal when it comes to quality, though, you simply need to order up in size. They are very well made, especially for the price. In fact, I would rate them very close quality wise to any of the big name brand pants which cost twice the price.

A friend and I decided to give the Genuine Gear lightweight tactical pants a shot. I figured they can't be any worse then standard imported BDU pants and at $19.99 would still be worth it if they turned out to be crap. About the only issue I have is the lack of color choices and that the belt loops are too small. Other then that I like the fabric and the stitching is well done with bar tacks in the stress points. I would purchase again, but I will be getting black and OD since I prefer coyote brown over khaki. Lots of bang for the buck here!!!

I'm a tall skinny guy and it's hard to find pants long enough. I purchased 32/36's and they go all the way to the floor. They definitely run a little tight on the waist (normally I need a belt with 32's), but do have an elastic waistband at the sides. These tactical pants have 10 pockets in total making them almost a backpack that you wear on your legs! The knees are reinforced which is very handy. The material seems similar to what tents are made out of--likely to last a long while with normal wear and tear--but still comfortable enough to work out or hike in. I think these may be my new favorite pair of pants, especially for the price.

I purchased 3 pairs of these and they came in today. I read the reviews stating to get a size bigger since they tend to run small so I did. Perfect fit, looks good and lightweight that will keep me cool in the summer.

Just bought two pair of these 2 weeks ago. I love these pants. Very comfortable. And I really like the pocket layout.

I wasn't sure what to expect at this price, but the pants are very nice, so 5+ stars considering the great price. Lightweight and material appears cool, pockets are just right and don't flare out like some other styles, so it's a nice clean look. I agree with other's reviews: the size on these run a little small. I typically wear 34x30, so after seeing other reviews I ordered a 36x30. The waist fits good, but the length was short as well, so sending back and already ordered the 36x32. Customer service was great on the return process.

Just got my pants, they look just like the 5.11 pants but they are a cheaper price. Just make sure u get them in one size bigger because they run small.

Due to the HIGH PRICE of 5.11 I went to to look for something else. GENUINE GEAR PANTS feel great and function. Have to get one size up for a better lose fit. And also have two PROPPER shorts. To me it's a better price and fit. No difference then 5.11.

I upgraded my rating; 5 is appropriate given the price. These aren't Filson tin pants but they don't cost that much either. They will never be clean again but they are still all in one piece. I'm pretty impressed so far especially with them not having any rips or even frayed parts (except the hems look a little rough). I need a couple of additional pairs. I got khaki; maybe a darker color will be better. They even survived me rocketing down a steep slope on my backside. I stepped on a dirt step on the downhill side of a large douglas fir tree; the dirt step disintegrated and I shot down 15' or so. The $20 price is right given the abuse my pants get.

I just received them. The 3 rating is not meant to be bad; I just haven't had a chance to fully evaluate them yet. Frankly 3 is what you expect given the price. I am a land surveyor that works in a rough, forest environment. I don't like regular blue jeans very much but they handle the brush tearing well naturally. Since these tactical pants are only $20 I decided to order a pair to give them a shot. I like the fit and they are not stiff like blue jeans. I also like having decent, covered pockets (it's amazing how much leaves and dirt get into open pockets). I can move some of the stuff from my Filson cruiser vest to the pants which will help my center of gravity. Next week I will see if they can stand up to the environment I work in. If I think they will stand up to the tearing of limbs and me inadvertently sliding down steep slopes then I will order 4 more pairs.
