I used to own several pairs of 5.11 pants, and one by one they all failed on me.
Now I own several pairs of Woolrich Elite, but I can't get any more because they screwed over their primary distributor.
I don't know what to think anymore :(

I own a couple pairs of the 5.11 Tactical pants and I like them very well. I also like the Wrangler cargo pants that they sell at Wal-Mart. I'm looking forward to trying a pair of the Woolrich pants as well.

Those are pretty neat.
I'm thing about just getting some black BDU's.They come in other colors,too.

Natural selection will cull out the idiots.
I really like the 5.11 tactical pants, they are comfy with lots of pockets. I don't think you could go wrong with them.

An armed society is a polite society.
I prefer Carhartt Carpenter's Pants. :D

Hey, thanks for that link! The website has a lot of items on clearance sale and being budget-minded, I'm always looking for a bargain.
BTW, I do tend to like 5.11 Tactical Pants.
I usually shop at www.LAPoliceGear.com as they have a lot of clearance sales. Here's the direct link to their closeout sale items:

While I do like the 5.11 pants, I also like to wear tactical pants everyday (they go great with my Joseph & Feiss Stain/Wrinkle Proof dress shirts from Men's Warehouse :D), and with the large number I have, $40 each can get pricey. After searching around, I found that Propper makes a very nice pair of tactical pants that are only $30 (left handers beware, they only have a spare mag pocket for a right handed shooters off hand). They are rip-stop and stain defenders and are great alternatives for the price. I get mine from www.bdu.com

I purchase my 5.11 Tactical gear from Copquest.com. I pay $39.95 per pair and USPS shipping is free on all 5.11 Tactical orders.

It's hard to beat those prices. They're temporary as they're closeouts.
I seem to were out my 5.11's to fast. Have had great luck with Propper.
I should say I'm a flight mecanic so I spend all day in solvents, oils, ect. and kneeling on sharp aluminum so I put a little bit more stess on them than normal carry. All my Proppers are as sharp as new. The DuPont stain res. works. But I like the fit of my 5.11 TDU's with the dress waist the best, seems to suport my iwb holster from wandering a bit more.
