I have a pair but they don't have any here in my size or I would be buying a few more

 

Damn! That is a good price! But these type of pants usually make me look like I'm wearing a moderately sized tent.

 

 

I have a pair of 5.11's (and I bought the EMT pocket pack things too).. haven't worn them in a long time.

 

Much more comfortable to keep all that crap off your legs.

Just bought two pairs.... Great price, and even though they have supposed stitch problems here and there, I couldn't find a single stitch out of place on either pair.

 

Bump in case anyone else is interested. :clap:

ProA - are these cut 'regular' or is the cut more 'relaxed' ??

I just bought two. I figure it's good to hold shotgun shells. For $40 bucks, what's the worst that could happen? Straight to the trash? heh. I did get them a size up.

Obviously, I could waste $40. :doh:

I'd say relaxed, because I ordered the size I wear for casual clothing, and it fits the same. In the past I ordered a pair from a different company and I forever referred to them as "nut huggers" , so compared to those, these are cut relaxed in my book!!

Dude, I'm sending the bill for the new flat screen directly to you. I spit my apple into a thousand little pieces all over the monitor after that nuthugger crack...

LAPG is Evil...they've taken a ton of my money the past couple of months LOL

Can someone who has bought these and worn them tell me if the waist size runs more or less true to size?

Caine - that's kinda what I asked above.

Kind of - to me relaxed generally means the thigh area is a little loose. I'm more concerned with the waist area specifically. But yeah, I suppose if the legs are cut a little loose, then it would probably be a safe assumption that the waist is at least where it should be and not tight. Guess I'll take my chances and hope for the best

The size I wear for jeans, slacks, and cargo's is the size I ordered and they fit well. They are also adjustable via 2 velcro straps on the waist line. That should give you an inch or two of play.

Perfect - that's exactly the answer I was looking for. Thanks PA

I got the notice that they shipped. Due to arrive on 10-27. I'll post my results.

Waist size is accurate but probably a touch small. It fits but is slightly tight. Go for a size up and wear a belt.

Too late - mine are coming tomorrow.. But for 12 bux it is what it is. So even if I gotta suck my gut in a little to get into them, i could always use them for yard work or something.

Got mine today. Bought 2 pair. One is Sierra (brown) and one in Coyote (darker khaki?).

The Sierra ones are a little tight in the waist, but I feel like one size bigger would be too big. They are not in any way uncomfortably tight. I found the length to be just a hair longer than expected. I also found the legs to taper a bit towards the bottom, and wasn't thrilled about that. When I put boots on, the opening is very snug around the boots, and as a results, the pants bunch up more that I prefer.

The Coyote ones were actually tighter than the Sierra ones. Not significantly, but it was a noticeable difference. I also found them a little tighter around the thighs, and not surprisingly, the taper on the leg also seemed more noticeable.

 

Whatever sewing issues they supposedly have aren't very noticeable. Yes, the stitches are a little sloppy, but nothing major. Will this play a roll in how well the hold up? Who knows.

 

Overall, for the price I paid ($11.99 instead of 14 or 16 or whatever they charge for the FUBAR), they're not bad. You get what you pay for, and maybe just a little bit more depending on your fault tolerance and body type

Just sew a patch of cloth with your own heavy duty stitching on the crotch portion. That should do the trick for the durability. The Army had a huge issue with everyone's ACU pants ripping at the crotch when they were first issued (downrange of all places). Its been fixed since, but I remember having to rip chunks out of my DCUs and hand-stitching it onto the pants (on the inside) so I wouldn't walk around like the other winners with a cool breeze. Wasn't a professional job by any means, but I wasn't going to win hearts and minds with my style.
