Botach has a sale on these right now... 2 for $60...FREE SHIPPING and NO SALES TAX! I just ordered a pair of coyote tan one's. I don't know how long the sale lasts, but if I can I'll probably order another pair at a later date.
The reasoning for velcro on only one side of the pocket, is for ease of access. I personally have pairs of pants that I love, EXCEPT for the fact that the pockets have velcro right across, or on both sides. I find it very annoying.
@CompTechMike You can get them 34x37, but that 37 is unhemmed; so you'd have to hem them yourself. They're $45 at MidwayUsa. It's strange, you pay more for the unhemmed pants. And the pants were $36 a month ago when I bought.
I love these pants and wear them every day. Only problem is, I'm fairly tall (6'3") & skinny, wear 34x34 pants but they always come untucked from my boots. I've heard that they make them in 34x36, but can't for the life of me find them. I've hunted high & low at surplus stores, online retailers, amazon, even contacted the manufacturer (who directed me to places where they were out of stock). For the love of God, why is it so hard to find a good pair of pants in my size? :( :( :(
I love these pants and would bet my life on the things. I took them with me to the Amazon and they did fantastic.Dried out nice, never tore, and cleaned very well. I would prefer snap buttons over velcro which is a personal preference.
I like how they look nice enough to get away with that and a polo/button shirt for casual formal.
They were a bit small in the quadriceps so I had to go 2 sizes up, but i have large quads.
AWESOME review but i was wondering if these pants fit over boots well? I would like to get a few pair of these for work (construction) but i would also like to use it camping, hunting, etc. Do you think these pants would hold up? Any responses would be helpful
I recently bought the Tru-Spec 24-7 khaki 100% cotton at Natchez for $28.00 (old price no interior organizer), I have 2 pair of the cotton, LOVE THEM (so much classier than jeans) The cotton is no problem . All the pockets lay FLAT unless you have the 4 M-4 mags in place. pockets are great for mags, knives, comms.I also have 3 the rip-stop cotton poly in Coyote . I love the elatic waist band. I have a 39" waist and buy the 36" pant, still lots of flex when I bend over (to PU dropped mags!)

If you want the Taclite pro pants, but don't want to pay $55 on 5.11's website. Go to ombexpress(DOT)com. They have them online for only $40 ($39.99). They have great prices on other things as well (knives, jackets, polos, even guns, etc.) from a lot of different manufacturers like Blackhawk and 5.11.
I think those extra pockets you got with the pants that you deemed useless must have been a limited time offer because I got mine a year or two ago and never got those pocket organizers or whatever they were. But I agree. I bought these pants for the price. I compared it to the 5.11 Taclite pants and saw these were a better price. I was wondering though. How is the velcro holding up on the 5.11 pants?
on pretty much anything. I will see something that I want and think "I bet Nutn has a review of that!" and sure enough you do! I love how detailed all your reviews are. I like how in depth you go into all the gear you review. I think I am going to go back tonight and pick up another pair in fact. Next on my list is a Tac Vest. Wich you have multiple reviews on. I'm not sure if I should get a tac. vest or a plate carrier?? What do you prefer? Any opinions from the other TNPers on here??
I bought some 5.11 Tactical pants yesterday on sale for $14! I totally love them.
The 5.11's do have the same type of elastic/adjustable waste system as well.
Wich I was kind of worried about as I have a small waist. 31 to be exact.
This is my first pair of Cargo/Tac. pants and I totally love them. Super comfortable and I plan on taking them out to the west desert and running them through the paces. Anyway I just wanted to say thanks for the pant reviews! I love being able to hear your review
Hey nutn!! I purchased these pants about a week ago and I took em out backpacking for a few days to try them out. On the hike to the campsite it pretty much rained none stop and the pants performed real well in the rain as only my knees got a bit wet. Once I reached the campsite it luckily stopped raining and by the time I had set everything up they were completely dry. These pants totally exceeded my expectations and I thank you for this helpful review which led me to them. Peace out dude!!!!!
Just so you know the organizer pocket, velcros in and opens with the pocket flap, not sure if you knew that. I see your point with it though and I don't use mine as well, love the pants too, also have 5.11 and Blackhawk as well. Do you have a review on Blackhawk pants?
It would be pretty cool if you codified these systems into sets of concrete product lists and partnered with some online store to sell them together. Let people choose a system, customize it, order it. If you want a level 1 first aid kit.. boom, done. It comes in the mail just as you described, with your own customizations. Or just a new EDC system. Say three pairs of pants, belt, edc knife, tactical knife, first aid, multitool. That would be a good gift right there.
just got a pair of the 24/7 shorts in tan. loving them so far. they are a bit stiff at first, but after a few washes and wearing them a bit they loosen up. def going to grab a couple more pairs.
I really like my 24/7 pants: they are durable, have lots of features, and the material lends itself well to maintaining a professional appearance by keeping a good natural front/back crease after many washings. My only complaint really would be that they appear a bit too tactical at times, and I don't wear them when I don't want to look like Tactical Joe, tooling around the mall. Otherwise, for outdoors and training/tactical situations, they are fantastic, IMO.
Started out by buying the shorts version of these pants. Loved em so much i got a few pairs of the pants as well. Been wearing them hard for over a year now and LOVE them. And for the price, i'll take these over the 5.11 tac-lite's any day.
We wear the 24/7 pants on duty at our firehouse... Very comfortable! I second pretty much every sentiment... Although we cant carry on duty... They do the job. My Kershaw blade in one knife pocket, and a Bic Steel ball point in the other... Chicka chicha YEAH!! Love the vids, keep em coming!!
You should check out the swedish brand Fjällräven(arctic fox). Their pants are the best you can find I think, I have three pairs for different temperatures and I got them from a 75 year old man when he passed away, these clothes NEVER get old and destroyed, they just go through generations....
One of the few smiling pictures of Nutn! For some reason this one stuck out because it was a real big smile. I picked up some 5.11 Tac pants when they were on clearance but they seemed to run a little big, but I have a very small frame. With the stretching waist, maybe I can get a better cut with a smaller size in the Tru Specs. Thanks for posting!
Dude, dude, dude... pants too, really? Is there no end to what you can show us? Amazing! I like cotton when I know I can keep them dry but I'll ditch them if conditions are continually wet or hot. A good snug fitting pair of cotton pants will ride firm with loaded pockets but remain comfy as they stretch - no momentum problems as with loaded, loose fitting synthetics. Love lots of pockets... options - right? Love multiple pockets in my shirts also and the same rules apply as far as materials go.
Have you encountered any good "tactical" style short pants? Something like this but cut off at the knees and maybe a bit wider in the leg. I happen to wear shorts in the summer.
@rewtuser i work at Commando Miltary Supply just off post at Ft. Benning. we sell the 24/7 series pants, and the shorts version as well. It's pretty much the same as in the video, but in shorts form.
@brownee101 Dude, I love that store!! I visited Georgia a few months ago and shamefully spent about three days there just looking at all the stuff. Ended up buying three pair of the 24-7 pants. Love'em!! I work in LE and wear them everyday. Commando's beats Ranger Joes hands down IMO.
@chuckv5150 I've actually heard that a lot. Theres nothing wrong with spending that much time in there. I actually go in there on my off days because i love it so much there.
@MLoges86 Oh fooey! I think that is part of the video itself and can't be changed without taking the whole thing down. Thanks for the head's up, ML! -- Veri
before i ripped them on a call, i used these as ems pants. so much more comfortable. i kept my motorola minitor 2 pager in the cell phone pocket as the belt clip for the pager was broken(only one left in our service and i didnt want to part with it). i keep all my shears, flashlights and gloves inside where they cant get caught on anything. great pants. good vid dude. keep up the great work. god bless.
Nutn..... I mentioned your video to the Tru-Spec guys when I saw them St the NRA convention today. The guy I spoke to hadn't heard of you, but was really interested.
Hey Nutn, another decent pant is LA Police Gear's Tactical Operator pant. They've got great coloration, dual 5.11 style knife pockets, dual cargo pockets with "mag carrier" utility / mag leg pockets (acu style) gusseted crotch, and semi-reinforced pockets in the knife clip position. I've been wearing them for 4 months now and am pretty pleased. material wise they've held up far better than I expected. I have had only one problem, one of my pairs the zipper busted right in half. but hey only $20
Great review. I really like that you are not afraid to show your utensils. I only carry a folding spoon. One day I'd like to be able to proudly carry a fork and knife too. I'm just not ready to take that step yet. BTW: I have a couple ot these pants... Love 'em.
I have worn the TruSpec BDUs for almost 2 years now. I like the khaki, black and OD green colors. They have held up well. The side tabs do have an issue to holding fast, so I just wear a good belt with them...awesome value...will have to try the 24/7s
Nice review Nutn. Some folks have a hit or miss opinion, but I've had good experience also with the LA Police Gear pants. One thing often overlooked on pants is the number of belt loops. If you're carrying a larger gun (in my case a G19) having 7 belt loops instead of 5 for example, gives the belt more area to bear on and makes the gun actually carry more comfortably. However, these have those nice wide belt loops so that is a plus for sure.
Levi's 514, my choice of tac pants. I could never wear pants like these everyday. I manage to get by with a maratac AAA light, Leatherman Juice, Cold Steel Voyager L, a pen, lighter, keys, chapstick, mints, and a Kel Tec pf9. Works for me.
I've been wearing the 5.11 tac-lites since 5.11 brought them out. I've been very happy with them, they wear incredibly well and very comfortable in hot weather. I use the cell phone pocket for a mid sized flashlight and right knife pkt for a griptilian, a .380(wallet holster) in the right back and wallet in the left back pocket. Small notebook in the cargo pocket, cell on belt. I'm disappointed when I try anything else BUT these might work, they look promising, I might have to give them a try.
Thanks for the great review. I do have two sets of BDU's from TruSpec in Tiger Stripe and Multi Cam and I love the quality of 'em. Will try out the 24/7 Pants ASAP. Keep it tight as always nutn!
Mean, been looking for a review of these as I just ordered 4 pairs from Australia(Can't find any retailers in NZ). Good to know they have plenty of pockets!
Will a Spyderco Tenacious fit in the Knife Pocket? I sure hope so, a response would be great though!
Mean! I just ordered 4 pairs of these and was hoping they had plenty of pockets! Hard getting a hold of them down here in NZ though, having to get them shipped from Australia!
Been wearing these for about a year now and I have the zip off at the knees pair. I personally love em! Great fit. The waistband rocks. I bought mine for $30 at an Army Navy Store in my hometown. Thanks for the review!
I'm trying to figure out a better system for work. I'm into alot of underground pipe jobs that are wet. Would you say these pants dry considerably faster then pure denim or 100% cotton canvas? Stuck on carpenter pants because it holds my daily load out of stickruler and markers :) but think these could work.
@1shooterm If these are anything like the 5.11 tac-lite's with the poly-cotton blend then us very much so. My experience with this pants is that they dry out in 15 minutes while I'm wearing them. If you don't get really wet the water kind of rolls off at first before it starts absorbing. I usually don't get wet above the knees but I've taken a hose and sprayed mud off of mine from the knees down and they are completely dry in 10-15 mintues. Much better then denim in that respect.
@dphitch another big bonus is there not all that expensive compared to current store prices on dickies or carharts I buy. Hehe I'm waiting on nutnfancys tactical bib overall reviews.
heavy cotton's only real advantage is that it will not melt on you and not flame up as fast as regular poly/nylon.. so it is poor man's version of raylon/nomex if you will.
I think I saw these and the 5.11's at Cabela's today. Thought seriously about picking up the Tac-lite's, but I'll give these ones a closer look next time instead. Great review. Thanks very much for the rec.
Been wearing the Tru-Spec 24/7 Tac for about 18 months as an EMS Medic and Swat team Medic. I love them. I use the inside knee pads when on ambulance as I'm getting old, and regular external knee pads on the swat team. I carry Benchmade Rift or Griptilian in right knife pocket and a Fenix LD20 in the left knife pocket. Cell phone worn on belt and carry spare nitrile gloves in the small pockets on top of the cargo pockets. I wish there were more belt loops. So far they are great pants!
@luke812 That's the orange tube tent I set up and tried out in Snow Cruise videos. It pretty much sucks but beats nothing! If you construct some wind breaks out of pine bows for the ends it's doable. But when energy is low and time is short it could save your life. Hey I need to review the say too!
@nutnfancy Keep doing what you do brother. THANKS !! Im heading to a VA gunshow today to check out machetes..Looking into Cold Steel options. I need to expose the raspberry vines around the property and lost last ones working the blueberries bushes ..somewhere. : 0 Have a great day!. Luke
My mind struggles with this pant review...featuring video that I think Nutn reviewed a saw and that orange shelter....God my mind is reeling...Im wondering what else is being reviewed? Next - Nutnfancy Tactical Font -ARIAL
Great review. Looks like a very solid pair of pants but I think for me, the 5.11 ones are preferable due to the little bit different pocket configuration, though I probably would like both almost equal.
The 5.11 TacLite Pro increase is a bummer. It looks like you can get it for $45 (like USCAV with TNP discount) but like you said the 24/7 pants are a little less than that and for what is a very comparable pant, you might want the 24/7.
@duragezic Great comment, thank you. Yes I still wear almost daily the 5.11 TacLite Pros and I too prefer that pocket configuration. These are a close second however and more cost effective; at least now! Tru-Spec makes some very squared away clothing. More to follow ;-)
i had a pair of these, and the seams split, and i fixed that. but then when i spread my legs a bit because my foot slipped. it split the crotch in the middle of the panel on the right side. I was very unimpressed...
bud these pants rock, I have 4 pairs for , i have no problem with these ,,, i where them every day. Do security work ,,, so all i carry needs to be hidden. love them, i do have to get down some times. they hold up. Good job on your reviews bro.. man part funny..
I am a boy scout and i want to get a good poket knife for busuh crafting/survival. What do you think is a good choice. And i like sog and benchmade if that makesba difrentce. :) and i am interested in the sog aegish is that a good bushcraft/survival. Thanks
@Levisnowbarger in my boy scout years i used a Cold steel recon 1 Tanto Worked good for me I Have used it in Northern Tier and Philmont and I use it every camp out with my Venturing Crew Iv had it Since they came out with the 1st version of it And i have the new one with triad lock I really like it The SOG Aegis Is more of a defensive blade in my mind and benchmade for bush-craft would not be recommended you can do it but i wouldn't want to
@Levisnowbarger Hey bro, I'm an Eagle Scout out of troop 34 in Illinois. I've gone through a lot of knives and after I got my first SOG I never looked back. The Aegis is a very good knife and I believe nutn has a review on it. My personal favorite is the Trident. I use it for everything from camping / survival to every day carry and I love it. I prefer a partially serrated blade for camping but that's your call - just get it from a sog dealer, you'll save a lot over sog's prices.
@Levisnowbarger instead of going strait to sog's website google 'sog knives' and you'll find a number of companies who sell sog products. You may have to search a few to find the particular knife your looking for but you can typically get them 30 - 40% below SOG's list price.
Love the 24/7 pants! Used as my duty pants... only 1 problem though, the velcro on the pockets start to come unsown after being worn and washed for a few weeks.
One thing I feel you might mention in future pant reviews is the belt loop positioned over your spine. In Snickers brand work pants this loop is very long and aids greatly in keeping the belt from riding up over the waist band. I look for this feature in my everyday wear pants. Something to consider, love the vids. Keep up the great work, thanks.
Hey Nutn , just a quick observation when it comes to the cellphone pocket . I think that the idea was that a lot of people carry their phones with vibration only (as in no sound) , so if you have the pocket lower then all the crap that you carry around in the other pockets will not interfere with the feel of the vibration . If you have the pocket up high by the regular side pocket then all that junk that you carry will prevent you from feeling the vibration and will make you miss the call :)

Started out by buying the shorts version of these pants. Loved em so much i got a few pairs of the pants as well. Been wearing them hard for over a year now and LOVE them. And for the price, i'll take these over the 5.11 tac-lite's any day.

You should check out the swedish brand Fjällräven(arctic fox). Their pants are the best you can find I think, I have three pairs for different temperatures and I got them from a 75 year old man when he passed away, these clothes NEVER get old and destroyed, they just go through generations....

One of the few smiling pictures of Nutn! For some reason this one stuck out because it was a real big smile. I picked up some 5.11 Tac pants when they were on clearance but they seemed to run a little big, but I have a very small frame. With the stretching waist, maybe I can get a better cut with a smaller size in the Tru Specs. Thanks for posting!

Dude, dude, dude... pants too, really? Is there no end to what you can show us? Amazing! I like cotton when I know I can keep them dry but I'll ditch them if conditions are continually wet or hot. A good snug fitting pair of cotton pants will ride firm with loaded pockets but remain comfy as they stretch - no momentum problems as with loaded, loose fitting synthetics. Love lots of pockets... options - right? Love multiple pockets in my shirts also and the same rules apply as far as materials go.

Hey Nutn, another decent pant is LA Police Gear's Tactical Operator pant. They've got great coloration, dual 5.11 style knife pockets, dual cargo pockets with "mag carrier" utility / mag leg pockets (acu style) gusseted crotch, and semi-reinforced pockets in the knife clip position. I've been wearing them for 4 months now and am pretty pleased. material wise they've held up far better than I expected. I have had only one problem, one of my pairs the zipper busted right in half. but hey only $20

drumgodtim 10 months ago
Nice review Nutn. Some folks have a hit or miss opinion, but I've had good experience also with the LA Police Gear pants. One thing often overlooked on pants is the number of belt loops. If you're carrying a larger gun (in my case a G19) having 7 belt loops instead of 5 for example, gives the belt more area to bear on and makes the gun actually carry more comfortably. However, these have those nice wide belt loops so that is a plus for sure.

I've been wearing the 5.11 tac-lites since 5.11 brought them out. I've been very happy with them, they wear incredibly well and very comfortable in hot weather. I use the cell phone pocket for a mid sized flashlight and right knife pkt for a griptilian, a .380(wallet holster) in the right back and wallet in the left back pocket. Small notebook in the cargo pocket, cell on belt. I'm disappointed when I try anything else BUT these might work, they look promising, I might have to give them a try.

TheOutdoordude 10 months ago
I'm trying to figure out a better system for work. I'm into alot of underground pipe jobs that are wet. Would you say these pants dry considerably faster then pure denim or 100% cotton canvas? Stuck on carpenter pants because it holds my daily load out of stickruler and markers :) but think these could work.
1shooterm 10 months ago
@1shooterm If these are anything like the 5.11 tac-lite's with the poly-cotton blend then us very much so. My experience with this pants is that they dry out in 15 minutes while I'm wearing them. If you don't get really wet the water kind of rolls off at first before it starts absorbing. I usually don't get wet above the knees but I've taken a hose and sprayed mud off of mine from the knees down and they are completely dry in 10-15 mintues. Much better then denim in that respect.

I carry Benchmade Rift or Griptilian in right knife pocket and a Fenix LD20 in the left knife pocket. Cell phone worn on belt and carry spare nitrile gloves in the small pockets on top of the cargo pockets. I wish there were more belt loops. So far they are great pants!

luke812 10 months ago
Great review. Looks like a very solid pair of pants but I think for me, the 5.11 ones are preferable due to the little bit different pocket configuration, though I probably would like both almost equal.
The 5.11 TacLite Pro increase is a bummer. It looks like you can get it for $45 (like USCAV with TNP discount) but like you said the 24/7 pants are a little less than that and for what is a very comparable pant, you might want the 24/7.
duragezic 10 months ago
@duragezic Great comment, thank you. Yes I still wear almost daily the 5.11 TacLite Pros and I too prefer that pocket configuration. These are a close second however and more cost effective; at least now! Tru-Spec makes some very squared away clothing. More to follow ;-)

@Levisnowbarger Hey bro, I'm an Eagle Scout out of troop 34 in Illinois. I've gone through a lot of knives and after I got my first SOG I never looked back. The Aegis is a very good knife and I believe nutn has a review on it. My personal favorite is the Trident. I use it for everything from camping / survival to every day carry and I love it. I prefer a partially serrated blade for camping but that's your call - just get it from a sog dealer, you'll save a lot over sog's prices.

@mikeyd556 ok thanks but what do you mean by (a sog dealer) ?
Levisnowbarger 10 months ago
@Levisnowbarger instead of going strait to sog's website google 'sog knives' and you'll find a number of companies who sell sog products. You may have to search a few to find the particular knife your looking for but you can typically get them 30 - 40% below SOG's list price.

One thing I feel you might mention in future pant reviews is the belt loop positioned over your spine. In Snickers brand work pants this loop is very long and aids greatly in keeping the belt from riding up over the waist band. I look for this feature in my everyday wear pants. Something to consider, love the vids. Keep up the great work, thanks.

Joker0316 10 months ago
Hey Nutn , just a quick observation when it comes to the cellphone pocket . I think that the idea was that a lot of people carry their phones with vibration only (as in no sound) , so if you have the pocket lower then all the crap that you carry around in the other pockets will not interfere with the feel of the vibration . If you have the pocket up high by the regular side pocket then all that junk that you carry will prevent you from feeling the vibration and will make you miss the call :)
