Tru-Spec 24/7 Pants: "Field Proven" by Nutnfancy

Another great option for tactical pants, the Tru-Spec 24/7 Tactical pants are comfortable and durable. And I can speak to durability a bit: tested for over 1 1/2 years in tactical shooting and wilderness outings these pants have taken the use and abuse well. Though offered in 100% cotton canvas, I rec' you stick with the Tru-Spec 65% polyester/35% cotton fabric. It breathes amazingly well, it's lighter weight, dries adequately fast in warm weather, is comfortable, it's sharp looking, and durable. The fabric is Teflon® coated to resist staining but don't expect that repellency to last the life of the pant. It will diminish with washing. Some fading of the colors is normal (tips given in vid). Overall though, this is the best fabric I have found in a pant of this design and is identical it seems to the also-excellent 5.11 TacLite Pro pants. Similar to those pants, the 24/7s have an active waist that features that can flex in or out to accommodate substantial variances in waist size (like that's even happened!). I prefer this method over all previous BDU or ACU design attempts and is a bit cleaner in appearance than the 5.11 pants. Stitching in the 24/7 pants is precise, overrun free, and features bar tacks in stress areas. Interior seams are finished well. Belt loops are ideal and the reinforced knees have a slit in them for inserting soft knee pads. Colors are shown and surprisingly include Multicam (for extra cost). Other upsides include genuine YKK® zippers, quality brand snaps, availability of extended sizes, and less cost than the 5.11 pants (subject to change). There are some downsides however: the cell phone pockets are lower than 5.11s (harder to reach), the bar-tacked pocket flaps don't provide complete access to the cargo pockets, smaller knife pockets, and there are no Supplex pocket reinforcements. But still the Tru-Spec Tactical pants still rock and will excel in most realistic uses. /////////////////////////// Nutnfancy Likability Scale: 9 of 10 /////////////// Music licensed to TNP from Torley Wong

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.

@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.

It's to bad LL Bean doesn't offer the same sizes that 5.11 does. =(

These seems like good pants, but I almost think I prefer the 5.11 pros better. =\

Dupont coated as well. Runs about 40$ at your local army navy store. Great pants

[CompTechMike]

Seriously, I would pay up to $100 per pair for these pants in 34x36 size. Any leads? Please contact me!

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.
