The Tactical Pants

Tactical pants are somewhat similar to the cargo pants with some technical modifications, especially designed as ordinary armor for professionals from EMTs, FBI and SWAT Team agents, law enforcement officers, and military and fire professionals.

History

Tactical Pants were first used as a mountain climbing trouser and were developed by the Royal Robbins. The law enforcement community first discovered the tactical pants when some native Colorado FBI agents came across the original Royal Robbins version. They immediately agreed upon using these ultra-durable pants for play and work. This is how the trousers made it all the way to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Seeing the top officials wearing the pants all around the globe, everyone in law enforcement demanded their own pair of pants.   

 

Style

Over the years, Tactical Pants have evolved greatly to offer different features. They are available in various styles, fabrics and colors. They are easily distinguishable from the cargo pants because of their solid color. They are made with lightweight materials (65% polyester and 35% poly cotton ripstop), the belt loops are very thick to support a large belt to carry the weight of a sidearm, cuffs or other equipment. The double reinforced seat and knees provide enhanced scratch protection, with interior knee slots ready to accept 6mm neoprene kneepads. External knife pockets are common in all the different variations of Tactical pants.

Due to all these specifications, Tactical pants are expensive, but they are very durable and fulfills their purpose very well.
