How to Choose Tactical Pants?

The features designed to cater to military lifestyle are embedded in every pair of tactical pants. But, certain styles are suited better for specific operations.

To make your search easy, we're here to help you! We've outlined what you need to consider prior to investing in a pair.

Pattern and Color

first thing is to make sure you’re choosing pants in the right pattern. Get authentic fabric too as duplicates might not be properly infrared-treated. Check for the pattern and colors as per your service regulations.

Fabric

Check for the fabric weight and blend also. If you’ll be working in a hot climate, definitely you’ll be sweating in heavy pants, at the same time, however, lightweight fabric is very less durable. Hence, your best bet is a lightweight ripstop fabric!

When considering hot climate, look for light and comfortable fabric with reinforced knees. Poly cotton is a popular and comfortable fabric for tactical gear, however many troops prefer plain old cotton. These are slower to dry but have one advantage that these don’t melt being a natural fabric. On the other hand, if synthetic fabrics catch fire, they can cause injuries. While some newer ones are a lot more flame resistant, it’s still hard to beat cotton for safety.
  

Cargo Capacity

Don’t forget to consider carrying capacity of cargo. Although some people find them annoying, yet cargo pockets are useful. The pleated style tends to appeal a lot more pocket debris ending up flapping round your thighs. Hence, if you like to keep your legs released, go for flat ones. They’ll serve for holding maps and even a couple of spare rifle magazines. However, you won’t be tempted to stuff as much junk in there.

Conclusion

Tactical pant is something that should fit you comfortably, thus it’s always a good idea to try them on before purchasing. If you get a tight or extra loose fit, or pockets that aren’t placed where you like them, it’s quite to do anything about it afterwards. Try them on with the same basic gear like boots and belt at a minimum where possible. This will give you an idea of any potential issues.

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.
