What is the job at hand and will your pants hold up?
There are so many different types of tactical pants on the market and so many people will rant or rave about a certain brand. Sometimes they just brag about how they got a great deal on the clothing and and they fit, others will talk about the features while others will talk about the comfort. Not everyone is going to like the fit of a certain tactical pant because body types can vary. I won’t get too much into discussing this but in the 8yrs we’ve been selling clothing, not everyone can be happy with the same product. In recent years the discussion has been about gussetted crotches and if the pants will blow out on the range, well that still can happen with any pant.
The real issue is with lightweight clothing, the lighter the material the more likely it will be to blow out if it does not have a gussetted crotch. Some of the Tru Spec tactical pants they we have tested out do not have this type of stitching but we’ve not heard of anyone blowing them out. I would claim that these are fence jumping tactical pants, but the fit gives you pretty good movement. I’ve seen some of the Eotac pants blow out but that was due to design it was really a manufacturing issue. There are so many variables in getting a good clothing product on the market and if we use consistency, quality and price points, the Tru Spec pants are probable number 1.
