Tactical pants and pocket placements, why you need more than one style?
There is not a single tactical pant that we sell that is great for everything. Recently we had some customer walk in here wearing Vertx tactical pants and asked us to start carrying them. A few weeks before we had a large inventory of Blackhawk tactical pants because a ton of customers wanted those. They also liked the fact they held up better for hunting. Last week because of a news article about the Woolrich Elite chinos the most non-tactical pant we sell were our number one sellers. I personally prefer the Eotac style 202 tactical pants but I guess I’ll have to fall back on a close second place with the Woolrich Elit 44429.
I have been going back and forth about which pants I liked more, recently the surge has been towards the Tru Spec tactical pants because of the new national promo. I have to admit that for $29.95 the Tru Spec tactical pants are by far a superior pant to the 5.11 tactical pants as far as quality. The 5.11 tac lite prom pants are the only tactical pants that I like from 5.11 but I had sizing issues and that is something that seems to be a constant. Maybe people do need to consider more than a one brand and accept the fact that each one has an advantage over the other as long as the product is durable.
