I've been wearing 5.11 Defender Flex Slim pants. I get them when they are on sale. They're pretty good so far. I've had 2 pairs for over a year. My pants don't usually last that long so I can't complain. Got 2 more pairs this year.
Big +1 for the ATG’s. Definitely a fan of the Fjallraven Vida Pro Ventilated pants. They’re expensive but have excellent features and are super rugged. And they take kneepad inserts.
Great video. I think pants are the hardest thing to find. Lol I want something that looks somewhat modern with stretch and not tactical looking. I have some Kuhl, Prana, Viktos and like all those. Need to try the Vertx 2.0. The old vertx I have look like bell bottoms. Lol
I wear the lightweight wranglers. Great deal. Can be found easily for $25 or less. They have an olive green and darker "ranger green" color, on top of a few different shades of khaki. I got one of each.
I have a pair of Swiss Tech pants I got from Wally World, I think they are called traveler pants, for $24 that absolutely will not die. Very similar to the pair you showed!
First Tacitcal Tactix were good pants. Unfortunately they're not made anymore. Triple stitched at the pockets. Integral knee pads pocket. Elastic cargo pockets makes for easy access while having good retention.
Great video. Im in florida too, I don't shoot as much as you but I do alot of outdoor work and I'm constantly moving. I have found Kuhl pants to be some of the most reliable, breathable stretchy pants..a little costly, but sometimes you can find good deals on steap and cheap.
If you‘re in the market for Crye knock-off‘s I can highly recoommend TMC, Semapo Gear and Shekkin Gear. These are known for being high quality and accurate re-productions.
+1 on the Vertx deltas. I'm around your size only fatter. I usually rock a 36 inch waist, and find that works great for EDC'ing my G43, but have to go up to a 38" waist for a G19 or CZ P10c. I would also look at LAPG BFE pants for range work, especially over the summer, they don't breath as well as others but are durable and lighter weight. I have worn these on long hikes and love them for that, the quality isn't as good as the vertx but if you aren't wearing them all the time, you'll probably be fine.
High Value Asset Protection Garment. 🤙🏻 check out Mountain Hardwear Gear, crotch gusset helps not blow your ball area out. They’re an outdoor company for biking etc.
@@wisemencompany Hit the 70% off sale first, you can find 32s most times. Seems like 31s are unicorn pants. I’m running 31x32/33. Just in the middle of everything.
I didn't like the ATG's at all. Sizing was too long for what my size was, and they cut off part of the main front pockets for looks so I can't fit my big hands or my normal jeans EDC stuff in them. Also, the giant watch pocket is unusable for me. However, the synthetic version fixed most of the flaws and are not as hot. I'm interested to see how they do long term.
I've got 3 pair of Wrangler outdoor series. I've not been able to find them online for a while now. I'm thinking maybe they turned these into the ATG line? I gotta check them out
I'm not going to say Elite Tribe is "just as good" since I haven't worn then but let's be honest; Crye don't cost nearly $300 just because they're made *THAT* much better than everything else. Just like anything that was adopted by the US military (and everyone else) you're paying a brand tax. Unlike a lot of them, though, Crye is at least not just resting on their laurels are still attempt to improve their gear with each iteration.
Main problem I had with pants was the fit and they wear out fast with just regulars warehouse work I do , like the crotch area is probably the area that gets torn so far.. Imma get a pair of some of these pants and try em out thanks for the list.
15:12 those woodlands are NOT at all close to the same. I have both a real and replica pair the fabric isnt the same thickness the stitching isnt the same the cut is fairly close, the fit isnt quite the same though. also stretch on the cheapos are super thin.
Check out Lives levi's 511 commuter jeans. They have some stretch, gusseted crotch & the demon is more durable along with the belt loops. I do blow the crotches out of my regular 511’s in 8 months + & I’ve had no problems with the levi's 511 commuter jeans after a few years.
I hate tight pants and i cannot lie! Tight fitting pants make it hard for me to EDC Inside the waist, are very uncomfortable and hot around the crotch area. I’m more of a relaxed fit and a tad bit baggy pants kinda dude. But to each their own! Vertx delta stretch 2.0 is the sweet spot for me! I didn’t know we could be such divas with pants 😆
Which model of the ATG’s are the warm weather pants? The Wrangler website is a little confusing and none of the pants descriptions state warm/hot weather pants.
I wear the G3 or Field pants on a nearly daily basis for work. Nothing holds up to abuse as well! I've tried some of the Korean knock-offs and they are decent. NOT JUST AS GOOD!...but also not $250. The materials won't last as long but plenty good enough for what most folks will actually do with them. Prometheus Design Werx has some great pants as well and US made. I've been disappointed with the Chinese crafts-child-ship of Tactical Distributors...not worth it. Hard to beat the Wrangler lineup for cheap pants!!
If you ever decides to look for other crye clones, that are of quality and durable. Semapo (Korean maker) ARS Arma, unlicensed copy made by russians for the russian military (slightly more expensive, but near 130 bucks less than the cryes
He says $80 for some knock off pants is a deal. $80 for any untaylor made pants is a crime. Are y'all crazy? I can drop off a pattern at any asian taylor shop in the neighborhood & have them made fore $50 if I have the material included. Pants being made at a commercial level should be far, far less expensive. Especially from China or Korea.

2:51 Vertix Delta Stretch (2.0 is $85)
5:11 Weatherproof from Costco ($22)

Thanks for the tip on the Weatherproofs. 👊🏼 I'm in Houston, so same sticky-balls problem with most "tactical" pants.

Great vid on often overlooked topic! Thanks bro, I appreciate it.
I’ve been buying those same Costco pants! Love them
Think I tried those once or the similar Eddie bower ones il have to give them a shot again
Beyond clothing - end thread
Yes!!!!! I use weather proof too!!! Also the Gerry brand as well.
Crye G3 fields blew out after 2 deployments. I was issued them and would definitely buy them for civilian range use.
Great minds think alike, my go-to range pant right now is from Costco. Not Weatherproof brand, but similar idea.
I have 2 pairs of the G3, love them!!!!!

The Duluth trading company fire hose cargo pants are a great pair of pants. Can get them on sale for $65ish pretty regularly.
The Costco ones I use for edc, however is you have a holster that has a claw that isn’t coupled with a Mag holster it wil ride down
If you do make your own pants please make pants longer than 34 for us tall guys. I can get by with a 36 sometimes but those are even hard to find.

I purchased the Costco synthetic pants because of this video and I’m glad I did. Thanks for the review
You should try tactical distributors Carlos rays 2.1 the are the best and they have a slim version as well
Can’t lie I bought few pairs of the wrangler hiking pants from Walmart they have been holding up pretty good

I like links and have owned many. They are expensive and the sizing can be way off.

I love the ATGs! The synthetic ones are golden for texas weather.
I’ve used Crye and Patagonia combat clothing for about 15 years now. You’ll never go wrong in those brands.
Now.
Buy some wranglers like an adult.
😂

I just got new cryes from their website and their knee pads for $200 before shipping
I agree I spent weeks looking for a good pair tactical pants online tried multiple out and all of them are baggy and don't fit well
Weatherproof from Costco are MONEY. I owned more than 8 pairs one time. Built I got them under $16.
🤣🤣 haha ..most overlooked piece of tactical gear. Good stuff brutha👍
Love your channel!
The weatherproof brand of pants from Costco are amazing.
For real
When will the chute drop pouch be available again ?!?!!

Crye also doesn’t melt,like the other pants you mentioned
Love the drum n bass
Can we get any updates on the Emerson pants and how they’ve held up vs cryes? Thanks

what are the M81 pants in the thumbnail? look like crye but he holds up a multicam pair in the video
Did those elite tribe woodlands hold up?
Can you do shoes next? 👍 nice video.
thats a good idea
Any update on those woodland pants?

Where's that range at? Those barriers are pretty sick.
What a great video.. Very Honest!
Happy to help.

Only crye precision camo I want is the M81 woodland the ranger green and khaki.. I own a pair of ranger green but they are krytex not crye
“...Oh I’m sorry, it’s the pleats. It’s actually an optical illusion. It’s the pattern of the pants...” -RB.
Carhart needs to make a combat pant
The us gave soldiers in nam the so called bdu because a wide baggy cut is extra good for hot environments. 🤷♀️

What is the dump pouch @7:46?
Good stuff. ATGs are comfy.
How is the elite tribe pants holding up? Worth it?
Lululemon commuters are my new go to and I’m not even that embarrassed

Levi’s is a super anti-gun company and has been for at least 30 years. You should really avoid putting money in their hands if you can.
They are anti gun... Don't buy

Chute from Lunar Concepts. Sold on our website.

LAPolice Gear Rendition pants were awesome, and then they discontinued them.

Same here. The high waist gives better support and concealability for my Desert Eagle.
Damn dude you are hauling ass lol great video once again man!!
All the young guys are like "what are jAnKo jeans??" Hahaha
JNCO jeans are possibly the worst pants ever.
Make your own clothing company on the side
Dropped some coin for Crys or got them issued.
honestly just get some UF pro bro
6 days a week at the range!!!?
It's his job
It’s what I do.

Amazon says elite tribe is Chinese.
Look into Crewboss pants. Specifically their Kevlar’s. They will take your abuse at the range and laugh.
Nothing harder than operating in skinny jeans
Bump
Running around doing work with NO pants on.. Commando or nothing
Pants are _not_ crucial.
They are _optional._
No pants is best pants.
Yep the crotch is always the first casualty.
Kuiu
If u don't want to spend an arm and a leg on crye precision look into the company krytex they are half the price with the same quality
Emerson trybe Amazon so far so good
