BLACKHAWK Men's Tactical Pants - Durable Military & Outdoor Work Pants for Hiking, Hunting & Tactical Operations

Love these, but they run a little small. Recommend ordering a size or two bigger. So if you are a 34, get a 36 or 38. If you are a 38, get a 40 or a 42. You'll be glad you did. They're nice & roomy in the seat & crotch with lots of pockets, which I just love: cell phone, glasses, change, handkerchief, keys, wallet, & much more.I've owned and worn Blackhawk pants exclusively for the past decade. They had a perfect design that they decided to retire in the Lightweight Tactical Pants. These Pursuit Pants replace the Lightweight Tactical pants but remove almost all of the features that made the Lightweight Tactical Pants the ONLY pants I wore for the past decade (since before they changed the materials). Here's a list of the changes-These Pursuit Pants remove the zipper pocket inside each cargo pocket and they replace the double Velcro clasp with a single one in the middle which increases the likelihood things will fall out while you're sitting down.The back pockets are so shallow they're almost nonexistent when compared to the deep pockets that went almost down to the back of the knee on old Lightweight Tactical Pants.In addition to making the pockets that they kept worse they also removed the vast majority of zipper pockets on the pants.They also removed the single zipper pocket that was above the right back pocket AND the hidden zipper pocket that was behind the right hand front pocket.They also replaced the right magazine pocket with a slit and a pouch so there is no flap to keep contents in place like there is on the left magazine pouch.The only improvement is that the loop from which you can hang your keys is better reinforced.All in all Blackhawk has removed a bunch of pockets from the lightweight tactical pants and made the ones they kept much less useful. It's a real shame to see the design of such a great product take about 20 steps back. Unless Blackhawk brings back the Lightweight Tactical Pants I'll have to find another brand/model that fits my needs.Blackhawk: these rear pockets are almost unusable. I finally realize what women complain about when they don't have pockets on their pants.Love these pants, plenty of pockets and very comfortable. I love the rubber strips around the inner waistband, this really helps keep the pants on the hips nicely. Although one thing I do not like is the fit on the front of the legs just above the knees seem to stick a little when moving forward or lifting your leg high, the top part of the pants just above the knees seem to slightly stick slightly and or resist to the movement of the leg in a forward and upward position....not sure what it is that creates this resistance just above the knees, maybe the shape or cut of the pant leg material??? Otherwise, pretty comfortable and very useful.I have 6 pair of these pants purchased three years ago, they are still perfect.This 'model' however do not have the silicon strip around the inside to secure shirts. These have easily malformed flaps with ineffective velcro upon them rather than sleek and deep pockets you slipped items into around the super strong velcro strips or by separating the velcro. This model have neither of the hidden zipper security pockets either. These are a downgrade. I purchased them for my father.The size being larger by far than the decree of the measuring tape and the obvious disregard for purpose-driven design and of course the unmitigated greed demanding cost for an item that is less in usefulness and quality than its predecessor by a third is unacceptable.5.11 makes a pant nearly identical to this (though lighter) for $20 less. Dad wants to try again, so I'm getting him another pair of these but my review of the disappointments stand and I personally am displeased with Blackhawk and the decisions of its producers.Update: Dad agrees that these are substantially less qualified to be sold than the previous style which I have. He adds that they are uncomfortable in the knees and found them to be restrictive. We initiated a return and purchased 5.11's. So long, Blackhawk.These pants are a little tighter than the previous model. Don't care for the button fly button or the rear pockets. I liked the large rear pockets on the privious model because you could put a water bottle there. The zipper pockets are gone which was perfect to put my wallet or cell phone. I do like the 2 extra belt loops. The two upper pockets they could make a little larger to fit the larger cell phones. Still on the fence if I will buy any more pants.I ordered my normal size initially which was a 36x34- They were enormous and had to return- Went to a 34x34 and they fit perfectly. Some of the reiews on here said they were to tight...not at all! The back pockets are tighter and smaller then older models but I don't carry a wallet so no biggie for me. These pants fit right in all the right places, and look fantastic...also very functional. I work in Show Production and need multi-pockets for tools, etc and just rugged pants on the job. These fit the bill and then some! Also, they would be great range pants to!!!I ordered size 34x32. Very well made. But the pair I received may have been marked with the wrong waist size. My other pair of the same pant (I received as a gift) fits me just fine. The pair I purchased through Amazon fits loose around the waist such that I can pull the pants off past my waist without unbuttoning and unzipping. I can’t return the pants because my wife already washed them - my loss :(Great pants but the pockets are a little shallow. Just a little tight on the thighs but other than that lots of pockets is a plus. This would be nice on shorts also since the warrior tac shorts & pants are running out of my size?
