BLACKHAWK Men's Tac Life Pants

These sort of "de-militarized" tactical pants seem to be a trend right now, but where 5.11 clearly put a lot of thought into their apex model, Blackhawk really winged it with these tac life pants. It seems like Blackhawk was trying to copy Kuhl with these pants, right down to the ring shaped snap. There are definitely som things they got right, like the 100% nylon fabric, the phone pocket, crotch gusset, articulated knees, and the high quality zippers and stitching. Without a doubt these pants are well constructed from top grade materials. Where they fall short is in the layout and fit. They are simply cut way too narrow in the thighs, which is a pretty ballsy move with such a non-stretchy fabric. I only squat 300 lbs, and don't have big thighs by any standard, but it's only thanks to the crotch gusset and articulated knees that I can even sit down with these on. And forget about being able to wear a thermal layer under them in the winter. Next let's discuss the crazy pockets. There are these two goofy "knife pockets" built into the outer edge of the front hip pockets. They are terrible. They just get in the way when I go to replace my knife. Finally, the magazine pocket looks as if the production people were looking at the design blueprints backwards. The gusset opens towards the front rather than the back so it snags as you walk past things. Not to mention that the entire magazine pocket is located on the RIGHT THIGH. This might work fine for left-handed shooters, but for me it is incredibly awkward. It's so poorly placed that I just use it for holding my wallet.So Blackhawk, if you're reading this, here are my recommendations:- switch the thigh pockets around- add an extra inch or two in the thighs- lose the knife pocketsWith those three changes you could have a solid 5 star product.

No where nearly as good as the Lightweight Tactical Pants (and shorts) that they used to sell (still there, but only in sizes way too small or too big for most people). Since I thought this would be similar in fit, quality and ergonomics as their Lightweight Tactical Pants (the best pants I have ever owned), I bought them. To my surprise, this pants are just average. They don't fit quite right, the elastic on the waist does not work, the belt loops roll up, the pockets don't work as well, the snap comes unsnapped all the time. Since they have not had my size (36 by 32) or any other normal size in about two years, I am assuming they discontinued the best pants they ever had, and replaced them with average pants.

I've been wearing other black hawk pants for years, and liked them. But these fit tight even though they're nominally the same size (34-34) and the pocket lining is very fragile. I miss the heavy fabric of the pockets of their old pants. It kept my keys from poking through even after years of regular wearing.The other BH pants that I bought at the same time were unusably tight and equally flimsy in the pockets. I'm done with this brand.

This is a good lightweight tactical pant, but not a cargo pant. It is 100% nylon, which I found I didn't like so much, but which has it's advantages I guess.Personal/y, I prefer the Ridgeline tactical pant by 511Tactical which are about the same design, price and weight.I preferred the Ridgeline's fabric, which is 62% polyester & 38% cotton, and the very subtle pattern of the fabric which you can see in the magnified view of the pants.The Ridgeline pant is a nice upgrade from cotton jeans, if you want a more upscale look for some activities.

My favorite aspect is the reinforced pockets. I can hook tape measures, etc on the pocket without ripping. Also the fact that I have a bit more flexibility because of the crotch gusset. Overall very comfortable and good quality.The fabric is very heavy duty. Slid down mountains in these pants. Spilled things on them. They dry very fast, don't stain. I can even wear them as formal wear. They are nice dark black and the pockets are not very noticeable. Besides some strings hanging off and the small white tag on the side of the pants they are great to wear anywhere.

Pants fit extremely tight in the legs and knees. Almost like skinny jeans for the hipsters.

Size was correct for waist and length however, as others have reviewed, tight in thighs. I have owned several Blackhawk pants/shorts and these do not even come close to the quality of earlier pants, these pants are constructed poorly. These are a disappointment and not worth the money.

I am easy to fit. 5'10" 170bs. <14% body fat%. I don't know who wrote those other reviews, but the pair I bought were huge! Waist, hips, thighs, crotch all very baggy. Too big everywhere except the length.

Es un pantalón de muy buena calidad, lo que si es que viene bastante amplio de todo, yo soy 34 y debí haberme comprado un 32 porque parece de los pantalones que usaba avril lavigne 🤣

Es un excelente producto, muy cómodo y se siente realmente la calidad, no tuve problemas con la talla

Excelente materia, buen corte, ideal para el campo y la talla muy exacta. En general lo recomiendo es una buena prenda comprare otro.
