Tru-Spec Xpedition Tactical Pants for Men - Water-Resistant Outdoor Work & Hiking Pants with Dual Zippered Cooling Vents

These pants are outstanding! I have outfitted my entire Team with them but now they are almost impossible to get. Have they been discontinued?

I LOVE these pants. I just did Kilimanjaro and these are the shell pants I used for 7 of the 9 day trek. The other 3 days were too warm to wear them in. To be clear, these pants are really only wearable in < 60 degree weather. Any warmer and these pants are too warm, even with all 4 vents open, especially if you are engaged in some sort of activity like hiking, etc.FIT:I chose the 32x32 and I am I 6' 0" tall, 190lbs and these fit perfectly. The waistband has some elastic in it that turns these into stretchy pants which adds a good 2" to the waistband easily. The inseams were on point which squatting or bending the knees, the thinner-material sections of the pants (black parts) allowed for great flexibility.DURABILITY:These things are built like tanks. The material feels like a heavy canvas. I brushed up against thorns and rocks and it handled them like a champ. Dirt/dust brushes right off. Water bounces right off as well. These pants are not "waterproof" but they are very water resistant. As an example, if you were walking through a field with a lot of dew on the grass, the water just beads right off and doesn't linger on the material.TEMPERATURE:I wore these pants anywhere from 60F down to -10F during my trek and they handled all weather conditions like a champ. They are bulky enough that I was able to fit (2) level 4.0 Under Armor fleece base-layers on underneath easily. They are totally windproof. We had gusts of 75mph+ on the summit and these pants cut through it like butter.FUNCTIONALITY:Pockets, pockets and more pockets. The phone sleeve is big enough to handle my Samsung Note 8 inside an Otterbox Defender case (crazy big). There are (4) vents for the pants to breathe which have a mesh liner. This is nice as it prevents ticks and bugs from getting to your skin. The bottom of the pants have cinch button adjustments along with a boot-clip to secure onto your boot shoelace to keep the pant leg in place (this pairs awesome with gaiters). There are two designated knife storage locations which have additional abraision resistance for the belt-clip portion of a folding pocket knife. The right-side wallet pocket has a dedicated zipper. The same goes for the left-thigh pocket (zipper as well). The other pockets (left-buttcheck) and right-thigh are flap with a single button flap which allows quick access to items. I loaded up the thigh pockets and found that they didn't impair my movement even while scrambling over rocks hiking.LOOK:These pants just look badass. I have received many compliments wearing them.PRICE:I bought these for $71 and I feel like that is bargain for what you get. REI would charge $150-300 for pants like this with a different brand (Arc-Teryx, Patagonia, etc.).OVERALL:I think I'm maybe using these differently than most people, but I took a chance and took a risk with them on an expedition and couldn't have been happier with their performance.

My first pair of these pants came with a bad zipper on the left lower leg. That is kind of annoying, but since that isn't a feature I really care about, it never stopped me from buying 2 more pairs of the same pants (different colors, otherwise the same). I found zero flaws in the other 2 pairs of pants. Otherwise the zippers, snaps, and everything else about them are flawless. They are my favorite backpacking pants. I have worn them hunting and camping also. I have treated them with permetherin bug repellent and that didn't cause any color staining or any other damage either. Of course I have built and tended campfires while wearing them. They allow great freedom of movement and breathability. I would say that they are better for warmer weather (in comparison to typical jeans). I have worn them in massive rain. They offer zero water resistance, but they dry super fast. I also wore these pants to a couple of survival classes. I thought they were great for that kind of use. I even had one of the survival instructors say he thought that these are a very good choice for bushcraft survival purposes.They look very nice. They are fantastic for the rugged outdoorsy stuff and they easily are nice enough to wear to church, school, maybe even dates or possibly even a job interview (depending on a lot of variables of course). They really are sharp looking enough for wearing around town and looking damn good while doing so. I wear them to work at the laboratory that I work at. It is a dirty job. We work with strong acids, (I'm not saying that they will protect you from strong acids (they won't) I'm just saying that so far I haven't noticed any acid burns in them) and we do a lot of manual labor involving loading and unloading and carrying mildly heavy things around, bending down to pick things up, etc.. I bought my first pair of them about a year and a half ago, and I've given them anything but an easy life. With all the physically demanding things I have done in these pants I haven't damaged them in the slightest. I do recommend them. I even plan to buy at least one more pair of them (if I can find the color I want at a lower price). Oh yeah, I wash them in hot water in the heavy soil setting on my washing machine and I never machine dry any pants ever. So I don't know what would happen if you machine dry them.

These are probably the best pants I’ve ever purchased. I have worn tactical pant for my profession for 25 years and have used many different BDU tactical pants. These are the best hands down! The pocket placement is awesome it’s easy to get to the leg pockets. The stretch hold a lot of items and the left one has a zip close as well as a flap to secure your important gear. Just so many great features that I could write a book! Let’s just say stop looking, these are the pants you are looking for! I know they are on the expensive side but this is one product that is 100% worth the money!
