Women's TRU-SPEC 24-7 Series Classic Pants Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

I found that these pants don't really shrink all that much and have room to expand so it is probably best to get them true to your waist measurements. If you get them on the bigger side or have significant inner leg contact beware of swishiness noise, which will happen with this fabric.

The pockets are wonderfully concealed and can pass for business casual. The small external pockets between the front and back pocket are great for small pocket knives and short tools. They do fit a pen, but not all the way and should be about half an inch deeper to accommodate pens.

The back pockets are velcro, which can be noisy, the other internal pockets are zippered which is much quieter, but can require two hands, particularly the hidden front pockets when you're sitting.

The side leg pockets are about half capacity of a normal cargo dump pocket and while they aren't visible when full, if you keep thin heavy objects in them (like a heavy duty pocket knife or multitool) and run, the pocket can sometimes slide behind the knee and give you a good tap in the back of the leg. It also makes crouching tricky sometimes.

The color fastness is good and the fabric will hold up to wear and tear, but be aware that if you spend a lot of time kneeling the knees will show wear quickly. I work in a warehouse and these pants only survived about a dozen such kneeling incidents before it started to show. It's very slight wear to be sure, but visible against the overall color of the pants.

These pants are much lighter than 24-7's "Lightweight Tactical Pants" yet they have the same great fit and ship unhemmed. While the larger, bulkier pockets are missing, these pants have four side seam zipper pockets for keys, cash, DL, and Chapstick. I'm 5'11, 145lbs and a size 8 fits perfectly - sitting just below my hips. My only wish is for more color options.

These pants looked like just what I wanted. I normally wear an 18, but I wanted these to be a bit more roomy so I ordered the 20. Being very short waisted I was not terribly concerned about other comments saying these were hip huggers. When I got the pants they were not only about 2 sized to SMALL they were indeed hip huggers! I don't know what sizing chart they go by, but they are not true to size at all. Also beware that if you return items, YOU pay the return freight. So... buyer beware!

Great value and fit true to size. Professional style for sure.
I would have given 5 stars but did not like having to hem the pants. But that could be a plus for others.

The quality of the pants are wonderful. Roomy and deep pockets.The size seems to run larger than I like. They also seem to run long but are made to easily cut and hem. Overall I am very pleased with these. Am going to order another pair a size smaller this time.

Pants are just what I expected, material is a little stiff, but will probably soften up in the wash. I wish they came in gray.

I really like the style, material and the length/waist fit well too. Unfortunately, the fit on hips and rear is too snug unlike similar "tactical pants" by other brands.
