Propper Uniform Lightweight Tactical Pants are the perfect combination of affordability and tactical functionality. Constructed from an ultra-lightweight blend of 60% cotton and 40% polyester featuring a ripstop weave, these trousers are ideal for hot and humid climates. With a mid-rise fit that doesn't look overly baggy, these pants provide the perfect fit for those looking to conceal and carry. The 10-pocket configuration includes cell pockets, coin pockets, and large pleated cargo pockets for ample storage. In addition to the elastic waistband for added flexibility, Propper Uniform Lightweight Tactical Pants boast all the features of a high-end tactical trouser without the hefty price tag. Perfect for any situation, these pants are sure to meet any challenge.

Ripstop Weave

Ripstop weave is a fabric with a reinforced weave pattern designed to stop tears from spreading. The pattern consists of densely woven threads that form a grid pattern, making the fabric more resistant to tearing and ripping. The threads used to create the ripstop weave are usually much thicker than the fabric, making it stronger and more durable. Ripstop weave is commonly used to make lightweight and strong fabrics, such as ballistic nylon and parachute silk, which are suitable for making a wide range of items, including tents, parachutes, and technical outerwear.

10-Pocket Configuration

The 10-pocket configuration of Propper Uniform Lightweight Tactical Pants includes two side pockets, two back pockets, a cell pocket, a coin pocket, and four large pleated cargo pockets. The side pockets are great for keeping small items such as a wallet or keys handy. The two back pockets provide extra storage for larger items. The cell pocket is designed to fit most modern smartphones and the coin pocket is perfect for storing loose change. The four pleated cargo pockets are large enough to hold all of your essential gear and are secured with hook and loop closures. This impressive 10-pocket configuration offers plenty of storage and organization, so you can always have the gear you need with you.

Mid-Rise Style

The mid-rise style of Propper Uniform Lightweight Tactical Pants offers more of a fitted look than other tactical trousers. These pants have a higher waistband than traditional pants, with the waistband sitting just above the hipbone. This cut provides a more flattering fit that is comfortable and provides more flexibility than regular tactical trousers. The elastic waistband allows for a snugger fit that is ideal for those who intend to conceal and carry. Additionally, the mid-rise style prevents the pants from bunching up or sagging, giving you an overall professional and polished look.

Affordable Price and tactical

The Propper Uniform Lightweight Tactical Pants are a great value for money product, as they offer a high-end design for an affordable price. Not only are they made from a durable 60% cotton / 40% polyester ripstop fabric, but they also feature a 10-pocket configuration and mid-rise style that is perfect for those who intend to conceal and carry. As an added bonus, the fabric weight is a mere 6.25 ounces, making them ideal for hot and humid environments. All in all, these trousers are the perfect combination of affordability and tactical functionality without the sky-high price tag.

Very comfortable, easy to move in and Breathable. I played one game of paintball in them, in 80 degree weather. Didn’t get very hot, were durable. I give them 4 because they eventually tested near my left knee. Still decent overall.

Initially, when we opened the package, we were impressed with how well the pants were pressed and gently folded. Not a wrinkle to be found anywhere!
My husband deftly lifted them from the plastic ( so as to not wrinkle them ) and put them on. They fit perfectly in the waist but as our eyes scanned to the ankle area we saw that those 32's biting his ankles.
As my husband ate his breakfast in his underwear I let the hem out of the pants, made a smaller hem and then steamed that old crease right out of those pants. They were now a 34/34! Usually my husband wears a 32 in length but with these pants it is better to order a size up in length I think....not unless my 40 year old husband grew in the last few months. Anything is possible I suppose.
Overall, my husband is very satisfied with these pants and even happier that I know how to save him 10 bucks.

Hope this review helps others in their product selection.

These pants have interior knee pad pockets which is a feature not present in BDU's. If you have ever tried using external pads during woodland activities then you know they always move out of place. No other pants within $20 of these had internal pockets. Given the price I did not expect much in terms of fit, color shade, or durability. The listed waist size is when the waistband is fully stretched so a size or two larger is a better choice (not beer-belly friendly).
I bought these pants (green) to pair up with a Military issue MultiCam long sleeve shirt. Central Florida has Wetlands and Sandhills so I took a chance when choosing a color. The green shade of these pants is arguably a better match for MultiCam compared to OD or Ranger green (less contrast). I hope the color doesn't fade rapidly though some lightening would still not be problematic. The stitching and Rip-stop materials are both stronger than average. They fit me quite well (6ft 170lbs body type) but a larger size would have been more accommodating as I mentioned earlier. Cool enough for the Summer Sun and strong enough for playing hard! Bottom line: Tough, inexpensive, and better than expected.

I bought these pants as a part of my SAR uniform and so far these pants have held up to training and SAR missions. The waist has a bit of give due to small elastic bands on both sides. The pockets are plentiful and Velcro seems to be sturdy so far. I really like the open pockets behind the cargo pockets, they hold a 20 oz. water bottle perfectly for me to carry one with me in the event a patient we're searching for needs a drink.

These pants are very comfortable, I did have to take in the inseam as I did order a bigger size (40x38)as I was worried about ordering too small normal women's jean size on me is 14/16 with a 32 lenth..Also from the knee down seemed very wide for my liking..with doing repair of taking total inseam in on the pants they are very comfortable still just a tad long not extreme once with work boots on they look good. I would recommend these lightweight tactical (cargo)pants I absolutely love the feel & all the nice size pockets! AND YES for the working women. Which women reviews of pants are hard to find when looking for a true & honest review of a normal heavier lady. I hope this helps all the ladies looking for a great pair of work pants!

These are great fitting pants. A little heavier than I thought for summer in the southwest desert, but will be perfect when the cooler winter months come. The low rise lets them sit like jeans, which is perfect for me as I am slim through the hips with no rear-end to speak of. Normal tactical pants always slide down and get worse because the motion of walking with the longer crotch keeps pulling at them. With the low-rise of these pants they are perfect and stay in place. I will be ordering more in the near future, about one pair every month until I have about six of these. The only thing I would like is a lighter weight fabric, perhaps just the rip-stop nylon or with a lower percentage of cotton for the heat of the summer. Also, other reviews are correct about the button being a pain…it is, but it loosens up just enough to make it workable. Perhaps a quality snap as other tactical pants have might be better. The sizing was spot on and a joy compared to having to exchange for one size up or down as is typical when purchasing clothing on line. The quality, durability, array of pockets, and fit has sold me on your company and these pants. Gave only 4.5 stars because of that darn button. Thanks for a great product.

First and foremost I am a stickler when it comes to reviews with that being said I ordered 2 of these pants. So far so good. The real test will be when I wash the pants and see how it feels . Like other reviewers stated the pants do feel a little bit tight around the waist but that's not a deal killer. These pants are great for people that are on a budget like me because I don't have excess of $70 to pay for a pair of 511 pants. You sure can't beat the price I don't think you'll find this type of pants anywhere for $25 only reason for the 4 stars instead of the five is because of how tight the waist is according to the size. Like I said earlier not a deal killer. I would definitely buy these pants again from this company keep making these products for the common person on a special budget. Definitely 5 stars when it comes to that.

They did not exactly fit like I was expecting. I wear a 47 waist so I ordered a size 47 and it said they had elastic in the waist to allow for extra room but their really is not much extra room at all. They may have about 1 inch of expansion if that much. I should have ordered a bigger size. The pocket for the cell phone is extremely too small for a Galaxy S5 phone. It's made more for a really small phone and then it would have to be tall to work. The pockets on the legs are ok but they are too wide, so anything you put in them tends to get side ways when you sit down, instead of staying upright (like my S5 phone). There needs to be more options for length on big sizes. I had to order the long unhemmed ones and hem them up because I couldn't a 29 or 30 length. I'm 6'1" but don't have long legs. The zipper isn't really long enough. I do like the fabric they are made from. I wouldn't buy another pair.

I was looking for tac pants that reminded me of the durability of my cammies when I was in the Marine Corps, but wouldn't cost an arm and a leg if I tore them on a fence or stained in pavement scuffle. The material and pocket placement weren't important to me regarding their similarity to my cammies. The cargo pockets have two sides; with one under the cargo flap and the other behind the cargo pocket- similar to a drop pouch, which is awesome for dropping discards and even my phone when I don't want a hand in my pocket. I use boot bands and they work just fine when bloused, although getting a consistent shape out of them as easy as it was with cammies. The side bands of the pants are elastic/expandable, which is awesome for wearing dress shirts, longjohns or the Batsuit. I use the front thigh pocket for a folding sleeve of random gadgets... and I like it. I get in and out of the vehicle a lot and I expect these to continue holding up. I will be buying another pair when I see another PROPPER and CONDOR sale; which are my preferred brands.

These pants do not fit the same as other Propper Tactical Pants that I have. They are a good 1 to 2 sizes smaller. Also, there are two layered pockets at the cargo pocket location. The first, or outside pocket is the same as any other cargo pocket with a flap. The second is immediately behind the regular cargo pocket, but it is not secured at the top. Consequently, anything carried in the regular cargo pocket tends to pull the fabric away from the leg which causes the secondary pocket to fully open at the top. You then look like Captain Kangaroo with an open pocket on the leg. It is unsightly and not at all secure. I won't be buying any more Propper Tactical Pants just because I don't wish to get this particular design again. I'll stay with True Spec or 5.11 instead. You get what you pay for.
