Best Rated 5.11 Tactical Pants – Top 10 Reviews

5.11 Tactical Pants – Top 10 Reviews

We have tried most all Tactical pant manufacturers offerings and the 5.11 Tactical pants are definitely the favorite and best rated by a wide margin. They have been at this since 1968 when they were part of Royal Robbins and have it all figured out what should and shouldn’t be and where it should be placed in a Tactical pant.

It depends what you are looking for in a pant but there is a very high probability they have you covered from full out TDU Uniform pants to Cargo pants on down to Dress Casual covert pants. You won’t find a pair that is unsuitable for what they are intended for, we love them all. Here is our ranking from favorite and worn most often to worn least often but yet still far better than the competition. In this ranking we did not make comments over and above the ones from 5.11 with the exception to say we as a group own all of these listed as well as others by 5.11 and these were the favorite 10.
