buckonz Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 When I compete, I have a couple of pairs of 5.11 Tactical pants, which are excellent. I'm looking to get another pair specifically for RO'ing. As a result I'd like to get a pair that are as LIGHTWEIGHT as possible. Anyone know which "model" of 5.11 pants are very lightweight?

Sarge Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 look for the ripstop material. I wear Truspec 24/7 ripstop. Very light weight and cooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePete Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 My Wife and I wear 511 TacLite Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I like the Stryke but have tried the Apex. Like the fit and feel of the Apex. Lighter weight and better fit. Little stretch in the material. If you need/want pockets for stuff, then I would choose the Stryke. Little thicker tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacivilian Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Look at the Tactical Distributor's Carlos Ray pants if you have an open mind. They are a much lighter and more comfortable pant in my opinion and I have owned quite a few "tactical" pants from 5.11, under armor, etc. They are lightweight, stretchy, durable, and well insanely comfortable.

jacala Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Taclite Pro is the way to go. If on an ipsc interstate trip/shoot and staying in a motel etc they can be handwashed and hungup to dry in the bathroom iow dry overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at some of the other styles, the rear pockets either have flaps or are higher than the original 5.11's. When you wanna or have to stuff things in the pockets, the original design works better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrydoc Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 https://www.truspec.com/24-7-series/pants/mens-eclipse-tactical-pants I have been wearing these for a while now I reckon lightest weight over the 5.11 tacticals/ taclite pro. Obviously a different pocket set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmooberry Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I'll go ahead and mention that my new favorite pants of all time are the LAPG Atlas pants. They've got stretchy material in all of my chubby spots and are very breathable and lightweight! Not to mention, the price is right on them, especially on sale!

SlappyMcTrigger Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Kuhl also makes some fantastic pants. They are well thought out and very comfortable. Their light weight stuff is awesome. REI carries them and you can sometimes find deals on them at REI’s garage site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avedis Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 5.11 Traverse are easily the lightest and most comfortable. Stretchy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
