5.11 Tactical Pants & Shorts

I have always found it humorous that the 5.11 Tactical pants and shorts are SO well known in the military and law enforcement industries, but not as popular amongst the recreational outdoor crowd (at least in my area). Why? Because, as I understand it, the 5.11 Tactical Pants were originally designed for rock climbing. The expanding waist, the hidden internal kneepad pockets and the strap on the rear pocket for D-rings... all design features to make the pants more comfortable and of greater utility value for the climber. This week we're going to take a look at the pants, and both lengths of shorts and how they perform out their in the elements.
