I'm writing this review to compare to other women's tac pants available. I'll compare to the 5.11 Stryke pant. The fabric is thicker, but I'm hoping that means they will last longer. With the 5.11, I always wear out the crotch and inner thighs before anything else. I work in Afghanistan, so I need a tac pant with lots of pockets. I saw a friend wearing these and decided to give them a try. The fabric is thicker, and certainly less breathable than the 5.11, but still bearable even in the heat. The pockets, though they look larger, are probably about the same size. The buttons, as others have mentioned, are a pain in the ass. I leave all the buttons undone so I can actually access my pockets when I need them, but then the flaps are kind of all over the place. I am a tall woman, (5.8) and they are long enough. I suppose I could undo the hem and move it down, but they are long enough as is for me to wear with boots and trail runners. The rise is a little low for me, and while it LOOKS ok, it does feel a little uncomfortable the way they sit on my hips. I wouldn't wear them without a shirt tucked in to cover the way it rides low on the muffin top.
On an important note, these DO fit smaller than the 5.11. I wear a 10 in 5.11 and ordered a 12 in these, and I'm glad for it. I don't think I'd be able to squeeze into a 10 in the UA. These also come in a dirt color brown, which 5.11's do not. Dirt colored is preferential in AFG, as everything ends up dirt colored anyways. If I had to choose between another pair of 5.11 stryke's and the UA, I would probably buy the UA...They are about the same price, and I'm hoping the UA's will last longer and stand up to these thunder thighs.
