This is my first pair of Blackhawk's.  Lot of pockets that seem to stay securely closed.  The size runs slightly large as some others have said, but that was a good thing for me because a true 34 waist is a bit too snug for me and 36 is way too big.  So these are close to perfect (probably if they had a 35" waist it would be truly perfect).  The front pockets are a bit less roomy for my taste but far from a deal breaker because there are so many other aspects of these pants that are great.  The little detail of the rubberized band in the waist to keep your shirt tucked in is great.  Never a plumbers butt for me ;)
