As far as pants go, these are pretty special.  These ones are the "Lite" variety, that makes them lighter wearing, and a little more comfortable for Australian weather.  I like the multitude of pockets, and the slash pocket, that makes carrying a knife easy, no matter where you want to clip it.  The magazine pockets are not as nice for my mobile phones, since carrying magazines is kinda useless in Australia.  However you can manage to put a screwdriver or two in there, or maybe my glasses case (just).  I can comfortable fit my wallet, 2 mobile phones of the Blackberry variety, a folding knife, a lighter and have room for so much more.

In terms of looks, well, there are a few schools of thought here. According to my wife, they aren't very flattering, but I think they look great.  Maybe not quite enough for my office which is generally business pants and long sleeved shirts, however if I'm doing a cabling job or moving some servers around, I'll rock up in them no question.  Match them with a quality polo and boots, and you are good to go on just about any outing.

My only real complaint is that the belt loops don't accept a 50mm (2 inch) belt.  The regular 5.11 pants do. And they don't come in a 29" leg, for shorties like me.  The fit is superb, you get exactly want you order.

Still, happy to recommend them. If you need something harder wearing, the&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/5-11-74251-Men-s-Cotton-Tactical-Pant/dp/B005L7X7VG/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">5.11 #74251 Men's Cotton Tactical Pant</a>&nbsp;are the ones to get.
