I often wish I could get away with wearing these pants all the time.  The khaki, tundra, and one of the green colors are nice, but I do have some black ones.  The seat and legs are comfortable, the fabric is better than the original cotton canvas version, and the pockets are great for all your handy pocket junk or EDC items.  You can easily secure your wallet, keys, smartphone, pocket knife/multitool, clip on knife, pocket sized flashlight, and even a small handgun if you like and not feel overwhelmed or bulged.  I know this because everytime I've worn them I've had those items on me plus more.  I got these for work and have worn only for work.  I just don't feel like I could get away with wearing them all the time casually and be "socially acceptable" for whatever that's worth...perhaps if cargo pants were still popular?

The negatives that I perceive about the pants are the overly tapered cuffs.  I suspect they're tapered as much for the tactical effect of blousing them over some boots, but I have never seen someone wear this style of 5.11s that way.  I also wish 5.11 would drop the traditional carabiner strap over the right back pocket.  From what I understand the strap carries over from the original Royal Robin design with 5.11 being a grade of climbing rigor. The pants, made for climbers, had an accessory strap for spare carabiners.  I've heard some refer to it as a drag strap, but typically the people who would need dragging (the intended wearers of these pants) have on belts so that's kind of a moot point.  The strap, if it matters, does not fade evenly with the pants as they're washed so it becomes lighter faster.  The slanted rear pockets, although a bit awkward in design and appearance, really make accessing your wallet much easier when you're wearing something like a gun belt or plate carrier.

I've never tried any the other manufacturers' versions of these pants, but there are some with more traditional rear pockets, some of which are flapped, and I don't think any of them have the rear strap.  Nonetheless, I really like these pants and recommend them highly for field wear and casual wear.
