My husband is out in the field working EMS, and we in EMS know how you go through pants, they fade, rip, and stain... These pants are very expensive at least 50 a pair in uniform stores and approximately the same or more online specific uniform companies. I pointed my husband towards Amazon as a sceptical buyer. He assured me the product couldn't be the same. I asured him otherwise and told him to get me a brand name or product number to comparison shop. This is EXACTLY WHAT HE WAS LOOKING FOR!!! He got 2 pairs for slightly more than the price of one from anywhere else would have cost him. Now I have let the secret of amazon out in my household and he is also hooked!!! These are what you are looking for = EMS TACTICAL PANTS!!!
