This is my first pair of Blackhawk pants. I bought them and a pair of Propper pants to compare. In trying them on, I can't choose a favorite. These have shallower pockets, but the legs are not tapered which gives more versatility in terms of what weight long underwear could be worn under them. These do not hinder my movement, nor do the Proppers. These were $10 more. The weight is about the same. I am glad I have one of each.
