I wear these pants every week and yes they are great.  People are right they do seem to run slighly short in length.  I wanted to write this review to let you know there is another great tactical poly/cotton tactical pant that costs HALF what these do.  Check out LA Police gear, operator pants.  Their pants are 20 bucks, depending on which style you get.  They run slighly small in the waist so if you get a pair, consider going one size larger in  the waist.  I alternate wearing these pants and my 511's every week.  I prefer the pockets and the fit of the operator pants to the taclite.  The 511 pants seem to have a huge baggy ass, while the operator pants are more form fitting.  Also, the very front pockets on the operator pants can accomodate ar15 mag's, or a large phone.  I do prefer the rear pocket on the 511's though.  The operator pants rear pockets are buttoned flap, which is difficult to manuever.  Both good pants, if your on a tight budget, you may wanna checkout LA police gears website...
