Men's Stryke Operator Pants Outdoor

There are no decent reviews on the web about these, hopefully this will help. I am a fan of 5.11 clothing, you may be able to tell. Bottom line: These are excellent, highly functional and comfortable cargo pants, the best I have owned. Suitable for travel, hot and cold climates, the hills, work, or town. The style does not scream cargo pant/military but remains functional, the fit good (see below) and the colours appropriate. Fit: I am a 32-34 waist and a 32 leg. I own these trousers in 32 waist and a 34 leg and they fit well, slightly long and snug around the waist. 34 waist are too baggy around the groin and 32 too short in the leg. They are a straight, non articulated leg so slightly long is fine. The reinforced knee still fits as it should, both standing and kneeling. The waist is elasticated and fits as it should with good access to pockets. 5.11 Traverse pants fit me in exactly the same manner, but with a well sited articulated knee. 5.11 Ridgeline pants also fit as per the Stryke pant. Design: The layout of these trousers is as good as you are going to get with a cargo pant. The waist pockets are large and deep, cleverly worked into the elasticated waist band for great access and reinforced at the pocket clip area. Slit pockets take a medium smartphone (HTC One), large folding knife or small torch and are a good depth. Rear pockets are good even when snug on the butt and have Velcro closure that works fine for a wallet or passport etc. Cargo pockets on the thigh are more discreet than a normal cargo pant, bellows in a clever fashion and stretch. All gear is kept secure against the leg without being annoying. The pockets are big without being ridiculous. They have inner pockets for 2 x AR15 magazines. The pocket holds an A5 note book or small tablet and case, well (Kindle Fire). Fastenings are well designed Velcro that holds the pocket completely shut yet access is rapid. 5.11 Traverse pants have exactly this layout less the rear pockets which are zip closure, which also work well. Material: These are made from lightweight ripstop nylon/cotton blend fabric with mechanical stretch width ways. They are great in all weathers and are breathable. The trousers are hard wearing similar to BDUs with greater comfort and fit thanks to the stretch. The Teflon coating means they are semi liquid repelling and are easy to care for. Construction: No issues so far, well stitched, good materials, metal zip and robust fastenings. Colours: I now own several pairs of these. Storm is a great mid grey colour. Olive is as the remainder of the 5.11 range and suitable for the field. Tundra is a green/brown combination and slightly darker than olive - actually a great camouflage colour for most environments, with a couple of washes it may lighten slightly to be even better. Charcoal is a dark grey. Battle Brown is darker than 'chino' khaki but lighter than chocolate - another great colour. In all, I like all of the current 5.11 colours described. Washing: I have followed the instructions on these pants and washed them at 30. I have encountered no shrinking or fading. Alternatives: The 5.11 Traverse pants are also excellent and even more comfortable, they are synthetic and probably less hard wearing as a result. Fit is as per the Stryke pant. 5.11 Ridgeline pants are almost identical to the Stryke, but have jean cut rear pockets and no thigh pockets. They are slightly more smart than casual. They are made of the same material as the Stryke pant and fit the same. I own both styles and they are excellent. I am not retained by 5.11.....

It is hard to put into words how brilliant these trousers actually are. I own several pairs, and they're basically the only trousers I ever wear now! The pockets etc. you can see in the photos and get more info on from the description... what's important about this review is that the QUALITY is spot on! The zipper is YKK (made in Japan) and your fingers would probably break long before the zip ever would... not that you will need to put that much effort into zipping/unzipping these trousers, as YKK zippers are well known for their smooth action. The crotch is gusseted, and reinforced. For those of us who spend a lot of time working in the forest, where squatting, crouching and lunge-like movements are the norm, this is a godsend! I cannot tell you how many pairs of cheap generic trousers I've busted the crotch on just because they weren't designed with practicality in mind. They have elastic reliefs on the waist (two, one on either side) which allow you to move them around more easily when you need to... yet the elastic is incredibly high-grade and doesn't sag, so they always return to a snug fit. They also have about twice as many belt loops as typical trousers, which means your belt won't bust a loop no matter the load you're carrying on it (those of us in the forest carry knives, machetes, axes on loops, folding saws in sheaths etc on our belt when they're in use). The buttons at the waist are brilliantly sewn, and despite constant use they show no signs of slacking or weakening. The fit is spot on for boots, they aren't tight anywhere, nor do they sag anywhere. It's as though they were tailored just for me... and assuming you buy the correct size for yourself, I'm betting you'll feel the same when you put yours on! The material they're made of does indeed stop the propagation of tears/cuts (I had the misfortune of catching the knee on one of my pairs with the tip of my knife... and while it did of course cut through the outer layer, the cut is tiny and has not propagated in any direction). The knees allow you to insert pads (and apparently - though I've yet to try - the butt has room to insert a pad too). They are coated so that they resist water and grime... so I strongly advise against using any fabric conditioner on them when washing! If you notice the coating losing effect, buy a spray bottle of proofing for breathable fabrics and follow its instructions to reproof them. My first pair still haven't needed reproofing... and I've been using them extensively for a year! They're tough enough to withstand the trials of the great outdoors, yet smart enough to appear before Her Majesty at Whitehall should the need ever arise. Whether you work in an office or with an axe in the great outdoors... you will LOVE these trousers!

Amazing product. I purchased it for the bicycle mainly but I love it so much that I also wear it on my every day use. In fact, I will be ordering more in different colours. The material is extremely good quality feeling and very strong. The pockets are technically all over the pants. I like those pockets on the legs with a divided and a full size in fornt ot each other so you can chose which ever you prefer. Also the small pocket on the side I use it for my keys, amazing, they safely fit as it is deep enough. Just be careful with the size. I am using W32/H32 pants, jeans, etc. so I ordered same size. It is fine but honestly almost too big because of the expandable stretchy design. So some of you might wanna go with one size smaller and most probably still would be just fine. Basically if you get your actual size, it is gonna be more leisure, if you go one size down, then it will be somewhat more tight. But overall it is beyond anything. A bit on the expensive side but I think it is still worth. I just wish there was some promo as buy 2 get 3 or some sort of discount.

These Work Pants are up there with the best. I spent £75 on my first pair and couldn't argue with the price tag at all, though the price has now exceeded what I am willing to pay! Very comfortable and move with you all the way - advice = Size down Not like wearing cheaper, more restricted and non fitting varieties - even the well common market brands! If your wearing work pants, all day long, why compromise on comfort and practical application? The negative if i must is, that the front Stud Clip has failed and as in the picture, the lower clip bar has sunk in, which has removed its ability to grip fully and just detaches as soon as you move around and no, its not a waist size issue! The other is the inner button that is tight and difficult to fasten, the hole is a tad too small. So tight in fact, you have to forced the button in with the sense that there is excessive strain being placed on both the stiches and the button itself. I will re purchase at some point

These are excellent trousers. Normally I wear jeans but these feel so much more comfortable. Having 6 pockets is a big plus for me (they advertise 12 pockets which is because the thighs pockets are divided in three compartments, and the knees inside pockets are useless). The pants stretch and adapt to whatever you are doing, like wearing a pajama, right from day one. They are moderately water (splash) proof. The waist feels a bit to 'high' but it's okay. I am 31/32 so I bought a 30/32 hoping that the stretchy waist would sort it, but in fact the elasticated strips do not even engage and I actually need to wear a belt, so in other words, to me, **the waist has a VERY generous fit**, maybe I should have bought a 28/32. Anyway, I bought these for cycling (perfect!) but now I am using them all day long. I would definitely recommend these pants for everyday use especially in summer, or even in winter with some leggings. PS I am editing my review because I got annoyed from the super sticky Velcro on the four pockets, it actually requires some force to open them (and lots of noise so everyone knows I am pulling my wallet out). I put some small Velcro strips to partially cover the Velcro. I have also sewed shut the inside pockets in the leg pockets so I can slide in my tablet and stuff easily without obstruction. In fact I find these pouches inside the legs pockets a bit annoying (not all of us carry pistol magazines after all). The only disappointment is that as per photo, the 30" waist is actually a 32".

I have been looking for a pair of work trousers for ages. I get reasonable use out of my usual go to brand especially when you consider I crawl around is voids and small spaces where normal cotton style work trousers are easily ripped. Reading the reviews I decided on getting a pair of these and to be honest I wasn't expecting the quality to be so good. These trousers are well put together, the stitching is excellent and the material very robust. They seem to shed dirt and dust too. I was surprised by the quality finish so much so I ordered another pair a few days later. The material holds up well, has slight stretch increasing comfort and has more than enough pockets should you need them. They feel like they will outlast any trousers I have used before. I'm really impressed.

These are incredible trousers. Well made, well finished and fit perfectly. The two way stretch fabric makes them comfortable for moving in and the stain resistant coating makes them tough and resilient. The pockets are perfectly placed and securely fastened. This is my third pair of these stryke trousers. I can't recommend them more highly than that!

Awesome trousers. I think they are the only 5.11 trousers that fit a normal sized butt. Most 5.11 trousers fit very poorly if you don't have a big butt. The side combat pockets are just at the right height. By that I mean with them being higher than other manufacturer's pockets, stuff you put in them does not swing around as much and they are also easier to open without leaning over to one side to reach the pocket. They also have a slightly elasticated waist to allow for a changing waistline or for more latitude on sizing accuracy. All in all a fantastic pair of trousers. Just a little too expensive to have enough pairs.

Son como lo describe, el color tundra me lo imaginé un poco más oscuro, talla 32x32 - mido 1.72 aprox 79 kg, me quedaron muy bien.

Die Hose gefällt mir wirklich sehr gut. Angezogen und gleich wohlgefühlt. Der Preis ist m.M.n. voll gerechtfertigt. Prima finde ich die für die Hände sehr gut zugänglichen, großen und offenen Taschen. Perfekt auch der elastische Bund oben, somit kann man auch die kleinere Hosengröße wählen, wenn man etwas bauchig ist. Die Hose sitzt dann perfekt am Po oder an den Beinen herum. Normalerweise trage ich Größe W36 32L, aufgrund des elastischen Bundes habe ich auch die Größe W34 L32 probiert (hatte beide bestellt) und siehe da, es passt mir diese kleinere Größe besser und ist perfekt im Sitz (dank des elastischen Bundes). Alles ist sehr gut verarbeitet und an den Knien und an anderen stärker beanspruchten Stellen ist alles gut verstärkt. Ich habe die Farbe Khaki gewählt, die Farbe ist nicht ganz so hell und weißlich wie auf den Fotos sondern eher sandfarben. Sieht aber alles ganz gut aus und ich denke diese Hose wird mir lange Zeit Freude bereiten. Fürs Büro im Sommer auch sehr gut geeignet, da sehr gut und elegant strukturiert. Klare Kaufempfehlung meinerseits

Very comfy and very durable

It very good i like it
