mattmanic Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hello, I need some new trousers but I'm not sure what brand to get. I was looking at these: http://www.body-armour-protection.co.uk/buy/5-11-Tactical-Taclite-Pro-Pants.html http://www.warfighters.co.uk/detail.asp?c_urn=1297&cart_urn=582634&urn=12528 Which is better? They're both about the same price (£40) And is there anything else I should look at? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hello, I need some new trousers but I'm not sure what brand to get.

They're both about the same price (£40) And is there anything else I should look at? Thanks I'd go with the 5.11 trousers, personally. I have two pairs in black that I use every other day at work, and they're brilliant. Very comfortable, much more so than Tru-Spec BDUs, and they've got pockets virtually everywhere. I've been airsofting in them a few times as well, and they repel moisture pretty well. If it's raining lightly, you're good. If you fall in a pond, they probably won't help.

jkpics Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I am replacing my 511's with tru-spec 24/7's, the only thing 511 do better is the cell phone pocket, 24/7's are imho better in every way. Link to post Share on other sites
Kousnik Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Id go for the tru spec. Purely my personal preference, but ive always found a lot of what is good about 5.11 is its reputation rather than the product itself (hate me). and am i the only one who expected the topic to have different content, based from the title?

mattmanic Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 what? im the only one who expected to see a somewhat graphic picture? It seems like it. I've just discovered that 2 pairs of trousers that I thought were fine, don't actually fit me so I need some more. What is the difference between the Tactical Combat Trouser and the 24/7 series? I can't seem to find the 24/7s in the UK. I already have some Tru Spec TRU trousers in multicam and they're great but a bit expensive so I'd be inclined to go for Tru Specs rather than 5.11. As I know the sizing and everything... Link to post Share on other sites

mattmanic Posted April 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Ok, looks like Tru Spec 24/7 it is. Thanks guys Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted April 13, 2010 Report Share Posted April 13, 2010 I've been using 5.11 trousers for the last year of heavy harsh use, they've faded a bit but are holding strong constuction wise. Will be moving onto the new Blackhawk Warrior Wear trousers soon, they look very nice and are a simialr price (£40ish) - Clicky! Link to post Share on other sites
