5.11 Stryke Pant with Flex-Tac

Great trousers and strong

I was wondering at first what I was doing paying near £80 for a pair of trousers… but then I did a shift in them. It is a relatively big investment but I wasn’t disappointed and I would buy again. Good comfortable fit, a bit of stretch so you can move and plenty of pockets!

The standard uniform trousers my force issues are terrible. Hardly anybody wears them, which means everyone is in the market for new pairs of trousers.

I must have spent over the years a good couple hundred on cheap trousers which lasted a few washes before losing their colour, and all of which ripping within a few months. After my last pair of Primani ones ripped during the pandemic, I decided to take the plunge and actually spend some decent money on a good pair.

These are fantastic. They retain their colour, quality with every stitch, deep pockets with separated parts within the pockets themselves for quick access to items, it's genuinely like they thought of everything. The waistband has an enclosed elastic waist which is very comfortable too. The legs are very much a straight cut however, these aren't slim fit at all. May be worth getting some cheap trouser twists to help the fit on the leg if you prefer it slimmer.

Don't buy cheap, definitely just buy these twice.

Must say my first impressions is that I’m very impressed. I’ve always worn the crappy cotton tactical trousers supplied by stores, but I thought I’d treat myself. I haven’t worn them on duty yet but have had a quick try on and tested them with some lunges and squats. The difference in the range of movement is night and day, and they are far more comfortable. Only draw backs were they are slightly tighter around the thigh than I would expect from a tactical trouser, but this doesn’t limit movement due to the flexible material , just feels strange. And the button at the front doesn’t seem like it’s sewn on very well, so will be redone by myself. Prior to buying I was torn between these and the tac lite pro which are cheaper, but I’m glad I bought these and will definitely be buying another pair.

What can I say about these trousers. They're extremely comfortable and look like I'm going to get great wear out of them. The addition of the extra knee pads will also help - not purchased them yet though..!!

I had an issue with my original order but was dealt with extremely quickly and was resolved the same day. I can't recommend Patrol Store enough and they will definitely be getting repeat orders from me
