If you’re looking for a pair of tactical pants – you’re in the right place.
You see, I recently switched from wearing “hard pants” (i.e., jeans) to comfortable tactical pants FULL TIME.
And I’m never going back.
Since I’ve made the switch, I’m more comfortable AND more ready for anything!
Tactical pants are lifesavers regardless of what your day brings; from the job site to the backcountry.
I’m talking about lightweight, abrasion-resistant pants ready for combat, the sun, fierce winds, or torrential downpours.
Because the best tactical pants are ones you’ll gladly wear every single day.
That’s why today I’m going to share my favorite tactical pants. Specifically, I’ll be covering the following:
-
5.11 TacLite Pro Pants
-
CQR EDC Assault Cargo Pants
-
Dickies Canvas Tactical Pants
-
Helicon-Tex Urban Tactical Pants
-
AKARMY Combat Work Pants
-
5.11 Stryke Tactical Pants

Best Gear For Your New Tactical Cargo Pants
Now, everyone’s situation is different and what you stash in your tactical pants is your choice.
It also depends on what other tactical gear you wear (i.e., tactical plate carrier, tactical backpack, etc.)
Here’s a list of popular everyday carry items for your new tactical pants:
- Concealed Carry Firearm
- Spare Magazines
- Cellphone or Smartphone
- Super-bright Tactical Flashlight
- Tactical Wallet or Money Clip
- Tactical Knife / Survival Knife / EDC Knife
- Important Documents
- Fire Starters (Ferro rod / fire piston) / Survival Lighter
- Small Survival Water Filter
- Tactical Pen
- Portable Solar Charger
Of course, I didn’t list every possible piece of gear. So if you feel like I missed something critical, leave a note in the comments below.
Final Thoughts
Tactical items are becoming more mainstream for everyone. Why? Because they blend comfort, function, AND style.
Tactical products now range from tactical backpacks to tactical watches…
And when it comes to choosing a pair of tactical pants, it all comes down to your specific needs and requirements.
For example, if you’re looking for a solid pair of pants for the job site, I’d get a pair made of canvas cotton. It’s got superior durability on its side.
But if your pair of pants is for wilderness survival – go synthetic.
The good news is no matter which you choose; all survival pants should have these standard features:
- multiple pockets
- durable construction
- athletic cut for mobility, including gusseted crotch
- technical materials
- designed with utility belt (and holster) in mind – check out our survival belts article for a quality belt to add to your tactical pants
Beyond that, think about what you’d like in a regular pair of pants – since you might want to wear these daily.
- If you like a modern slim cut, look for tactical pants with some stretch and a closer cut.
- If you prefer (like me) a more relaxed cut, there are options with and without stretch material.
- Wet weather means you might want to avoid cotton, while hot, dry conditions might be perfect for it.
I also know I don’t want to cross over to draw my tactical knife every time. So if you’re a lefty, make sure you configure your pocket gear for how you like to carry it.
And if you ever do get dropped off in the remote jungle without your pants, good luck with those palm leaves.
