A deal on Pants made of win
Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2009 11:31 pm
I recently purchased a pair of 5.11 pants and belt combo from LA Police Gear. Normally I stay away from 5.11 gear because of the price, but LA Police Gear had these and a pair of 5.11 pants I can use for work at a good price so I went ahead ordered. The whole thing, belt and pants is $30, which is what just the belts are selling for on other sites so I figured it should be a good deal.
The belt is nicely constructed. It is stiff without being too thick and will easily support a gun and then some. The belt also has a place to hide a handcuff key so when I am captured by blue helmets/Obamamanics/Bigfoot etc I can escape. The pants fit well, though I was hoping the side cargo pockets would be a bit bigger. As it is I can fit a 1911 mag or a cellphone in them, but not my wallet. The front pockets are nice and roomy but the special mag pouches hidden behind a zipper are a bit weird. Perhaps they would be good for candybar storage!
Anyway I just thought I would let you all know about this in case you needed a belt and/or khakis. I will probably order another pair, though I don't know what I'll do with another belt.
