The best new tactical jeans have arrived. The Advanced Stretch Technology makes these jeans remarkably comfortable to wear in any position. I can crouch, run, or kneel down without worrying about constriction. It’s a relief to have a gusseted crotch as I can manspread without worrying about getting these jeans ripped.

I’m pleasantly surprised to find 13 pockets plotted on these pants. With this number of compartments, I can store almost everything, from wallets to rifle mags and other EDC items, to make me prepared for any situation. Thanks to the Appendix Carry CCW Holder, I can conceal a large gun more easily.

What made me love these jeans is the comfort-stretch rear yoke, which prevents my buttocks from being seen when I bend over. The belt loops are another feature I appreciate. They’re extra-wide to somewhat support a large utility belt and the additional weight of other EDC gear.

Just a few years back, tactical pants took the market by storm. As far as most people know, 5.11 was the first to develop a "tactical pant." Truth is, tactical pants have been around for decades. It's not until recently that we've seen a resurgence  in the tactical pant space. With new materials and designs, tactical pants have gone from being worn on the job or on the range to being worn every day.

So what exactly are "tactical pants?" In this article I'm going to answer that question and provide some insight into what to look for in a pair of tactical pants. Whether you're a police officer, security guard or just an EDC or CCW citizen, I'll break down the pros, cons and what to look for so you can make an informed decision when it comes to buying the best tactical pants.
