CQR Men’s Tactical Pants, Water Resistant Ripstop Cargo Pants, Lightweight EDC Hiking Work Pants, Outdoor Apparel Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry

I got these for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift. He loved them, washed them, and wore them to work. He decided to ride his scooter that day. On his was home he took a corner too fast, worried he was going to miss the train. As you can expect, gravity decided that it was game on.The left side of his face and somehow his right leg slammed into the concrete. His face was bruised and had road rash (the beanie he wore offering a little protection). He has one heck of a black eye. But the right leg is merely bruised. It was barely scaped and even though he was very concerned he had ripped the pants to shreds, they were a little scuffed but not really damaged.He was grateful he was wearing those pants. He was sure that if he had been wearing his regular pants, his leg would have tried to contest his face for damage. He immediately bought 3 more pairs. He said he appreciated how they also kept him warmer while riding than the other types pants he wears. So, yeah, no regerts.

Hope this helps: I am 5-11, 210 and usually wear a 34X32 to 36X32 depending on manufacturer. (I’m more of a 35X32, but try finding that). With that said, and after reading others’ sizing input, I went with 36WX32L.After 1st washing and try on, fits well (little loose still on waist but good.I think if I went with the 34, it would have been tight.) I was reluctant on length as I normally go with the ‘R’ regular or ‘S’ short lengths (my inseam actually a 31). Glad I went the L (long), will work well with footwear. I suspect if I went with ‘R’, it would have been a bit too short.* Great pants and well constructed. Will buy again if needed.

I’m a 59 year old, overweight, woman 5’3” about 195 lbs. I find it difficult to get women’s pants that fit comfortably and have “real” pockets that are actually useful. I often end up getting men’s pants. Carrying a purse is not practical for me, so pockets are important. I carry lots of stuff. The stuff needs to stay in the pockets and the pants need to still be comfortable with the stuff in the pockets. I also need to be able to have quick access to my stuff.I purchased two pair of tactical pants to compare. I like both and will be keeping both.The Proper woman’s size 18 were not hemmed and I needed to do that myself. I could not find a good match for this gray color for the thread. Doing my own hem is alright as I can give a bit of extra length for blousing my pants with my boots. The CQR are men’s size 38×30. As you can see from the photos, both fit very similarly.The Proper fabric is heavier and thus also hotter in the Southcentral KY summer heat and humidity. The gray color is quite different between the two. I like the Proper color just a bit more than the CQR.The pocket on the right front thigh was significantly different. My cellphone (iPhone XR) fits better in the Proper pants. The pocket is just a bit wider. The CQR pocket is barely wide enough to get my cellphone in. This pocket on the CQR is also canted towards the side seam. This makes it uncomfortable when sitting with the cellphone in the pocket and very difficult to get the phone out. If sitting, it is nearly impossible to remove the cellphone from that pocket on with the CQR pair. I can get my phone out of the pocket while sitting with the Proper pair. And, having the phone in the pocket while sitting is much more comfortable with the Proper pair.The internal fly button on the Proper pants is more robust and stitched more securely. The CQR button is smaller. Both are about as difficult to button and unbutton.The CQR fabric is thinner. This makes them a little lighter in the summer heat. However, the material inside the front pockets is also much thinner. I’m expecting my stuff to wear through this material fairly quickly. The material inside the front pockets on the Proper pair is much heavier. These pockets feel sturdy and I expect my stuff to be carried securely, longer. The trade off for the heavier pocket material is this adds weight/bulk and that makes the Proper pants hotter for the summer.The back pockets on the Proper pants do not have cover flaps. They are closed with hook & loop part way across. I can get my hands in fairly easily, but plant debris also gets inside. The CQR pants back pockets have cover flaps.The small pocket on the left front thigh is smaller/narrower on the CQR pants. This means my minimal wallet is a very tight fit. The canted angle also makes it difficult to remove my wallet from the pocket while sitting. I don’t carry my magazines in this pocket, I prefer the belt for that. My wallet is more comfortable in the Proper pants and I can easily remove it while sitting. Makes the drive through ATM much easier.The CQR pants pockets are placed with an odd angle. I suppose this was don’t with the intention of making them more easily accessible. But, having worn BDU for many years, I’m not accustomed to the angle and it just feels weird to me. I prefer the straight placement of the proper pants pockets.Bottom line, both pairs of pants are similar in fit. The CQR pair is lighter for the heat of summer, but this may lead to mom them not lasting as long under field use. The Proper pants are hotter. Being an older lady who is carrying too much body fat, I’m also stuck wearing thigh high compression stockings. This makes the Proper pants very hot outdoors. Both CQR and Proper do not slide easily over the compression stocking. Both seem to bind my knees when I sit even when I hike them up at my he pockets before I sit.The 30” inseam with the CQR pants as well as my own hemming of the Proper pants allows me to easily blouse my pants with my boots.Both pairs have a gap at the rear when I sit, even wearing a belt. Thus, a tucked in shirt, of untucked with extra length is necessary for me. No “plumbers butt” for me.I give both pairs of pants five stars. I’ll have to post an update in a few months after I see how well each pair of pants holds up to my farming and field work.

I see a lot of reviews stating how they are too baggy or too long but it seems like they are tailor made for me. I wear the 38 X 32 and am 6’3″ 220 pounds and the length and wide is perfect. I don’t even have to wear a belt with them since they stay on. I am able to do yard work and they are able to flex with me doing odd movements around trees. I really like the deep pockets, but haven’t had much use for the additional pockets even though I tend to carry a lot of stuff. I really love and never seen the smartphone pocket that exposes the top part of your phone. I use that when I am near my house but afraid to lose it in public in case it falls out, but it seems like it will keep it in place. I bet every single pants in the future will have that feature since people are addicted to their phones. If I had to nitpick I wish they had made another set of deep pockets that are the same as the two main ones on the sides since I use them more often for ease of access and size.

Okay first I bought papa bear a size 32w because that’s the size he actually wears but when he put them on it was so much extra material around the legs it looked like he was wearing those “diaper pants that justin beiber wore” Thus, sent them back and ordered next size down (30) they still fit around the waste and so much better around the thighs.Now to the pants themselves. I bought them because Papa Bear does landscaping. So these pants have enough pockets for his phone (without falling out) for his headphones case and for all his little tools he keeps in his pockets for quick accessibility. They are also thick enough that he no longer gets knicks or scratches from flying rocks or twigs or what ever else that gets kicked up at him from the job. Now even though they are thick enough for protection the material is still comfortable enough so he doesn’t feel like he is overheating. This is a big deal because we live in Arizona the average is like 113 in the summer. This is all coming from him. So I just ordered another pair and will be ordering another when a certain color comes availble in his size.Update; got the second pair. Still ordered one size smaller and they are still great pants!!!
