Description
Black is the workhorse colourway of the 5.11 Tactical Stryke® Pant range, the one plainclothes officers and security professionals reach for when the job demands a clean, professional look with none of the compromise on function. Built from 6.8 oz Flex-Tac ripstop with genuine two-way mechanical stretch, the fabric moves through vehicle entries, foot pursuits, and long shifts without binding or restricting. A DWR finish keeps the black finish looking sharp by repelling the stains and soil that would otherwise dull a lighter colourway within weeks.
Storage runs deep, with 12 total pockets including the signature double-deep cargo pockets with their distinctive oblique pleats and asymmetrical flap, plus reinforced front pockets sized specifically for EDC knives and flashlights. The gusseted build and articulated, kneepad-ready knees deliver genuine mobility, while a self-adjusting tunnel waistband holds the fit through a full shift without cinching or slipping. Rinse-washed for immediate comfort out of the packet, with bartacking at every stress point and premium YKK® zippers and Prym® snaps throughout.
