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.

Excellent pants, comfortable, well made, great fit.

Nothing comes close to these pants. I have every colour.
Great pants
It is hard to find work pants that fit when you are 6'8" tall.
Pants fit great and will be purchasing some more.
These are excellent. Super comfortable. Im a 38 waist but could have handled a 36 in these i think. Legs and , seat and length perfect. Very easy to wear.
GREAT PRODUCTS AAA +++
These are my fourth pair of Stryke shorts. I wear them constantly, and unfortunately got paint on my last pair. Love the style and fit. Hard wearing.
Brilliant set of pants. Stretch is nice, fit is true to size and the pocket layout is excellent for pretty much any role. Highly recommend.

I love the 5.11 pants I have been wearing them for years, even though they are a little pricey they definitely are worth the money
Always a good product
5.11 pants in my humble opinion, are the best product on the market. They are durable comfortable and and have great pocket sizes. And on some models get them in a range of colours. They are not your typical traditional cargo pants they keep up with modern tastes and are subtle enough to ware out on casual outings.
Great quality will definitely be buying more
Perfect fit , comfy , plenty pockets and plenty of flexibility
Ive been in the police 20 years and these are the best pants ive ever had. Not sure why the force wastes tine doing cargo pant reviews when they could just get these? Comfy, stretchy, good pocket placement. Will but more
Smart looking pants, comfortable and practicable.
Very happy with these versatile effective pants. Great to have all the pockets. Also great to be able to wear these on the executive arena also.
Awesome pants
Made so well
Easy to see why 5 .11 kit rocks
Bought two pairs of these pants and they fit perfectly and are very comfortable, I would recommend these for active/ hiking wear👍
Awesome trousers
I think that these are a must have for shooting, great fit, extra pockets and a really nice waist fitting as they are stretchy so they form a perfect fit. I'll get some shorts next!
I learnt about Tacsource 8 years ago and have since ordered 5 pairs of 5.11 Stryke pants. They are comfortable to wear and I love the additional pockets at the front for storage of items. Definitely a top notch product. Thanks Tacsource.
Good tactical pant for security work, hard
They are the best work pants for custodial officers with the 4 way stretch .
Great pants, they clip on the button with is a plus, stretchy and pockets are good and baggy enough to sort through on the go.
Very happy with the product. Prompt delivery.
