Description
Kangaroo brings a warm, earthy tone to the Ridge Pant range, suited to outdoor adventurers, tradies, and everyday users who want function that doesn't scream tactical. The 5.11 Tactical Ridge Pant delivers rugged performance while maintaining a clean, tailored look, perfect for high-action environments or everyday wear on the trail or the job site.
The 6.4 oz Flex-Tac canvas body handles the daily abuse of trade work and outdoor use, while 4.7 oz stretch panels (87% polyester / 13% elastane) at the seat and knee let you climb ladders, crouch on site, or scramble over terrain without the fabric fighting back. Eight low-profile pockets, including zippered cargo storage, carry tools and gear securely without the bulk that snags on gear or scrub. A DWR finish means dust and grime wipe off rather than grinding into the fabric, so the Kangaroo tone still looks presentable at the end of a long day. The straight fit and flexible waistband round out a pant equally at home on the trail or at the desk afterward.
