Reviews

practical and durable pants

"Bought two pairs of these 6 years ago. They were beginning to show some wear after some heavy use (yes, they do last that long) so I bought another two pairs. The fit is the same. The fabric is slightly thicker and a tad stiffer but feels even more durable (a plus in my book). Love the way they think at Propper!"

"I love them I usually wear 5. 11 but these solved the high cost issue and the overall quality is amazing def ordering more"

Sizing isn’t consistent.

"I bought 4 pair of pants from this brand. 2 summer weight tactical pants and 2 lightweight tactical pants. All 4 pants I ordered in the same size, 32x36. The summer weight fit perfect on the waist and length. The other two pants are over an inch away from buttoning. Pretty piss poor if you ask me. You would think an online store would keep the sizing the same across the board. Apparently you not."

Waist button on both pants

"Waist button on both pants not very sturdy, pops open with just about any movement. Made in India. The pants I have, made in Pakistan & Hati, has a better-quality button, no issues. Other than that, these pants are very functional and comfortable"

Q&A

Does it have a button or snap closure?
The F5252 Tactical pants have a snap closure.
Men’s Lightweight Tactical Pant Are these pants true to size. I usually wear a 36x32 Levi's but the waist is a bit tight on me. How much does the waist give on these? Will that provide enough to give me some breathing room?
Yes, these pants are true to size and feature an action-stretch waistband that provides a bit of give for added comfort. If a 36 waist in Levi’s feels tight, the stretch should offer some breathing room, but if you prefer a more relaxed fit, sizing up may be a good option.
Pants with an inseam less than 30 I need a 28 do you have it in any tactical pants
We do not currently offer a 28" inseam. Our shortest inseam on all pants is going to be 30".
Do these pants have a pocket deep inside the right front pocket. I have 3 pair of propper pants I bought six years ago that has this deep pocket inside the front right pocket. Perfect for conceal carrying a little 380.
Both cargo pockets on these pants are about 6" deep and do not have additional pockets inside them.
Will the belt loops accept a 2in belt
Yes, these will allow for a 2" belt. The loop should measure at 2.5"
