Born In Yosemite. Forged In Quantico. Built for More.
The name 5.11 comes from the climbing scale used on the granite walls of Yosemite.
It marks a level where precision matters and gear has to perform.
The Original 5.11 Pant was built with that same mindset.
Early climbers needed pants that could handle abrasive granite,
move through high steps and wide positions,
and last through long days on the wall.
The solution was simple and purpose built.
Durable cotton canvas
Reinforced stress points
Bar-tacked seams
Gusseted construction for full range of motion
Every detail had a purpose.
Every reinforcement solved a real problem.
What started on the rock quickly proved valuable far beyond it.
Today, the Original 5.11 Pant is trusted by professionals and worn by people who expect more from their gear.
On the job. On the trail. And everywhere in between.
The Original 5.11 Pant Features
Durable Construction
Quarter-inch double-needle stitching, reinforced seat and knees, and bar-tacked stress points provide long-lasting strength.

Love em
Been a fan of all things 5.11 for twenty years.They never wear out.Very comfortable and enough pockets to carry anything I’ll need .
I ordered two pairs of the originals.One of them was perfect and I love them.The other was smaller even though I ordered both in a 40 x 34 size.I will definitely order again but I will double check the sizes before taking off the tags as I am unsure of the accuracy of the waist sizes.
Fuctional, in every way, tough under real and abussive conditions, and at an affordable price.I've had these for years for tactical, hiking, climbing.As a Male; these pants, long or short, are what I call "real" mens pants, not "city boy look alike".Expect a little shrinkge after washing
Well done 5-11 Tactical!

My husband likes them because they are comfortable.We like that they are 100% cotton.He says that I could have ordered a smaller waist size because of the stretchable waistband and it will take time for him to get used to the back pocket because it is so long and his wallet sits lower.
