New 5.11 Pants I Like by Nutnfancy

[@mattv2099]

The operators I operate with refer to 5.11 pants as "nutnfancy pants."

[@mattv2099]

hey ***** check out my first comment on nutnfancy's latest vid. did I do good?

[@orionrj16]

MattV2099: Guns & Food I'm sure he'll approve.

[@biteme3989]

nutnfancy pants for all your glock brand glock assualt clipazines

[@TommyboyGTP]

Nut in my fancy pants? What?

[@GlocknadeClipazine]

But how many Twinkies can they carry? That's the real question.

[@MAlford65]

I work as an LEO in Georgia and I wear the Stryke pants in TDU Green on duty(our policy calls for TDU Green 5.11 pants). I've never worn a more comfortable and durable pair of pants. The Stryke pants do in fact have the internal pockets for knee pads.

[@UnrulyTenEight]

I'm jealous man... We have a choice of wool pants or paper thin Blauers. Talk about old school.

[@MAlford65]

UnrulyTenEight We have rivers and dense woods in our city. Our Chief knew that we needed a practical uniform. Some admins just haven't caught on yet I'd imagine.

[@Germfish]

me ski Douche.

[@MAlford65]

me ski You're the sunshine in my rainy day.

[@MAlford65]

***** Well, we have a specific uniform we have to wear, it's just more practical.

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Chancho, sometimes... when you are a man... you wear stretchy 5.11 pants in your room. Is for fun.

[@chriskelly509]

will these fit my phat ass?

[@morbidminister6669]

lmao NAAAAACHOOOOO

[@thedefinitive6296]

I'm always so wowed when I see Mrs. Nutn in a video. She's such beauty and it's always good to see her in the project! Those are some great looking pants though! I've gotta get me some. I would just wear them for the functionality alone.

[@johnchristopher20]

We need some Mrs. Nutnfancy videos to encourage female shooters, preppers and whatevers! Convince her! Also, you are dead on with clips. I have been wearing a knife and penlight in my 511 pants. No problems until the weather turned cold enough for me to switch from a jacket to a coat. Suddenly, my light went missing. Found it. Fourth time I realized I had a problem. More that an inch exposed above the pocket was enough for my long coat to snag and drag. Deep clips needed. Thanks for the heads up, it helps us when we pull our heads out!

[@americankulak8301]

I'd love it if 5.11 came out with a "professional" line of clothing for those that have a suit and tie job. Something durable with quality stitching that can handle a concealed carry EDC system. I love the look, but hate how dress slacks are so nonutilitarian compared to 5.11s or a quality denim.

[@FOGHORNNC]

+1 to that.

[@Hunter_Johnson]

Shoulder holster? That's what my father uses when he has to wear his suit for court duty.

[@americankulak8301]

***** I'd love to wear shoulder holsters, but I don't have what Nutn calls "real estate" for it. It works for average-larger frame people, but not for the beanpole folk. Especially with tailored, slim-fit clothing. It's just too much printing when mum's the word. But my original post was about the POU of dress clothing. Most are designed for people that are rarely active in them and not made to have more than a phone or wallet in the pockets and they snag and fray ridiculously easy. When appearances matter, it's hard to sell yourself with wear marks around the pockets and knees. And quality slacks or stupid expensive compared to jeans.

[@nicklong4855]

I switched from the taclite pros to the stryke series about a year ago now and couldn't be happier. They have two knife pockets that are rather wide allowing me to rock a leatherman and ld22 in one pocket and a pen and knife in the other. I also like the internal webbing in the cargo pockets as this allows me to keep two spare mags in the left and they maintain their orientation. Not the quickest for reloads but it's better than not having a spare.

[@tacticalveterinarian]

I wear the 5.11 Covert Khakis 2.0 almost daily. Great for work indoors and outdoor use! Now if only they could make a few more colors available...

[@bronzebow4235]

Those pants are super comfortable too. Very very nice pants. Used them as Opfor during some training and they took the abuse very well. Washed great too.

[@bronzebow4235]

Stryker pants.

[@therongodbold9440]

The canvas pants are amazing in certain pou's. I have property in Texas and they are great when you are worried about thorns sticks cactus...and the pockets make it easy to carry tools or mags when hunting or fixing fence. Barn wire didn't even bug me a second.

[@IYHuckleberry]

I have a pair of Nike sweatpants of similar material to the Mountaineer pants snown...incredibly lite and comfortable. I like the new Stryke front pocket with the notch cutout over the slanted or elongated radius cutouts. It just gives it a less tactical, sharper look.

[@Quagmire88]

I still have yet to try these pants. I have been rock'n the Tru-Spec tactical pants for a while and love em.

[@LS61970Chevelle]

I really love my old tac lites! After 2 years of constant wear I have managed to wear a hole in them just above the back pocket where my iwb holster'e clips ride. I think it might be time to upgrade to these bad boys! I'm really liking that new angled pocket.

[@Chem_Trail_Survivor]

I've been wearing the stryke pants for a while now and I love them! They look less tactical than the tac light pros so they're more discrete and you don't get flack from the ladys.

[@wingmanlg]

My wife got me 2 pairs for xmas and I love them. Wore them around on a few day hikes and I prefer them over some of my north face/Columbia pairs. They are not as light but are more durable and the pockets are better placed than in any other pair of pants I own.

[@jason-ge5nr]

Those would be good for my urban pharmaceutical distribution business.

[@SinderSetawa]

i freakin love the 5.11 pants. wear them almost every day of the year for everything i do. from parkour to hiking 14ers to lounging around. most comfortable pants ive ever owned with the greatest utility.

[@notanotherstep]

ive had a pair of the stryke pants for a couple years now and i love them very comfortable and they hold all my metaphorical crap which is a big bonus.

[@Thermopylae2007]

Yes, I'll have to admit that 5.11 owes Nutn for the four Taclite Pro Pants that I picked up since watching his reviews. So far I've been really happy with them, along with a few other clothing items that he's helped me to decide about.

[@LOMROB]

I own several pairs of 5.11 pants. Recently bout a pair of the Strykers. At first, I was hesitant because of the cost. So glad, I took a chance. I love them and plan on buying more for sure. Awesome!

[@gummybear41283]

LOMROB I have 3 pairs or strikers and 1 traverse

[@SuperEddiew1]

LOVE your clothing reviews Nutn! I was hoping you'd review the newer 5.11 stuff. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@Bstoy21]

Hey nutnfancy I respect what you do and love your videos you got me into guns I'm 16 and love to buy gear, hall of famers, knives, and you don't get half of the credit that you deserve! You really inspired me nutn!! Been a subscriber since atleast 2009 I'd love to meet you and shake your hand some day!!

[@BpMetalMilitia]

I wear the Stryker 5.11 pants everyday since 2012. Best EDC pants ever. I can carry 3 magazines, big folding Spartan blade, Streamlight Tac AA, wallet, comb, keys, and 5" smartphone. Front two cut pockets are the best; I can carry extra standard capacity 15 rd magazine on the left cut pocket and Sparta blade on the right cut pocket. My EDC pants have wore really well played with them in urban training, blue collar work, auto mechanic, and washable over-over. Owned them almost four years, amazing. Expensive at $75 a pant but well worth every penny time after time. Buying more later. Need discount. Highly recommended.

[@onpoint1977]

I love my tac lite pros and really like the revamped Stryker design. Thanks Nuttn

[@opmike343]

These are available at Gander Mountain and Academy Sports, for anyone wanting to look at them in person.

[@BackFlippingHippos]

I wear the Stryke pants to work 2 days a week(I have 2 pairs lol.) I work in outdoor retail as an apparel manager. I have a suggestion for a new pant from 511 and I have made it to them. Hopefully it doesn't go straight to spam haha. Simply remove the cargo pockets from the Stryke pants but keep the two slip pockets. Remove the rip-stop box stitching in favor of a low key look. Add two(1 on each side) 1/2 inch wide 5 inch deep slip pocket for a pen/penlight about 2 1/2 to 3 inches below the main pockets along the seam line. Call them the COVRT Pant to go with the bag lineup or Office-Tac to go with the pant lineup. I think they would be their #1 selling pant and they could even get away with using a 100% cotton material as long as it has decent strength(and a non-visibly reinforced crotchal/taint region.) Most people need pants for their job. Also the main reason I hear from people not buying 511 pants is that they don't like the look for everyday wear. So in Nutnfancy terms haha.. The POU is an EDC pant for the office or otherwise. The SAWC will need to factor in LC meaning look constraint. We need regular and good looking khakis that sacrifice some firepower and mobility in favor of wear-ability.

[@TheWeasle408]

The pockets in the cargo pockets are great, unlike tactiles you can put your knife or mt in the cargo pocket and still run with it, also good for pens etc.

[@farmerboy916]

I was aware of 5.11, but did not know they made pants; they seem great, I'll have to think about getting some (I'm a bit sick and tired of jeans, but can get away with them here in California most of the time). I'd be quite interested in looking at more clothing, honestly

[@morbidminister6669]

glad i checked this out...got a pair of the tac lite pants sitting in my amazon shopping cart and was just about to check out lol. thanks again nutn

[@jgharts4949]

Beautiful production assistant Nutfancy! You might be my new hero!! lol

[@Paul_Waller]

I just got another pair of Tru-Spec 24-7 Series Poly/Cotton Ripstop Tactical Pants, last week. They are a good option, too.

[@geepcj2a]

Thanks nutn for the videos! Thanks Mrs nutn for helping out!

[@Heiserton]

I have the first gen on the first pair your showed, absolutely love them.

[@EDCAdventures]

Definitely will be picking up a pair of those Stryke pants. I have a pair of Travex pants by Eddie Bauer that are similar(to the 5.11 Traverse) but I like the 5.11 better w/o the elastic in the cargo pants though. 

[@hbomatt]

Bought a pair of the Stryke women's pant for my mom for Christmas. She said they were the most comfortable pair of pants she'd ever worn.

[@TXetc]

Love my Strykes! They look decent enough to wear around town and not all Tacticool, lol

[@Billsfan2012]

Great pants, good to see the Mrs. Nutnfancy. She always brightens up the video.

[@andrews2405]

I'm super hot batteries so those traverse pants would be a good long pants option for me in the 8 month South Carolina summer lol! Really want to try some!

[@SoWe1]

ah I love that front pocket design, there are two Fjäll Räven pants that have it and it's just the best.

[@sarinhighwind]

Stryke Pants nutnfancy I'm rolling those for the last year. Video coming out soon on them. I recommend them. Only one issue. Durability scale is low. 5.11 did warranty them for premature wear. 1 year warranty. Wallet is wearing a hole though the butt region. Fantastic otherwise. Utility pockets in odd spots. Take some getting used too.

[@ramsd1]

The Stryke pants are very comfortable. Been wearing for a few months and love it.

[@bjohnson7188]

Cool vid like tru specs a little better , the only pair of 5.11 I bought wore out in the knee after only a few wears. Still cut em off and wear around the house as shorts. Can Nutn pleeeeeese post the whole Troy night shoot with the ice fog. The pics and shorts looked awesome!

[@dcwi533]

I bought 3 pairs about 2 months ago. My wife likes the fit and appearance a lot better. I think they are considerably more comfortable. Nice upgrade over taclites IMO.

[@avifinkel4250]

I have been wearing the stryke pants for a few years now they are the best pants ever, its all i wear. just the dedicated phone pocket is a must have but everything about these pants are perfection

[@EatCarbs]

I reviewed those pants on my channel.. they're great. I don't wear anything else in the woods when I'm out there making fires and having fun. Thanks for the video. Gotta check those out.

[@thenextarcher]

I like the updated taclite pro pants. Although I already own about 7 pairs.

[@NotHisRealName]

I love their pants, but I had a pair of 5.11 boots that fell apart after 18 months of office use. Well... by fell apart I mean the fabric failed in two spots, along the stitching line. They were comfortable, and I've relegated them to garden work boots now. It's just disappointing that something that is targeted as a 'combat boot' would fail under such light conditions.

[@brianridgley940]

thank you for uploading I would have never heard of these without this video

[@chrsmdws1]

Love the cut and comfort of the Stryke Pants! A+++

[@awtmore]

The Stryke pant came out three years ago as a former uniform sales associate I find the Propper tactical pants superior like the STR pants and the District Chinos as a professional pair of pants which I wear as Station pants and as dress pants for church services. Just a FYI.

[@RoflcopterCote]

I like the the strykes, however in my use, normal cold washes, they fade pretty quick. Other than that they wear true to size and feel like pajamas. Thanks for the Vid.

[@DeanTX]

Been wearing the Stryker pants for a few months now, the are worth every penny over the taclite

[@lonestarpatriot6675]

I love these pants. Been wearing them for a year now.

[@runngunr21]

Very cool! Good to see you with your wife traveling around! God bless your marriage!

[@JoeCanyon3rd]

Great video, I can always count on your honesty and astute observations. Thanks!

[@Riveroakse202]

I'am getting the feeling that you are enjoying doing your reviews at the Shot Show with Mrs Nutnfancy...Maybe this pairing would make future visits there more enjoyable for everyone...Its been fun, enjoyable as well as educational for me... I think that Mrs N. was also having a good time.... Great stuff!!

[@JeremiahPTTN]

I would love to see a tnp discount from 5.11!

[@OGSiX33]

@nutnfancy those front pockets actually fit AR mags, as well.

[@willbest1547]

I like 'em, particularly the notch pocket and the light weight material. What type of light is she using?, I like the slim profile.

[@GlockUSMC]

Love the the Styker pants Nutn. Buying a pair as soon as I have the money battle Brown Baby. Thanks for the video.

[@1407driver]

Funny- I'm watching this video as I repair my 5.11 BDU's- again! I have a lot of 5.11 stuff. The styling and functionality is good, but the quality on some of the gear is sub-par. My duty belt makes short work of the belt loop stitching. I literally get about 6-7 days out of a pair before it's repair time. That being said, I wear the tac light pants almost daily off duty, and I love them. These also look like a great option. Thanks, Nutn!

[@CaptDestro]

I got a pair of 5.11 pants for christmas. Had to give them away :( I need to skip leg day, my quads are just too big. Pockets were hanging out and crap. Kind of the bummer since the waistband was elastic, would have been nice for IWB holster.

[@dynamicequilibrium5322]

Released at 12:53 on Valentines Day. I like your style.

[@KGiustOD]

I love my Stryke pants. I am excited about the Stryke shorts but not excited about the price.

[@RumblestripDotNet]

I hate the velcro on tac pants, doesn't matter if they are 5.11 or Tru-Specs, too noisy, and if you try to wear them as "nicer pants" the velcro comes off a cheesy.

[@davidblack7257]

I've been wearing these for a while...love them

[@ONLY_FXRS]

I like my 5.11 pants for just everyday wear but for a tactical training pant I wear la police gear operator pant. Great quality good prices.

[@marksmanman96]

I've worn strykes for a few years now, and I have nothing bad to say about them. Spend the extra $ on them, you won't regret it!

[@bcbrin20]

I knew you'd get around to the reviewing the Stryke pants. I love them. My only complaint is the price.You definitely get what you pay for though.

[@citadelfirearmsinstitute1712]

looks like I will be upgrading from my Tac-lite pants. Sweet.

[@richkestrel7416]

I bought -- and wore -- two pair of TacLite Pros, and liked them well enough. Then I bought a pair of the Stryke pants, and I have not worn my TacLite Pros since. I now have three pair of the Stryke pants, and I love them. Great fit, great durability, amazing pockets and pocket placement. The fabric moves with you, and the pants don't scream TACTICAL (not that I have anything against "tactical"... it's just nice to fly under the radar, if you get my drift). Sizing can be a bit tricky, but luckily have was able to try on before I bought (as opposed to buying directly on-line). I can't recommend these pants highly enough! BTW, anyone want to buy two pair of slightly used TacLite Pros? :-)

[@SouthernxLord]

Well Glad I got these long before you did this video. These will probably be sold out for a while now...

[@116RonH]

I like the original Taclite Pros more than the other pants. Look normal and function great.

[@newtonsnecessities407]

Ahhh Nextorch k3. Love that light!! Yet another product bought based on your recommendation sir

[@AbolishTheATF2024]

I love my Stryke pants. Way more comfortable than the traditional Tac-Lite Pros, and you can move way more freely in them.

[@greatnortoni]

I have 3 pair of the Stryke pant. I like the features but not the durability! Two pair I have torn easily when rubbed up against the bottom of a table at a café - really, and for the near $70 that I paid for each, I have to really consider if I want to go that rout again?

[@The_Osprey]

I really like the Rail Riders Versa-Tac pants but my skinny legs really fit best in 5.11 pants. I like the looks of those Stryke pants. I may have to give a pair a shot.

[@desmendETKILLAZ]

Good reviews have a 5.11 store near me and a 20% discount that I know how to use now. I recently got a leather belt from them as well. Nutnfancy how about a mini review on their edc flashlight? I bought one for 30$ and the 90 lumens off of triple As is sweet.

[@leightintle2940]

I have a serious question for anyone watching this vid: For those of us who live in the colder and snowier areas, do you think that ANY amount of cotton in clothing is OK to use in a bug out or emergency type role? Personally I don't think I would, but I don't have any experience with low percentage apparel.

[@sfpiggy]

The legs need to be a little more baggy. When you start putting stuff in the pockets they get tight. And they are 70$ in CA

[@Aleckael]

I love my TacLite pants, they are made with the accessories in mind.

[@sacman5318]

Hey Nutn just found out ATF is banning the ss109 ammo what are your thoughts on that?

[@jamestickle3070]

dUDE! These are my PANTS! I've got pairs in three colors. Knife pocket, light pocket, wallet in one cargo, phone in the other. That's my work rotation. I love em.

[@GoDbax]

I used to get issued 5.11 taclite EMS pants for work until we switched over to elbeco. Honestly Elbeco's pants are a lot more durable. By the end of the year all my 5.11's would ripping at the crotch, cargo pocket. I will say they are better at repelling fluids and a little bit lighter tho.

[@bigger62265]

**Little warning about the fit for guys with big quads. After watching a lot of reviews about tac style pants, I ordered the Stryke pants, the Taclite pros, and the Blackhawk tac pants at the same time. Those three are supposed to be some of the roomiest for big legs/smaller waist. The Stryke pants were noticeably smaller in the legs/butt than the other two. Kept the Taclite pros and the Blackhawks and love them both, sent the Stryke back. Anyone with Amazon prime your house can be your dressing room with no loss to you. BTW, the stretchy rip stop is some awesome breathable fabric, they just didn't fit well.

[@NE_Ohio_Hiker]

Great pair of pants, bought them at gander mtn.

[@carlosbermudez4553]

I'm wearing these right now! Now I'm happy to know I have great taste 👍

[@MrMGR1986]

Also, the belts are not included right?

[@KGiustOD]

I kinda like the Cirrus pants. Maybe a men's cut with the same functionality would appeal to those of us that don't walk around looking tactical 24/7.

[@dcentral]

All these companies keep producing styles that scream armed and tactical. They just don't get it. Most of us need to blend in urban environment, not look like a nylon tacticool gear head.

[@spyders03]

I love my 5.11 EMS pants as well, great stuff!

[@hermannkateri2120]

I honestly can't remember ever seeing a another pants review on this channel?

[@TandTWilderness]

Are the pants out yet? If not wen do they come out? I think i pick me up few pairs

[@psychobilly4162]

Not gonna lie...I wear "tactical" pants all the time. I got hooked on them after wearing them on duty at the fire station--next thing you know, I started wearing them instead of Dockers/other khaki pants at my regular job.

[@nejinaji]

i just bought two of the taclite pros. love them.

[@hackersremix]

Now if I can just get these in digital cammo for work.

[@albertptran]

@ Nutnfancy, did u review any backpacks from Shot Show this year?

[@PDNB214]

Good to see Mrs Nutten.

[@Joey.B75]

May be a silly question to ask, but how does the sizing run for the Stryker Pants? Same as jeans?

[@benjaminhpollock5654]

Love clothing reviews Nutn.

[@harpjason208]

Nutn, you really did marry up. What a doll. Not too many women can raise 2 sons and still look fresh and young.
