    5.11 Tactical Taclite Pro Pants Description:

  • Lightweight 65% polyester and 35% poly cotton ripstop
  • Magazine/cell phone pocket
  • Two cargo pockets
  • Patented slash rear pockets
  • Treated with HT Teflon® wear resistant finish
  • External knife pocket
  • Rear web strap
  • YKK® zippers
  • Prym® snaps
  • Clip loop

    Perfect for the Outdoors. Including Hunting and Hiking 5.11 Tactical Series has done it again. Our new Taclite Pro Pant is ready for wear and we know this one will be a hit. Fashioned after our traditional 5.11 Tactical pant, the new 5.11 Taclite Pro Pant features a lightweight poly-cotton ripsotp fabric and a fully gusseted crotch that allows for full range of movement. These pants have pockets located for easy access to all of your gear. An external knife pocket on the right front side gives you easy access to a 5.11 Tactical Tarani Knife. Two cargo pockets are located on both thighs and a magazine/cell phone pocket is located over the left cargo pocket for quick access with your off-hand. The magazine and new knife pocket are reinforced with 100% Cordura nylon. We have kept our traditional slash pockets in the rear along with the web strap found on our 5.11 Tactical Pants.

    Cops have been waiting patiently for a lightweight version of our Classic 5.11 Pant and the 5.11 TacLite Pro Pant fits the bill. Made of lightweight 65% polyester and 35% non-fading polycotton ripstop, you have a pant that is extremely functional and maintains a neat, clean and professional look. We’ve also treated the pants with HT Teflon® Wear Resistant Finish for stain and soil resistance to maintain that good look no matter what the daily activity.

    The belt loops are thick enough to support a large belt to carry the weight of a sidearm, cuffs or other equipment. We use only YKK® zippers, Prym® snaps and Horn buttons so that you can rest assured that these Taclite™ Pro Pant will last. We’ve also included our traditional clip loop on the front of the 5.11 Taclite Pro Pant for our great traditional 5.11 Tactical look.

    We’ve given you a full range of great colors. The 5.11 Taclite Pro Pant comes in Black, Coyote, TDU Green, Tundra, TDU Khaki and Dark Navy.

    NOTE FROM LAPG STAFF - We have tried on samples of these pants and we can honestly tell you if you loved the 5.11 Original Tactical pant YOU WILL LOVE THE 5.11 TACLITE PRO PANT! The new fast access slit pocket allows for fast access to items that do not need a covered pocket. The lightweight fabric breaths more easy than the heavier 5.11 Original style cotton fabric which sometimes felt heavy or hot on the legs. Our favorite feature is the new diamond gusseted crotch. It really does allow for more comfort in the crotch area and for far better range of motion for your legs. Overall these pants get an A+.

    Other Reviews: Great Pants!

    "My first pair of 5.11 pants! Bought these POLYESTER/COTTON pants about 3-4 months ago and wear them as much as I can. The lightweight material makes the pants very comfortable as it doesn't weigh you down like heavyweight cotton does. The ripstop blend is pretty durable and so far no visible wear. The knees feature an extra layer of material for added durability and also has a pouch for extra knee pads. The stitching all around is solid and precise. There were no extraneous loose threads that had to be cut. The buckle seems to be fairly sturdy and the adjustments are solid (aka, doesn't slip when you buckle down...I had a cheaper belt that would always work loose). Overall an excellent buy! My only complaint would be that the pants seem to be a bit baggy when compared to a same sized pair of jeans from a retail store, but for me, I'd rather have the extra space for greater freedom of movement."

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    Perfect Pant for Hot Weather Work!

    "For those of us that are either required to wear a pant, or simply choose to wear a pant, this is by far the best choice on the market for tactical hot weather gear. I wear these pants every day I am on duty, and usually when I am not on duty. These pants are light and cool enough to use in the Texas heat, and yet professional enough to wear in any situation. I have yet to wrinkle these pants, and the color has stayed just as vibrant and good looking as the day I opened the package. Excellent choice for casual, range, or office wear. Probably just as good a choice for uniform wear if your department allows it."

    Received the pants the other day and i am very pleased. Wore them to work , even though they are not approved by my dept. Very durable and functional product, fit the needs of modern day law enforcement which is more then I can say for the agency that I work for. For those of you considering these pants, get them a size larger they tend to fit small. The only complaint I have is the snap button on the front of the pants. I took them to a tailor and swapped out the button for a more durable and secure one, small charge no big deal. Overall great product, stay safe SHEEPDOGS and get the wolf.
    I can find not fault (except for the price)
    May 12, 2013

    I have been wearing these pants almost every day for the last 4 years (not the same pair every day). They have served me well in a multitude of environments. My first pair has probably been washed over 220 times and is still fit for duty.

    I really like the slash back pockets which are impossible to find in other brands. The cargo pockets are not too big and blousey but are still big enough to carry some essentials.

    The style is nice enough to wear as dressy casual at work. They are also functional enough to wear when cutting firewood or doing other chores around the yard. I have really tested out the tear resistance capabilities and found them to be superior. Even my very old pairs have very few rips.

    The reinforced knees are vital!

    They also have superior fit. They are roomy in the important places but not too baggy. They move with me yet don't hinder my movement. I could not be more pleased with these pants.

    I wish they were cheaper. However, I justify purchasing them because they last through so many washes and wears. Even my black pairs have not faded (note- I hang dry my all my clothes) Any other pants I have worn, including my military BDUs, have never made it past 6 months.

    Comfortable, wash & wear nice. I got black, they seem to be holding their color well. I've washed them several times and they are holding well. Well worth the price!! The belt is 5.11's lower end belt but is also good quality and comfortable.

    Pants are good, what I expected after owning others. The belt is cut too short for the size. It technically fits, but threading it is tedious due to the ultra short tail.
    A standard
    April 20, 2013

    I can't decide if I like these or the cotton ones better. A few washings, and some wear, will help. These pants are an industry standard. Lots of pockets, and a back strap for keys. They have a similar design for their patrol shorts. The free belt is OK, though a bit flexible for a heavy holstered pistol.
    New but very happy

    The belt comes free regardless of LAPG...its all sealed in the same package. Also, the belt is worthless, throw it away as soon as you open the package.

    Thankfully the pants themselves are awesome. Very comfortable, light, breathable, water resistant, useful pockets. I use these for hiking, hunting, camping, and shooting. All around awesome. I would suggest ordering one waist size larger than you typically wear for added comfort.

    The pants are generally what they're purported to be. I don't care for the snap/button closure combination; it's awkward and less secure. I wear a large size, and having to have them hemmed was a nuisance and another added expense. I buy all my pants online and have no problem getting them made to order on other sites. I'm very unlikely to buy these again.
    April 12, 2013

    I Finlay wore out a pair of these pants after wearing the 1 pair for work the past 2 years. They hold up very well. Just ordered 2 more pairs for work and range time. The rip stop keeps these pants alive for a long time.

    I have 10 pair of these pants both original and tact lights. They are wonderful. I bought my first pair in 2008. I paid 40 bucks a pair back then. They are now 50 + a pair. It's too bad because now i am looking at Propper that are $15 cheaper and almost as nice. CONSIDER BRINGING DOWN THE PRICE LA. I am going with 4 stars as a result of the price hike.

    January 10, 2013

    While all the other reviews are glowing and supportive of these pants (and to be fair, they are excellent in quality and utility) reviewers are also here to let others know what can go wrong. I purchased 2 pairs of these at my standard size (34x32) as that's what I buy in jeans and khakis, however I found them to be exceedingly tight. I went up to a 36 and they are good to go. If you are CCing IWB with these one size up from your norm is probably good enough as well. Also, as an aside: LA Police Gear has the best price I've found for these pants.

    TL;DR: Buy one size up on the waistband compared to what you buy your other clothing in.

    I have tactical pants from most of the other brands and these 5.11s are my absolute favorite. They're comfortable and move with you easily. The fabric is light enough for warm weather wear but warm enough for cool nights. Pockets are well made and spacious. The front accessory pocket is sized just right for my iPhone (probably other phones as well). Fit is just right thanks to the elastic waistband. Belt loops are in just the right spots for holster wear. A great pair of pants. That's why I have seven pairs!

    Great pants, very sturdy material, good fit and a ton of pockets. 5.11 pays attention to detail, like the heavy duty belt loops and reinforced knees. Plus a free belt that works well with these is hard to beat. LAPG is a great place to buy from too.

My concealed carry pocket pistol fits perfect in one pair of pants and barely fits in a different pair of pants(different color). Four and a half stars.

    Over the last five or six years I have worn only these trousers.I have pain complication from the side effects of my prostate cancer treatment. The "gusset" crotch prevents the pain caused by the pressure from the seam that runs vertically through the crotch of most trousers. In addition, they hold up extremely well, work in almost all but the dressiest of occasions, and are easy to care for. My only complaint is that I would like a moe extensive choice of colors.

    I have three pairs of the Taclite Pro pants. Leightweight, comfortable, fit well, appear to be wearing well after a few months of daily wear. I did note that they take a few washings to finish shrinking - the first two pairs I bought I had hemmed a bit too soon and now they are a bit short. I'll have to fix that soon. The third pair I will wait until at least 4 washings to get hemmed. I wear about a 35 inseam and buy them in 36. The stone color is great, matches pretty much everything.

    I own a pair of these pants (tan), size 40/32 and they are so comfortable. I just recently bought two pairs of the same exact pants, but black in color and they feel like they are 2 sizes too small. Even when you hold the belts up to one another they are different. I made a phone call to LA Police Gear (waited 20 minutes for someone to pick up the phone) and they were of no help. There only offer was to return them for a full refund and/or purchase new ones.

    I was more than skeptical before buying these pants as they are light weight. Well, a free light, free belts, a free water bottle AND Free shipping.....SOLD!!! Well the shipping was kind of slow but FREE. The pants are great!!! 9 out of 10. The point was lost because they do not take starch well. I was told by a co-worker that they add something that helps repel liquids. Livable... I LOVE the light, my kids love the water bottle, and my wife likes the way the pants fit on me. Gained the point back!!!! I also bought 2 of the long sleeved shirts (got to match right?) 10 out of 10!!!.... Good job L.A. Police Gear.. Great job 5.11.

    I have been wearing these pants almost everyday for the last six years. A significant amount of that time has been spent in a harsh desert environment. These pants have preformed flawlessly. They have a great fit and amazing durability. I still have some of the same pants that I purchased during my first deployment! There is minimal fading, and the only wear is some fraying on the top edge of the knife pocket. I use my knife many times a day, so some wear is to be expected. I would definatly recommend these pants to anyone needing a durable, versatile, and stylish pair of pants.

    I love these pants. They are great, comfortable pants. However, before you order, be aware that they do seem to run a bit short.

    My pants are generally a 34 length, and I had to order these in 32 for them to fit. They are not the only pair of 5.11 pants I've had that were long. Just be aware.

    I've always found LAPG to have the best deal, but if you can find some locally at a store to try them on and determine your correct size, then order from LAPG, you won't go wrong.

    Been wearing these for years. I recently lost weight and went down a full size to 34's. Ordered 5 pairs, 2 had waist band elastic issues which did not allow proper expansion. This seems to be a recent trend. Well, I sent them back and La. Police promptly hand picked ones with proper elastic expansion and sent them on, no if's or but's about them. I have been doing business with La. Police Gear for several years and will continue to due business with them. Great supplier and have recommended their services to my fellow officers.

    Snagged two of these. The colors definatley look better in person. Very comfortable and nice looking pants. The fit size is the same as my jeans. I am between 38" and 40"(depending on time of year), so I bought the 40". Definately a tad loose, but when I put on some base layers it should fit nicely.

    I threw in a 5.11 shirt to put me over the next threashold and got a free hat, 2 free belts and killer little ATac FLashlight(free shipping also). Can't beat that deal anywhere!!

    I bought two pairs of these on their promo deal. I wore them right away to work and love them! They are super comfortable, not like 5.11's first pant style like this. The multitude of pockets is awesome and very useful. They are well worth the money and I am going to order a couple more. You can't beat it with the free shipping and the free flashlight deal!

    http://apocalypseequipped.blogspot.com/2012/10/review-511-tactical-taclite-pro-pants.html Here are the pants I mentioned in my belt post recently, these are the 5.11 Tactical Taclite Pro pants, that I picked up form LA Police Gear, online. I got them in their mid-grey "Tundra" and the light sand "Coyote" colours. These are some pretty feature packed pants, and quite comparable with the Blackhawk Performance WarriorWear pants i reviewed not long ago. These are made of a lightweight 65% polyester and 35% poly cotton ripstop material, which have been treated with HT Teflon? Wear Resistant Finish for stain and soil resistance. Tefglon pants, how cool is that? Actually, its very cool. I've been sprayed with water and food several times thanks to the combined efforts of Tactical Baby and Triceratops Girl whilst in these pants and they have beaded and wiped clean on almost all occasions with ease. Water droplets just bead and roll off.

    Very impressive. Apparently that same Teflon? coated fabric dries 25-40% faster than untreated fabric,something I also put to the test recently as I sweated through several days of 39oC Influenza fever. These pants were actually comfortable to be in.

    Lets have a look at the pocket options. On the right face, a reinforced open knife pocket graces the front of the thigh, ( keep my Gerber multitool on a lanyard in it) The left thigh features a hook-and-loop closed pocket, big enough for an iPhone or possibly a magazine. Two standard bellowsed cargo pockets sit down the thigh, also with hook-and-loop closures.

    There is a brass clip D-loop on the front right belt loop, good for keys, phone or lanyards, I've found. The front hand-pockets are deep and well angled, and also feature reinforcing to protect against fraying from knife or flashlight clips that may be attached here. The pants themselves close with a press-stud snap, a hefty zipper and an internal button.

    At the back you can see the hook-and-loop closing rear "slash" pockets. I'm really digging this style of pocket, over the more traditional "up and down" style. It gives me easy access for stowed items quickly and securely.Also on the back right side is the long reinforced cotton webbing utility strap, which would be a great place to sling items such as my Dead-On Super Hammer.

    A couple of other really good features are the double knee and seat reinforcements. The knees have an internal inward facing pocket to allow knee pads to be added. The fully gusseted crotch is also a godsend, it allows for full range of movement, especially for us long-legged critters. Behind the belt line are a couple of built in elasticized patches on the waist, which give the pants a stretch point when bending,m kneeling or crawling, whilst not interfering with the sizing or comfort of fit. The belt loops are wide and broad, taking the 1.75" TDU Belt by 5.11 Tactical perfectly. The one problem I had with these pants were that the Coyote pair were somewhat TOO rugged on the inside seams, as I "go commando", this led to some uncomfortable chafing and me having to resort to boxers for a little while. I presume this is just due to their newness, as my other pair which I wore in a bit more, same sizing, gave me no problems.

    I was in a motorcycle accident at 50mph and these pants saved my lags and my ass from rood rash these are the best pants ever!!!!!!!
    Question: What size are the belt loops and free belt?
    Answer: The belt loops on these pants are approximately 2 1/2" and the belt that comes with the pants is 1 3/4".

    Question: HELP! I have recently bought a pair of Filson upland pants & 5-11 Tac pants. Both do not fit. I'm weary that your pants won't fit either. I am an older man that normally wear size 40, but buy 42 waist & 32 inseam. Seems the rise has been cut down to where pants ride lower on hip. Ball room is another problem. Seems pants made in Asia built for small people with no ass or tools. Before I order can I be assured the rise is cut full.
    Answer: We have never heard any complaints of these pants running too small in the crotch area. Maybe you could try ordering a size 44 to give you some extra room.

    Question: Will these pants accommodate a 2.25" wide belt?
    Answer: These pants will not accommodate a 2.25" belt. The maximum width these pants can hold is 2".

    Question: Do these have expandable waist? I use my regular size with an OWB holster, and expandable waist accommodates an IWB holster.
    Answer: Yes, these pants have a "self-adjusting waistband" which allows them to stretch.

    Question: i am looking for 511 cargopants that have a tapered ankle..some pants are straight leg and i like a narrow look down by the ankles..please let me know what style to buy..thanks scott
    Answer: 5.11 does not make tapered ankle pants since tactical pants are supposed to be worn around boots. Their TDU Pants, however, do have strings at the bottom of the pants that allow you to tighten or loosen the ankle of the pant.

    Question: What color belt would you get with a purchase of the tundra colored pants? Also I wear a 34 comfortably but also like to carry iwb should I got size up or will the stretch accommodate my 1911?
    Answer: A Tundra pair of pants would come with a Coyote Brown zipper. The elastic waistband on these pants would give you enough room to carry a 1911 in an IWB holster.

    Question: I'm preparing to purchase 2 pair of the 5.11 Tactical TacLite Pro Pants 38 x 30. Questions: How true to jean size do they run? What length belt will I be getting as I like the belt a little bigger that the 38 pants size?
    Answer: Most of the reviews we have seen for the 5.11 Taclite Pro's state that they run true to size. We only saw a couple that said otherwise. As for the belt, a size 38 waist would come with a Large belt which will fit waist sizes 36-38.
