Anyone tried out the Under Armour Gen II Tactical Cargo pants? Everything I’ve ever tried out from UA, has fit well, and been super high quality. SOME items are WAY overpriced, while the rest, are just expensive.
Anyone tried out these pants? I like the look of the Desert Sand color pants and shirt.

80 dollars for pants that im going to intentionally try to destroy is a bit much.
I agree with your comments 100%. Im sure these are fantastic pants but really, will they do anything that a standard pair of 5.11’s wont?
I wonder if hot brass will melt this stuff like it does to regular lightweight nylon?
Well, considering most of us around here thing anything 5.11 TOTALLY sucks, and most of us are wearing Force 10’s that cost $110-ish, then $80 seems like a nice price.
I cannot stand the cheap feel of 5.11 pants. They are SO TIGHT, and just remind me of a female wearing tight pants to show off her figure.
Maybe it’s just me, but they’ve always felt cheap.
Which 5.11 pants? The standard 5.11 tactical (canvas) version?
The ripstop TDU’s are pretty decent.
just buy Carhartt’s
I’ll second the Carharts.
Got a million pairs of Carhartt carpenter work jeans.
However, I’ve not seen any Carhartts that have cargo pockets/etc
Maybe they make them, but they just aren’t sold locally?
Anyhow, I do not know which 5.11 pants I have tried, but there is a Police Supply store that must have a million pair in stock. Everything 5.11 AFAIK.
There could be some 5.11’s I’ve not tried though. For years I think there was only 1 fabric/design of “5.11 Tactical Pant”, and that would be the ones I’ve tried.
If there is a newer version, I will try them.
I guess that once you’ve worn TAD Force 10’s, there is nothing that can even come close to comparing.
Of course, a 30-ish dollar pair of “tactical” pants just isn’t going to be very high in quality IMO. YES, there COULD be and SHOULD be a $30 pair of high quality pants made, but in todays age, that just doesn’t seem to happen much.
I’ll be the first to admit the Force 10’s are NOT worth $100+. NO piece of fabric used to cover my body IS worth that much.
However, as I said, once you’ve worn them, nothing much else compares (at least nothing I’ve tried)
I asked about the Under Armours, because ALL of their hunting clothing, while overpriced, is very well made, and feels/fits great.
They come in many tactical colors.

Here are some 2nds. I’ve order from here before with no problems and you can’t tell what the defects are…
They look good! I’ve never tried any, and they appear to be sold out of about every color except maybe navy blue. 
Navy Blue Force 10s just went on sale for $62 per pair (35% off)
I ordered a pair to try out! I hope they’re half as good as you say!
TAD’s force 10 cargos are one of my favourite pairs of pants - in fact i’m wearing my OD ripstop pair right now. the fit, comfort and layout of the pockets just works well for me.
Great! I wish they had more colors available in my size. They do have the Khaki Amphibians with DMR, but I don’t know if I want that? Do you know anything about the amphibians, MM? (from a practical standpoint?)
It seems as though you can’t wash the DMR pants with conventional detergents. I don’t want a pain in the ass to take care of pair of pants.
I’ve got some of the new Khaki Amphibious cloth coming to try out. They are not supposed to be hot in the summer at all, when compared to other fabric, but we’ll see. I do not know about the care/detergent issue, but we’ll see.
Just keep an eye on TAD’s site, they will have more Multicam and Khaki coming in.
Demigod, you WILL NOT be disappointed with these cargos. They’ve even got kneepad slots for adding pads when shooting prone in 3 gun competitions/etc. Just quality stuff.
I’m waiting like a hawk…
Awesome! Report back on those Amphibians for sure.
I almost bought the Navy Blue ripstops yesterday… then I looked at them again today, and they were 35% off… so that sealed it.
