Are any type of pants better than others?

[fryzie]

Any recommendations? or just the cheapest you can find?

The cheapest you can find are the ones you will end up replacing at least twice a year.

Buck up and spend a lil bit more money and get a very good pair of pants.

there HAS to be better BDUs than truspec. I love their oublestitching and ripstop, but durig the summer months, the 'nut soup' effect takes over, and eventually the crotch seams begin to eat away totally.

Another complaint is about the nylon dress slacks I have. They fit real nice when I stand up but the first time I sit down the rear seam blows like 2 feet of quarter inch DET cord lol. Lucky the place I got them had them double stitched for me free of charge. AJs rocks

I hate Truspec. Bleh. I use Proguard which is a whole lot better IMO.

I have found trousers that I used for business attire that have been long lasting and have used a uniform company for my own. I think there is no true and tried answer for what is the best but it comes down to personal preference and budget - trying is what it is all about.

Some people are harder on shoes and clothing that others with different people with all different shapes and sizes and I know that the inside leg of some trousers (depending on material and cut) will wear out faster than some. My advice is - when you find a style and cut that fits will (get a few pairs of trousers and rotate them often to give them even wear. Pssssstt I have tried the 5.11's and loved them but preference goes for a UK brand that is far from cheap (and I thought wearing suits was a hard choice).

Working in a static post especially with winter coming on I have been weighing the options. I like the crisp clean look of regular black security pants but find I need more pockets and want the crisp look that BDUs don't have. I encounter several EMTs at my site and am impressed with the 9 pocket pants that they wear as the pockets are flush with the legs unlike BDU pouches. So I ordered up a pair to see if I like the feel.

I was fortunate that 1 of my p/t crew was a fireman and he was able to point me into the right direction of a supplier who did similar trousers but they were very expensive but looked good. I agree nothing looks worse that BDU's that are loaded up and popping out everywhere as well.
