Ive ripped a couple. Usually because the companies would give me a pair of pants that are just plain too small. They seem to think that me, being a 6'6 290 pound large framed guy can manuever in a pair of pants made for someone who is 6'2 250. Sure I can fit into them, but its the running, crawling, climbing, biking, etc... stuff I have a problem with."Alright guys listen up, ya'll have probably heard this before, Jackson vs. Securiplex corporation; I am a private security officer, I have no State or governmental authority.

I've ripped a couple over the years as well... I've noticed that some of the uniform companies just don't make them like the rest... I've got a pair of trousers I've had since I STARTED in security almost 10 years ago, that are still in great shape. I use them as a backup pair when I work day shift, as they don't have the SAP pockets unfortunately to hold my Stinger.. The pants I was issued from this company (about 6 months ago now) have ALREADY ripped... They feel like they're about as thick as a sheet of paper, and they don't even come close to keeping the rain off of me like the other pair I have.
I've thought about splurging and ordering a couple more pairs of the good ones out of my own pocket, but the brand label has long since worn away so I don't even know who made them.. LOLCorbier's Commandos - "Stickin it to the ninjas!"

Only thing I've got from when I started in security back in '83 is a maglite belt ring...
I haven't torn anything yet, although I keep losing buttons left and right off my shirts, and that one button on the inside tab of the pants along the waistline...“Two wrongs don't make a right, but three rights make a left”

It helps that whenever I get new pants I take them to a little franchise here in Baton Rouge called Golden Needle where the asian ladies will wait outside the fitting room so they can pin up the hem just right and then they double stitch the seat and crotch. They do alot of the uniforms of police and other emergency workers and know how to stitch up the weak points. I've never had a problem after taking my stuff to them. Not cheap but worth the money.Hospital Security OfficerComment

None so far.
I do some static work but mostly mobile patrol so there's a lot of wear
from getting in and out of the car and where my Mag Lite brushes.
I'm fortunate in having the decision of what pants I wear, so I choose
Propper Black BDUs. Propper makes a nice ripstop BDU and they're
really comfortable too.Comment

Sounds like someone's been thinking... and created a nice little niche market too!Originally posted by EMTGuard View Post

I have ripped a few in my 10 years. BDU pants always seem to catch on tree limbs, fences and household appliances. LOL!
