    Useful, Non-"Tacticool" Pants?

    Guys, I'm curious what pants you are using. Throw out 5.11's or anything like that - I'm looking for a rugged, inconspicuous style of pant.

    Right now, besides my jeans, I wear Mountain Khakis (only complaint is lack of pockets), and Columbia Silver Ridge cargos (only complaint is how thin material is). Trying to find best of both worlds.

    Keep in mind, I'm a tall skinny guy, so I'm looking for pants that are cut less than baggy.

    Thanks.

    Useful, Non-"Tacticool" Pants?

    I get the classic non tacticool type pants that I wear every day and the support all my accessories. A OSOE EDC belt that holds my GCode Incog holster with a G19 at my 12 o'clock AIWB...Levi's 559

    They're great, you won't find them in a gun store but you can find them in most department stores, and they don't stand out.

    Maybe Arborwear Original Tree Climbers or something from Kuhl?

    Really though what are you wanting to use these for? EDC? Hiking? Ect

    Vertx tactical pants may be what you are looking for. Cargo pockets are low-profile. Crotch isn't baggy like some 5.11s. Well made and functional with multiple color options and types. I wear the Original Tactical Pants during cooler months and the Phantom LT for hot temps.

    my current favourite all-round pant for work and play is the Prana stretch zion pant which i got from REI:
    http://www.prana.com/stretch-zion-pant.html

    it's comfortable, light weight, smart enough for office wear, and pretty durable so far. i have one pair i wear 3x a week for indoor rock climbing and i've scraped my knees and shins on abrasive climbing holds over the past year without damage to the material. it's got a stretch to it (hence the name) and is great for full range of motion. i liked my first khaki pair so much i bought two more - one in 'mud' which is good brownish colour, and one in charcoal which is a dark grey. i love the integral web belt - i don't have to wear a belt and can adjust it on the fly. i find myself wearing these more often than any of my other tactical pants. it's also a non-baggy pant, but not teenage-tight either. (WTF is up with young guys and skin-tight pants nowadays?)

    Kuhl, royal robin, even north face has some good options.

    Rei is the place to get them.

    TNF Paramount Peak convertible pants. Most versatile pants I own. They come in khaki, asphalt, and brown and green earth tones. Light weight abrasion resistant and look good too.
