Any good budget tactical pants?

[Tzook]

I have a good amount of training coming up for work, and I'm not really wanting to wear the exact same pair of pants that I'm issued for my training uniform every day for a month or more. I know LA Police gear makes a few pairs that are supposedly good, anybody have any experience with those or any others?

Vertx are my favorite, they have a 40% sale going on through Monday for Labor Day.

I have a few pairs from LA Police Gear. They're lightweight and functional, and they've held up fine for me so far. I've worn them for class and match days here and there. IMO the pocket layout isn't the greatest, but the same can be said of the 5.11's. Overall I'm happy with them, given the price. They're cheap enough that if I tear them up I'll just buy another pair or two and not lose any sleep over it.

One thing worth noting when comparing them to 5.11's or Propers is that the LAPG pants do not have teflon treatment so if you get caught in the rain the water will soak right through them.

I've gone completely over to climbing /hiking pants, preferably the Prana Zion or the REI, nylon/spandex.

Took the words out of my mouth.

The only ones that I like are the tru-spec 24/7. The fit and feel is great.

Kuhl makes some snazzy grayman style pants.

+1 ...I wore mine last yr during fall so it was cool. I personally wouldn't wear it during hot summer...forgot what make I got...it has pocket on the side by mid-thigh.

Most Kuhls do. Revolvrs have been my consistent favorite for just about everything, but they retail $75.00. They're awesome but if you want more than one pair I don't consider them budget oriented pants. Honestly whatever lightweight rip-stop pants are on sale at Eddie Bauer have worked really well for me for years.

Vertx Mens Original Tactical Pants. With the 40% off sale this weekend, the pair I just ordered cost me $35.97. Free shipping even. Last pair I bought cost me $62.94 with shipping. Comfortable and hold up well. Nice pockets. Something I’m critical about. Of course, they are back ordered in the color and size I ordered. Last time I back ordered pants from Vertx, it took a little over 3 months to get them. I’ve been thinking about trying some Tru-Specs, but not sure about those pockets.
