Best Military Pants for Men of 2025

"I purchased these lightweight tactical pants for my husband, who struggles with heavier pants due to chronic pain. They are sturdy and well made, with smooth zippers and ample secure pockets for his essentials. We've washed them multiple times without any shrinkage or fading, and they look just like the photos in the ad."

"As a security guard, I find these pants to be great for standing and sitting. They fit well, but I notice that the stretchy waist can feel loose after a while. A belt helps, though I do experience some minor back discomfort if I tighten it too much. Overall, they look good and serve their purpose well."

"I really love these pants! They are durable and fit true to size. The extra pockets are fantastic, and they look nice enough to wear out. I would definitely give them a 10/10 rating!"

"I've purchased three jackets and various items from Rothco, and these pants are just as well-made. They're sturdy and roomy, though I might need alterations due to the generous leg length."

"These pants are perfect for my needs. They are slightly long, but my wife can help with that. I love that they’re big enough to fit over other clothes, making them ideal for cool days."

"I ordered both woodland and tiger camo pants, and they looked fantastic right out of the bag. I’m 5'7”, 180lbs, and usually wear size 32 x 30. I got the mediums, which are a bit long but fit well. However, the waist felt more like a 30 or 31”. I ended up giving them to my daughter, who is 5'3” and 135lbs, and they fit her perfectly!"

"My husband had these cut off into shorts from the real fatigues and wore them for 20 years before they gave out. We haven't been able to find anymore at army surplus stores, so we decided to give these a try. They fit nicely, have a button fly, and the side tie adjustments. We will probably buy another pair as pants because they seem to be good quality. I'll update in 20 years to see if they last as long as the real thing. :)"

"As a retired army veteran from 1991 to 2011, I can confidently say these are the REAL deal, authentic summer BDUs. In my day, we had winter and summer BDUs, and almost all of us preferred summer for being weightless and more comfortable. I had to return my first order for a different size, but they are true to size. Unfortunately, the second pair I received was winter material, which I will be returning."

"At almost 80, I can't help but think how sexy these pants make my husband look (to me, lol). The leg hem is a little big, but the drawstrings help with the fit. The only thing I wish was different is the button closure fly instead of a zipper."

"I usually wear a size 30, but I had to go for size 32. Regardless, these pants are fantastic! The fabric is very nice, and they fit me well at 5'10". I even got a pair for my son!"

"I was surprised by the quality of these camo pants. They're comfortable and fit almost perfectly. Made from quality cotton, I’m already looking to buy them in other colors!"

"At first, the waist felt tight because I followed the recommended size. I suggest going with your instinct on sizing. However, they fit great after I made some adjustments, and the length is sufficient—a big concern for me as I’m tall!"

"I absolutely love these pants. As an armed security professional, they are just perfect for me. Comfortable and durable, I've already ordered two more pairs!"

"I decided to try these for work. They are very tough and lightweight, which is ideal for the summer heat. I love the pockets and their durability."

"I just got these pants and wore them today. The pockets are spacious, the zippers seem decent, and the waist size feels true. I'm planning to buy another pair because the quality is impressive for half the price of 5.11's."

"As someone with over 11 years in the infantry, I can say these pants are a great deal. Compared to $300 Crye pants, they perform impressively well. You can expect a solid year of use even with heavy training. They have nice features, good fit, and are quite durable. I would definitely recommend them and plan to buy again."

"I often struggle with ripping pants due to my thick thighs, but these held up superbly during a combat medical class. Even with all the kneeling and altercations, there wasn't a single popped seam. They surprisingly resisted fake blood, and even other medics mistook them for Crye G3s. I’m definitely going to purchase more of these!"

"I've been searching for tactical pants under $100, and these are perfect. While I'm not sure how they'd hold up in heavy training, they're excellent for hunting, the range, and airsoft. They’re really comfortable, packed with pockets, and the included knee pads are adequate for basic needs. Highly recommend!"

"As an armed security officer, I wear these every day. They've held up well without shrinking or fading."

"I really like First Tactical pants; they fit well and are comfortable. Plus, they're usually cheaper than other brands."

"I need these for school, and the fit is spot on with all the pockets I wanted. Great price compared to stores!"

"I remember when I first received these pants for work a few years ago; we switched our uniforms and opted for these. Everyone, including myself, appreciated the comfort and practical features compared to the old 'BDU' style. They hold up well wash after wash, and I even bought a pair for casual wear for hiking and fishing. If you're in law enforcement or just need outdoor pants, these are a fantastic choice."

"I purchased these pants for work, and they fit well and look great. I liked them so much that I ended up getting a second pair in a different color. The pocket storage is also a plus for me."

"I've been wearing these Propper Lightweight Tactical Pants for years, and while they are lightweight and comfortable, they do wear out rather quickly. I usually go through about three pairs annually. I wish they had a longer-lasting material, especially in the back pocket where I carry my pocket pistol. However, I've never had any issues with seams or defects, which is a relief."

"I absolutely love the way these BDU's fit my body. The material is very comfortable, perfect for my everyday wear and outdoor activities."

"I've been wearing BDUs for decades, and when I tried the BDU 2.0, I was excited. However, the plastic adjustment tab broke the first time I used them. If they switched back to metal tabs, I think they could be a winner."

"For the price, these pants are okay, not great. The plastic adjustment buckles broke quickly, but overall, they’re suitable for casual hiking and rucking."

"I find these pants to be fantastic for various activities like the gym, nights out, and even working on the land. The ripstop material is strong, the fit is great, and I love how the cargo pockets lay flat, making them look sleek. They are a true deep black and I’m actually wearing them at the office right now!"

"These pants fit me perfectly in the waist, just as expected. However, the length measurement seems a bit off; I usually wear a 36/34, but these feel almost 2 inches too long. I decided to reorder a 36/32 size and will adjust them if necessary because I dislike baggy pants."

"I bought these for a hiking trip and they were super comfortable. Now, I wear them regularly, not just for hiking. They’ve become my go-to pants!"
