Propper Men's F520538

As a larger female, I have a harder time finding pants to wear to work. I work in a correctional setting and need pockets and flexibility for different situations. The rip stop fabric is nice also.

I really wanted these to be the perfect pants. Four small issues add up to 4/5.I have a 34 inch waist, and usually buy relaxed fit 33x30, so after reading other size reviews, I bought one pair in large regular and one in medium short.As to fit-- medium fits, but snug, large is like wearing a tent, even with the side adjustments. Also the side (waist) cinches are under a belt loop and difficult to adjust, and virtually impossible to wear a belt with them cinched in. Short is too short for my 30 inseam, long is longer than a 32 inch inseam. The leg cuffs have laces to allow them to be "bossed" onto boot tops, so the excess length is manageable. And bossing your pants to your boots is handy in any case.Perfect pants would have more accurate sizing.So, about half a star off for fit.The knees have double layer fabric. Great feature. If the double laying was about one inch higher and half an inch lower, it would be perfect. The double layering does NOT have an opening at the bottom for dirt release. The weave of the fabric is tight and will likely not allow much penetration, however, fine dirt, sand, and concrete dust will likely accumulate.The cargo pockets are HUGE. So large they are not really usable. For size comparison, you can't quite fit an iPad in them, but you could put two full size 1911s and four magazines in each one (or a small dog). The tops of the cargo pockets are at the perfect height for access, but the huge size means reaching to the bottom of the pocket requires Stretch Armstrong arms, or bending over.The front of the cargo pocket cover flaps are also stitched down. Not sure yet if this is a plus or minus.The rear pockets are "jetted" (internal) instead of "patch" with two button flaps. The buttons are protected by a second layer of fabric, keeping them out of the way and free from snagging. Jetted pockets have a tendency (in my experience) to allow the contents to shift. My wallet wanders in these. The cargo pockets have the same two buttons that are covered.I am buying several more pairs. Until I find a better cargo pocket.

Well made but you should size up.

Runs about 1 size small. Couldn’t even button them. My other pair by 5.11 say the same size and fit with just a little extra room. The look and feel good just didn’t fit well.

Cheap comfortable pants that hold up nicely

The pants fit great. I love the deep cargo pockets and perfect they sit at the waist. They are a tad loose in the legs but that’s perfectly fine if you need to use them outdoors especially on a hot day. I bought small short as I am 5’8” 150 lbs. also, they are a tad longer then I expected but really it’s not a problem at all. Overall 10/10

pants hold up very well i use them for security work.Only con is the ZIPPER

These are not the best pants, but you get a little more out of them than what you’re paying. They are fairly durable and comfortable. The length and waist are true to size. Plenty of room in thigh.Quality control has gotten pretty bad the last few years compared to pants I have purchased in the past. The zipper is poorly constructed, so you have to be careful not to unzip it too far or the zipper will separate. I probably won’t buy this style again (I’m going back to button fly), but they are otherwise a decent pair of pants.

Zipper not as strong.

Good

do i realy have to say anything!!!!! top quality

Nothing to dislike----Buy with confidence.

I like the comfort and fit. The extra pockets. I use them for work as a security guard.
