Finally someone seems to have gotten it right! I've been in public safety for 19 plus years and I've tried every tactical pant on the market. The problem with most is the sloppy baggy look. Proper has figured it out with these for sure. They are well made with just enough material, no extra bagginess, and very durable. If you want a better tactical pant with functionality and a great look, these are you pants.

The pants fit great except the thigh and butt area could use a little more room or those areas could be made with a stretch type material but then again I try not to miss leg day. The cut of the pants is definitely closer fitting than the regular Propper pants. I’m about 5’09 195 lbs and I ordered a 34x30, which was great except for the before mentioned issue. The waist of the pants fits well. It does not have your normal elastic waist but instead it expands slightly on the side like higher quality uniform pants. I like the pockets and their positioning. The large pockets on the legs are nice and the they have smaller compartments inside. These pants use the normal Propper Teflon coated fabric that repels liquid. I did notice the material seemed a little heavier than previous Propper pants I’ve had. I ordered a second pair after getting and wearing the first pair.

For those of you who are looking for a "slimmer" and more covert alternative to 5.11 Taclite Pro pant, this is it. The Taclite Pro tends to be more on the baggy side in the waist, legs and crotch area. These Proper Revtac's are a "classic fit" and indeed slimmer in those areas, but you still get the pocket space needed for your gear. If you carry a lot of gear, you'll probably still like the Taclite Pro better, but for small to moderate amount, these work fine. Overall sizing does feel smaller due to the classic fit, but the elastic waist band helps adjust.

They have a rubber-like lining on the inside of the waist band (gripper strip) that helps the pants stay up (great for conceal carry). The little pocket on the outside of the side pocket will fit newer (larger) mobile phones like iPhone 6,7,8 or Moto Z Force. There are also two dedicated and well-placed "knife" pockets on the hips. No annoying "flaps" on the back pockets so as not to get in the way of untucked shirts.

The ripstop fabric and stitching appears to be quality and durable. Because the Revtac is slimmer and not baggy like the Taclite Pro, it looks more like a regular pant ...a more covert and less tactical look.

I'm comparing them to 511. First off this is my first pair of Propper pants so I can only compare a one time purchase. In the past I've bought 511 and half the time the pants became unwearable. First for continued usage, which is not a negative, I just wore them out. But then I started to have another problem which is shrinkage, specifically in the length. So this time I've bought the Propper Revtac pants. I lost weight and had to do down from a 34/35 to a 32 waist. So I bought these pair and so far they've outperformed the 511. I'll report if the length changes but so far so good.

From the knee down, and the waist fit perfectly fine. I genuinely love how they sit in those two areas. The thigh area is absolutely horrendous. I am muscular and "fat" thighs. I always have. I have strong legs and they show in size. I can't get these pants any farther up my body because they can't fit over my thighs. A size 40 feels like I am wearing a 15 gallon black trash bag and a size 38 feels like a compression cuff a doctor would use to take your upper arm pulse. This also means I don't have room for extra magazines in my cargo pockets, and the knees don't flex went kneeling or prone trying to crawl around.

The button at the top also doesn't function. You snap it closed and it falls open. I'm serious, I wast even wearing the pants and the button unsnapped itself and refused to stay snapped together.

besides all that, it seems like just another medico "civil protection" product.
