- The 5.11 Apex Pants - amzn.to/2qIRKt7 - these tactical pants have probably been the most request pair of pants that I do a review on. They check most of the boxes of what people are looking for in a tactical pant - the are pretty streamlined, but can still hold a lot of gear. They're pretty lightweight, stretch, are super comfortable, and are still durable. The 5.11 Apex Pants should certainly be one that you consider.

Sorry, idk what happened to this video and the ghosting... I already uploaded it and deleted my original files, so unless I re-film and re-upload, it is what it is I guess. :(
Last Line Of Defense great vid's man, I had lurked for so long before becoming a subscriber and look forward to your videos. In your opinion which of the different style of tactical pants that you have tried so far, would you say has a true or close to true slim fit as possible?
The 511 Apex are hands down my favorite EDC pants.
I wear them every day. Got them in almost every color they offer.
I bought these at a 5.11 store in person, and got the whole run down on these pants. The pocket in the pant leg cuff is another hidden hand cuff key. These pants were designed for undercover ops in warm climates (they are fine in the cold too, I wore mine all winter), thats why theres a hidden flex cuff slot, and 2 hidden hand cuff key slots. By far the most conferrable pants I have ever worn in my life, the crotch and seat are very roomy yet not bulky. the entire crotch is spandex so your crotch can breath and it dosnt pinch. you can hold a lot of gear on these with out them pulling down (I have a 5.11 Trainer belt 1.5") - very secure fit, all the cargo pockets are divided and designed to hold rifle magazines, and support is evenly distributed. Worth every penny in my opinion. Also the size is spot on, whatever your size is, order these in them - all 5.11 pants are true size, I havnt had an issue yet with my size being different in different styles.
I've been wearing these for work and off-time and I LOVE them!! They're the most comfortable pants I've worn and they're low-profile.
LLOD just made me my custom appendix holster. One word. AWESOME!!! ITS SO COMFORTABLE. Great holster for my CCW.
Mario DeAngelis glad you're liking it!
These are my favorite pants, I have them in 3 different colors , super comfy and they just work. I love the low profile cargo, You can barely tell they are even there. Great vid mike!
Can i ask you if they shrink a bit when you wash them?
Not only is this a great tactical pant, but it is an amazing traveling pant, especially for traveling on a plane. Verrrrry comfortable and non-descrip so as to maintain a low profile. Fabric stretches and very cool.
This is easily becoming my favorite channel on CZcams. Great work man.
Daniel Frey same man
Thanks guys, appreciate the support!
Bought a pair of the shorts in late August and have become my favorites. Thinking of trying the pants.....thanks for the video!
I love these pants. I were the navy blue version everyday on duty so they are used a lot on the streets of Vegas. I've tried various pants and these are my favorite. As a matter of fact I just bought a pair for off duty just because the cargo pockets are dang near invisible which I love.
I live in Vegas and wondered about how hot these pants are compared to other 5.11 pants.
Want to buy them for them for a certain hot climate that im deployed in.
The 511 apex are my favorite pair of pants. After watching your defender flex video, I went to the 511 store to try them out. I ended up buying two pairs of the apex instead. I'm waiting for the straight leg version of the defenders. Your videos are great sir. Thanks for your time.
The APEX pant is issued to CIA field operatives for a low vis tactical pant. The hidden pocket in the leg is a handcuff key pocket as well. We just released the Capital pant in the 5.11 Jacksonville store. Basically a new version of the APEX. Check them out!
I agree with the rest on being one of my favorite CZcams channel. I wait for you to review items before I will buy them funny how I'm very happy with the items I buy. Great reviews and channel keep up the great work👍👍👍
Excellent review! Thumbs-up.
The only one thing I didn't saw in your review was mentioning the back belt loop, which is great IMO.
left leg cuff pocket; for mini throwing star, those things we need in a pinch.
Woot! Great work and thanks for the time, effort, humor, and style. Cheers!
Great video as always! Keep up the great reviews!!
Great video. I have been wearing the 5.11 stryke pants for 5 years now and love them. One of the best features to me is that the cargo pockets don't ride below the knee. Nothing worse than putting something heavy in the cargo pocket and having it rub against my calf all day. Are the Apex cargo pockets above the knee as well? Thanks and keep up the great reviews!
Great vid as always keep it up!
I love these and the Stryke TDU pants. I work as a Correctional Officer and work at least 12 hours a day. The standard issue uniform is some unbranded baggy BDU type of pants while functional they were way to baggy for my taste and once I got these Instantly sold, tactical enough to carry all my shit while being light and comfortable. Bought 6 pairs total 4 for work and 2 for casual.
Ha ha you finally made the review. I was hoping that you would enjoy them a little more. These are my go to pant for just about every situation. Love them for the summer time due to they are slightly in my opp cooler. I've hiked in these, city walking and church. Also I may add they due shed a fare amount of water. Thanks for the video's.
Check out the Wrangler Riggs pants. Although they are not technically "tactical", they serve that role well.
Wich of the 5.11 pants have the lowest waist?
The stuff on my belt crashes with my vest, so i need new pants that ride as low i can get them.
would these work well with a fully decked out battle belt?
I knew I recognized you from somewhere. You were on randomfrankp's room tour projects. Badass pc setup. Cool channel you got here man.
Haha yeah, I had a few people tell me that - I didn't about it at all - guess he just found that gallery online.
and picked up the
2060590a1
impressed: packaging, charger quality tooling, light throw and yes, the on / off button is just.... ok
Being a former Marine MP I've worn probably "every" tactical pant on the market. For functionality, price and fit; LAPG Atlas pants and the BFE stretch pants beats them all.
Their new BFE stretch pants are great, I just wish they had a teflon coating
Apex are nice. My favorite are the fast tac for hot summer days and Stryker I wear year round.
Cool review. Be buying one ASAP
At work, we are switching to these pants for our uniforms later this year. At $80 a pair from our supplier, I am not sure how happy I am.
Vertx delta stretch is my personal favourite as well.
Would love to see a video discussing AR pistols and the different rules and regulations that's are involved with owning/building one.
build an sbr, be a man
Looks like I'm buying a pair of these too!
Any chance of a short video discussing what kind of fitness stuff you are into also. I think fitness is pretty important to self defense and would like to see your take on it.
gymtard this gets asked a fair amount, I'll think about tossing it into a vlog type video, possibly.
32x32? do you even lift bro?
Leg pocket in the cuff is for handcuff as well. FYI
So I have a question for you what is the best pants for every day carry I'm a food delivery person and get in and out of my car a lot and walk around a lot in all kinds of weather so what do you recommend?
My new favorite pant, I wear these 5 days a week and can’t find anything I don’t like about them. I have Stryke’s that do nothing but hang out in the closet since I found the Apex.
Propper has come out with new HLX pants that look interesting.
I've got these pants and they are very comfortable to wear. They have a fairly low waist band. I find that loading the pockets out feels very strange as the pants seem to be bouncing out everywhere. For me these trousers are for casual / office wear and trail hiking.
go to tactical distributors and try the carlos rey 2.1 tactical pants....i love them
Do you have any of the tru-spec pants to review? Ive been debating on them but wanna see what you think of them also
Question for you guys who have these. Do these have enough stretch for AIWB carry in your normal size or is going up in size recommended? I'm 6 ft. 205 lbs and normally wear a 38 size waist, and carrying AIWB in my blue jeans is doable but uncomfortable.
Curious if you have had a chance to try out the Boxer Tactical Apogee belt? If you have, what are your thoughts? Thanks for the great videos. Always look forward to seeing them.
Thanks Mike. Great video. Great channel.
Thanks Ward, and thanks for watching!
Great review. Thanks. Ever considered doing a review or heads up comparison between a 511 pant and the Kitancia RSP?
Very nice Mike
Just took my apex pants off a little earlier. I like them, but I think my stryke pants are more comfortable. Both pairs of pants are great tho. I like to stick my extra pistol magazine in the back left mag pocket, especially since I do not use an IWB holster with a spare mag carrier.
apex are far better in hot weather, low vis is always a plus, and have articulated knees
Just purchased this product as well as the Vertx Phantom ops. The Vertx seems to be made to be more durable? I do like the feel and look of the Strke 5.11 better for my job. All are new and I'm not sure how durable any are yet but as said the Vertx just feels like is the more durable of the three but as stated I like the looks/pockets of the 5.11 Stike the best.
Great videos, will definitely be getting some. Do you think ak mags would be awkward as far as fitting?
I've got these pants in a 36/36 which is my usual size but the Apex is really baggy. The worst problem though is that I like to wear by belt pretty tight and that causes these pants to bunch up a heap. It's kind of a shame because otherwise I really like the pants.
nice. i love these. i wanna try the defender flex
Can you reccomend a pair that have wide legs, partticularly the lower leg. more like a boot cut!!! Thanks Mike!
Can someone help? I dont know which ones to go with but I need a pair for paintball, the range, that is slim and not too excessive. I'm kinda a minimalist
I still love the 5.11 Stryke pant features the best but I'll have to give these a try. Great review, I've been waiting for it.
Hi i have problem with blown crotch jeans. googled, reddited and quora-ed and found 5.11 pants for its durability for my despatch job using motorcycle.
Just wanna find out a last question about which pant is more suitable for me mostly riding bike and walking alot everyday under hot sun and passing rains. Apex or stryke?
Cheers
I ordered a pair and the stitching started to fall apart at the knee after one day in an office setting and one wash. I emailed 511 over a week ago and havent heard back. I expected more for $80.
These are good pants! I wear them everyday for my work. I love cargo pants, but I'm turned off by the big flappy flaps that most cargo pants have for every day out in public wear. These pants are more technical and they don't scream tactical.
Both 511 & Condor are doing jeans with rear mag pockets. How about a head to head comparison?
have the ridge line, there awesome pants. thanks for vid.
That leg spot at the base of the leg is for my hip cannon that runs parallel to my right leg. So I don’t get abrasions.
Warm weather is apon us. Do you have recommendations for shorts and your aiwb carry?
Please review your Magpaul wallet! Looking for a new wallet.
Have you tried the 5.11 jeans yet! I saw some shot show reviews on them but nobody was wearing them...
Hidden Hand Cuff Key configuration, Hell yeah, sign me UP.
When have you been wrongfully detained by law enforcement before? My buddie was joking about using it when he bolts from the squad car after his first dui arrested to come
@@mikedimond8816 The Hidden HC Key is not to be used with Legitimate Law Enforcement engagements and or detainment(s).
Hi, would love to see a review of the KUIU Tiburon Pant 👍
are these the only ones 511 has with zipper cargo pockets
Hi! Do these pants have inner knee protection pockets?
Have you tried the Magpul pants? They look pretty interesting.
Literally just got some delivered today!
Where should I buy from or order couples and how much?
Hey could you review the Propper tactical brand of pants? It's just a bit more affordable in terms of a tactical pair of pants. I frequent the tacticalgear website!
So, I think you should try out the LAPD pants now that you've tried all the expensive guys. I have the Apex and the 5.11 Taclite's, and I honestly enjoy my LAPG Operator's better.
This is the best pant I have ever worn
Have you ever done first glass gear BDU pants from Uniform Warehouse?
Hi i watch your Vlog, love your reviews ... my queries is i am between 31 to 32 waist and i normally wear size 32 for my pants, recently I bought the 5.11 Stryke pants in 32 waist but it was a little lose, so should I go for size 31 or 32 in the 5.11 Apex pants please suggest, looking forward to it 🙏
AND you have a Dangerous But Good shirt on! Right on brother!!
Is tactical pants suits also wearing in the kitchen?.
I think they put two handcuff key pockets because if you are handcuffed from behind you can reach for the key on back handcuff key pocket and if you are handcuffed on your front, you reach for the key on your left leg. sorry for my grammar. i"m not that good in English.
The hidden pocket in the waist is ok, but the "hidden" pocket on the ankle can be spot a mile away.
A useful customization could be: you have them tapered around the ankle, thus removing the "hidden" pocket (quite pointless, actually), and then you can sew it inside one of the front pocket as a coin pocket, or anywere else you think you may need it.
What's the LENGTH of the pants ?
How is the Magpul wallet working
The hidden pockets are most likely for escape and evasion tools
Best damn pant there is! Love them!!!
I'm new to appendix carry would you up size waste measurement?
These are my favorite pants ever, now called the Ridge pant. I like a much more aggressive tapered leg than most, so I usually take them to a tailor and get them tapered from the knee down to a 14in circumference at the foot opening. Perfect for me, just the right amount of loose around the thigh and just the right amount of tight around the calf and ankle. Freedom of movement is great, and much reduced sound and wear from kicking the bottom hem. Plus this style of cut adds a very subtle cyberpunk techwear aesthetic quality
Dude same! The newer Meridian pant are excellent as well. Fit is almost the exact same, just a little bit more low profile, a softer, lighter just as shell like material. Best pants I own and I only wear both exclusively. Everything in terms of pocket layout, material and aesthetic on both are top tier
Are these pants more slim than the ABR pro pants?
looking for mag pockets on the side
I like that you actually wear the pants so I can see how they fit. If some people bitch about it they are watching for some strange reasons that I simply am not looking for.
Reviews that are just table top for pants suck.
Have you thought about reviewing the Kuhl renegade pants. I have been seeing a good number of Kuhl pants at the range.
Kuhl pants seem to have fewer pockets up high / up front than I like - but I'll look through their models and see if there are maybe some that'd be a better fit for me.
have you tried Pentagon pants?
Could you please review the Grip6 minimalist belt?
Do a review on the Carharrt RipStop Mens Pants. Retail $50
do make anything for a Sig p320?
keep hearing about kuhl pants , any plans on reviewing any in the future.
Hidden pocket is usually for a hand cuff key...or for what ever you want
Hey you make a iwb holster for the glock 30 with olight baldr mini ?
Where can I order a holster any website?
Try out the LA Police gear Atlas pants. Budget tactical pants, seem very nice for the cost
I'll check out LA Police Gear's current selection. I had an old pair of tactical pants by them a couple years back and they were great for the money - but they were just kind of the typical, baggy, very tactical looking pant.
What size do you wear?
How tall and heavy are you and also W size and Length?
Great review. Should probably zip it up though 😂
