LA Police GearStretch Ops Women's Tactical Pants, 7 Pocket Cargo Pants for Women, Ladies Durable Outdoor Flex Hiking Pants

I’m 5’2”, 135ish after having my baby, I’ve had to pretty get a new wardrobe. I hate buying clothes. I am also a K9 handler, on training days we are able to wear tactical pants like these, my old ones were tight/ didn’t fit so I’ve been looking for something to replace them that didn’t break the bank. These pants are awesome! I really especially like that the waist is higher and no butt crack hangs out when bending over! I will say though that I tried the short size, and they were super short so if you like your pants to sit on your boots or past your ankle get the regulars or long. Like I said I’m 5’2” and the regulars are perfect. Cargo pockets are a little small but workable. Very comfortable pants.

A little tight but not bad.

PROS:- Nice flat pockets, but roomy enough on the side for a cell phone, knife, tools, etc- Lightweight- Flattering look- The least wide-leg work pant I've found in the past 8 years!- Pet hair doesn't stick. This is huge for anyone that has cats or dogs or if you work with animals.- Rip-stop material holds up- After 9 months, no sign of fading yet- Little-to-no shrinkage- Available in short length, which is approx 30" inseam on larger sizes (size 16-18). Size 20 short seems like it has a 31" inseam My coworker said shirt length is shorter on size 2. She likes a long inseam & went with regular length despite being under 5'.- Velcro close pockets on the side, but not on the bum (thank goodness!)- Low-rise sits a bit higher than other brands & stylesCONS:- Velcro (Read below to see why this is a con to me)- Low-rise (great when you're thin)................Thankfully the only Velcro is on the flap for the side/thigh pockets. I'm not a fan as my cell doesn't fit fully in the side pocket so one portion ends up being tucked behind it (which works just fine) - but the piece of the Velcro that the flap would otherwise cover ends up grabbing at the material from my top when I'm wearing a uniform dress sweater. When I wear button-ups, the Velcro is NOT an issue and not even noticed. TBH, I'm thrilled that there's no Velcro on the back pockets (something I've run into on other work pants)!I found these pants to run true to size IMO. The 1st pair I bought was a size larger based on reviews I'd read. While I initially thought they fit fine & I do still wear them, I find they're bunched up in front because I have to belt them to stay up. It's not bad if you're shirt covers that part, but by going up a size, I ended up with longer pants which isn't helpful to me. After buying several pair in my actual size instead of sizing up, I have come to realize that what I initially thought was ok, really doesn't feel or look as good as the pants that are all my usual size. Do what's right for you :-)These pants are holding up beautifully. I have 4 pair in 3 colors despite my uniform only being olive drab green (ranger colors). I had the charcoal grey & wear those with my grey dress sweater for meetings.I bought a black pair to wear on vacation to Southern Florida in Dec & was absolutely thrilled with them. If I was still thin, I'd have bought the tan/caramel color. Being at my heaviest weight ever, I wasn't sure if the light color would be flattering & I didn't have time to chance the need to exchange them. The black pants were perfect for vacation. I wore them for travel, sightseeing & out to dinner. They're much lighter and cooler than denim plus look so much nicer.I'm 5'3", with a longer torso. I would love if these pants were a little shorter to start so I could wear them with very flat shoes. Since they're a teeny bit long, I wear them to work with safety toe shoes that keep them just off the ground. For vacation I wore a sandal with a 2½"heel.I love that these pants are not near as bulky or baggy as so many other tactical or work pants are. I've been through many brands and even tried men's Carhartt pants through a work contract. While I bought all these LA Gear pants on my own instead of through work, these are by far the most flattering work pants I've had in over 10 years.Now with that being said, these pants ARE low rise. If you've had other low-rise tactical pants, these may sit a bit higher than some, but lower than others. They're nowhere near midrise when compared to jeans & whatnot.I do wear a belt to help keep these in place, but at 170+ pounds and being over 45 y/o, I would not be thrilled having to tuck a shirt in, especially if it's clingy. I'm able to tuck in a cami or performance wear T-shirt under a polo or button up that I don't tuck in. I know not everyone can get away with that for work. Since I'm one of 2 females surrounded by a bunch of younger men at work, I wouldn't be comfortable with my pants gapping at the back when bending or squatting.If you're wearing a dark color shirt or it's long enough to tuck in loosely (w/o clinginess) you can get away with tucking it in & maybe not looking like you have a major muffin top.I don't need a high-waist, but would like these a tad higher since many of us use these for work and stretch, squat & bend frequently.The fabric of these pants does have a little bit of stretch to them throughout. That's great for movement, but without a belt they may feel like they're falling down a bit as your day goes on, even when they're the perfect size. With a belt, I don't notice an issue like that, but without a belt, both my size 2 coworker & I have had that issue.Overall, she & I love these pants. They're holding up beautifully. IDK about the lighter colors, but the dark green, dark grey & black haven't shown any stains yet. IDK if they're stain resistant or if I've just been lucky. I do believe they repel liquid though which would help prevent staining.Unlike a few other major brands of tactical pants, these pants are not so baggy that I have to hear swishing sounds as I walk. Nope, none of that. These are actually flattering! I never thought I'd find pants I wear as part of my uniform that I also like enough to wear in my personal life. While no pant is perfect and none will fit every body the same, these have been great.If you're on the fence, give them a try.

I’m 5’9”, 175-179 lbs. I wear a size 10 in 5.11 Icon pant and 12 in Stryke. I bought these in the size 12 and couldn’t even get them up over my butt, they were so tight on my thighs. Im not skinny but I’m not fat either, average is the best term and I don’t have any disproportionate body parts which makes trying to buy uniform pants SO DAMN INFURIATING. I’d need to go up to a 16 probably if I were to pursue these pants but I’m not. I’ll never try anything from LA Police Gear again after this experience, I’m that turned off. I thought 5.11 was bad with the sizing, this beats it by a mile. Don’t buy or if you do, buy every size and keep trying until you get it right. I personally can’t be bothered. If these were men’s pants and we were men this wouldn’t be an issue. I don’t know what size 12 woman they used as the model for these pants but it was most likely a teenage boy instead of a grown ass woman.

The pants are well made and exactly what I was looking for. Great material. Not as much flex as I expected but great work pants. The size guide is way off and the pants were really snug. I weigh 125 and am 5’2” tall. Admittedly I have a stocky waist but a 10 short barely fit. I’m muffin topping all over the place. If nothing else, maybe they’ll motivate me to lose 10 pounds because I would love to wear them and actually be able to breath.

I know a lot of reviews have said the sizing is inaccurate. I wear a size 8 in jeans. Other brand EMS pants that size, I swim in and have to size all the way down to a two like my dress pants and still have a weird fit about them. These pants I get in a size eight and love the fit. They are not baggy and they not tight. I don't have to shimmy my way in them. The upper area is a nice kind of snug for me. I don't have any issues moving around in them. They are a little stiff and not a stretchy as I assumed with the name if them. Not a complete deal breaker. I like how they look and fit on me. I ended up ordering more.

These are golden.They’re breathable and durable.The fit is perfect. I do wish they had more leg pockets, but they’re worth it.

As someone who wears a uniform everyday, comfort matters. The pants fit overall pretty well, material is a tad thin so I worry how long they will last. But overall, colour was correct, size runs small so size up and they’re comfortable!

Trop petit pour moi

The pants are stretchable and comfortable. You can sit/run/exercise easily. I wish they were more high waist, but I think it's an issue with pretty much all tactical pants. I'm 168 tall, and the regular length I ordered was a bit short. So next time will definitely go for long. My hips about 98 cm and the size 8 ended up being big for me, especially at waist, but belt helps :) so I'm wearing them for work. Next time will take 6 long. I like the quality and would definitely recommend them.

Was very pleased that they offered my size as I struggle being short and slim. They fit GREAT, seem well made so they should last and I have two more pairs coming

Not that stretchy. Cool design. Small fit. Order at least one size up.
