[QUOTE="CharlieMurphy, post: 2803944, member: 31193"] Vertex has a sale on their AirFlow pants, don't have any but thought about grabbing some. Don't have Blackhawk pants but I have their boots and they have held up well and are comfortable. Also have some of their button up short sleeve shirts with padded shoulder for shooting but they are a little big so I never wear them. Actually, I might sell them if anyone is interested. My wife would be happy to have to space back. The tactical clothing lines might be useful and tough, especially if you need all those pockects and are in an urban setting. In real world use, it's hard to beat a pair of thick Carhartts or Wranglers. When I am going to to in brush, especially where there are blackberries/thorns, no way I would wear thin tactical pants. The pockets are nice but I have found that if you fill up those pockets it ends up hindering movement and you have to be concerned with stuff falling out and bouncing around while running. I would much rather have a backpack that is secured with straps in the front or even a fanny pack lol. Not to mention I have seen people have the same Carharts for long time through hard use and they are still going strong. My .02 cents. I really try to put my stuff through hard use so if we ever get any SHTF situation I can limit the amount of equipment failures/inadequaticies that are bound to happen. [/QUOTE]
