5.11 Stryke Trousers
These are virtually the only trousers I wear. I got my first pair of 5.11 pants from HH about 15 years ago, and have had various 5.11 designs. All have been good, and I still have my first pair. After I purchased the Stryke trousers I never looked back, and wear them every day. I have them in various colours, but am currently wearing the first pair I bought, which have to be at least 10 years old, and most likely 12. When they are new, they shed water to some degree, but that only lasts a couple of washes. They tend to become more supple, as they age, and the colours fade, after many washes, which is most noticeable with the black. For me, the pockets are perfect, as is the fit. They are unbelievably comfortable, and hard-wearing. I was attacked by a dog, while on holiday in Greece, earlier this year, and while it ripped my 5.11s, I think they probably saved me a rabies shot. I can't speak highly enough about these trousers, and hope 5.11 keep them as they are for many years to come.
