FREE SOLDIER Men's Outdoor Cargo Hiking Pants with Belt

Amazing. Tried several other brands like CQR sent them all back. What a pain. A little loose on my medium frame but what a joy to bend squat twist etc easily. Plenty of pocket space. In Florida heat and they are great. Never ever wear jeans again. I even paired them up with a jacket to go out to eat. Have been through the wash for over a year now and look brand new. Yard work, wood shop, home repair, gun range etc. Does it all. Wish the belt loops were larger but maybe in another issue. Belt stays firm and does not slip. I just ordered two more so I am up to six or seven now. I have had raccoons climb my legs into my lap. Thought sure their claws would puncture and tear them and they didnt. I might have gone overboard on this review but I hate clothes shopping and when I find something that works for me I am amazed.

These pants are even better than expected! I've been wearing them weekly now, under all sorts of weather conditions, for the past couple of months. I was looking for a lightweight, stretchable, waterproof and breathable pair of pants. Those are the qualities that were advertised, and at the price offered they'd be a bargain if they delivered, and they have big time! The sizing was spot on, and for the price, they can't be beat. I'm especially impressed with the little details that went into the design, such as the internally mesh lined cargo and front pockets, as well as the heavy duty fabric loop which connects the button to the pants. The same goes for the heavy duty and extra wide belt loops, and their placement. I wear my keys on a carabiner attached to the front beltloop. With these pants, the belt loops are further off center than belt loops found on most pairs of pants. It's a much smarter location, so your keys don't go smackin you in the nads inadvertently. Another major bonus is the location of the cargo pockets, which are located more towards the front of the thighs, than on the side of the legs as with most cargo pants. This location seems to make the contents of the pockets stand out less, and therefor less bulky and apt to bump into stuff as they would if the they were located on the sides. The zipper closures on the cargo pockets are also superior to the standard velcro closures you find on most cargo pants. And the pockets are roomy enough to fit my cell phone, smokes, or my wallet, no problem. The pants are very water resistant, and airy. They're a great deal, and i would not hesitate to buy another pair when and if this pair wears out. My five star rating applies to company just as much to the pants themselves. I had issues with another product I purchased from Free Soldier, and the company was very easy to deal with to make things right! These pants are the third product I've purchased from Free Soldier(these pants, boots, and a pair of fleece lined snow pants), and I am more than happy with the products and the company itself, a well-deserved 5 stars all around.

Great fit. Order a size up in waist if you prefer a loose fit similar to the 550 jeans. Inseam is accurate. The belt is a joke; why companies feel that re-inventing the wheel is necessary? A hassle to use and feels flimsy, I bet the plastic pins are the first to go. The zippers are rugged and I expect them to outlast the pants. The rear pockets are a bit saggy and do not have any kind of closure; careful not to lose a wallet. Color was as expected and the description was accurate; light weight, breathable and versatile a good backpack pair of pants. Have not tried them with water/rain. At the right price these are an excellent buy.

I am so impressed with these pants—they immediately earned a five-star rating! I've been actively trying to get back into shape, and finding clothes that truly fit and move with you is essential. These deliver completely. Comfort, Fit, and Stretch: I ordered my usual size, and the fit is spot-on. They are incredibly comfortable right out of the package. The stretch is fantastic, providing full mobility without ever feeling restrictive, whether I'm active outdoors or just wearing them around. They don't bind, and the quality of the fabric is great for all-day wear. The Pockets are a Game Changer: I have to call out the pockets—they are deep and generously sized, easily holding my phone and wallet without feeling bulky or risking them falling out. A Quick Tip on the Zippers: For anyone else ordering, just a heads-up: the zippers for the main cargo pockets are cleverly tucked under a small flap/lip of fabric. I almost thought my pockets were stitched closed for a minute! Once you know to look for it, it’s a non-issue, and it actually helps keep the pockets streamlined. I took a photo to show where they are. I really like the color (I got what was ordered). The pants are extremely lightweight and the material doesn't feel thick but not too thin either. It's about 50 degrees outside right now and these are perfect. If you're looking for durable, comfortable, and functional pants, these are highly recommended. A total win!

Excellent pants. They are lightweight overall but still feel substantial. The belt that is included is not garbage either and completely usable. The extra leg pockets are subtle and zipper with a cover flap rather than a button, which is great, especially since these double as rain pants. Not being as tall as the rest of y'all, I only wish that a 29" inseam was one of the choices instead of only going down to 30". But then again, I'm used to the extra hemming costs and my seamstress loves the business.

As you will see in the video review I have included, there are definite pros and cons. First the pros: Pros: ➡️Thicker material than the CQR Runyon pants. This means they do not wrinkle as badly as the CQR Runyon pants. ➡️The feel of the pants is very nice (due to the thicker material). ➡️Comes with a skinny/thin cheap tactical belt. ➡️Love, Love, Love the design of the cargo pockets (not the placement, but I talk about that in the Cons). These cargo pockets not only have a zipper, but they also have a flap that covers the zippers. ➡️Very stretchy in all the right places. ➡️YKK main zipper. The cargo pockets do not have a YKK zipper. ➡️Elastic waistband. These pants have a better fit than the CQR Runyon pants and provide ample room through the thighs. Cons: 🙄The cargo pocket is on top of the thigh, making it very difficult to get into these pockets unless you stand up. Most tactical pants have the cargo pocket 1/2 on the front & 1/2 on the back of the leg. The pockets are usually evenly distributed between the front and the back of the leg, making them way easier to put items in and out of the cargo pocket. 🙄The belt loop system. As you will see in the review video, I have no idea why they designed the belt loop system as they did. First, you have a 3" loop on the front, a 1" loop on the side, and then the catastrophe loops in the back. On the back of the pants, they have two 8" loops that you have to try to feed a belt through. There's one thing for certain, you will have to feed a belt through the loops with the pants off. There's almost no way to feed the belt through the loops with the pants on. 🙄Lack of venting. The thing I did like about the CQR Runyon and Rocky tactical pants is that they have vents allowing you to breathe while wearing them. However, the Free Soldier version has no vents. 🙄Back pockets have no flap or cover, so be careful with what you put in them because things can easily fall out when you bend over. Lastly, one thing I have to cover is that these are NOT tactical ripstop pants. If you are looking for something along those lines then I would recommend the 5.11 TDU or 5.11 Taclite pants. I would be afraid to where these in the brush or where they might come up against even a tree branch. MAKE sure to take a look at all the reviews and especially the pictures and the videos.

These pants are great for working commercial jobs during the summer. They’re lightweight, don’t get too hot, there’s plenty of pocket space and are very comfortable

UPDATE:I bought another pair and they fixed the belt! I find everything about these to be perfect now! Perfect fit (I got a size larger both times than I normally got). They breath good, but they are not baggy, nor are they tight. They are stretchy as well, so you can move in them and size and squat and jump, etc. as well as they do not get tight in the crotch area. They look great and fit good, they just feel really good! Plus, they get noticed! Great for every purpose from hiking, to casual semi business dress (not wedding dress casual, but business casual outside or small business casual, etc.). They are near as comfortable as sweat pants! But, the fit and look great, so you don't look like a bum, while feeling as relaxed as one could be while still retaining a good look without a nice pair of jeans or real khakis etc. Finding the right size is key though, I actually ended up going with 2 sizes up from what I used to wear, but I am heavier right now than I have been. Yet, these are form fitting enough even when I get back down on my body fat, I expect they will still fit good. -------------- I would get these again, as they are really nice looking and comfortable and keep me warm and yet I do not get hot in them. However, the belt is built in, you can not remove it, and the design is annoying. The clip is metal, and it goes into a loop sown in place. However, the loop sown in place, has no give and it is impossible to buckle back up without looking, you can not feel your way to do up the belt like any normal belt. It also is super annoying, as it is maybe half a inch from the pants, so your thumb can barely hold on it as you look the metal clip into it. The belt is the only flaw with these though, it is a annoying. It is functional and works fine, but when you go to take a leak, it is a hassle trying to get the darn thing undone and then when you go to buckle it up again, it is a hassle. They need to ditch the sown on belt and make it a normal belt. This is a major design flaw. Other than that though, these things are amazing!

I live in a humid and warm area. The pants was comfortable in my outdoor hike, perspiration drying is good. Will get another colour of the pants. It fits alright.

PARA IR DE PESCA

Ended up adding a softshell water repellant via handwashing which worked to make these reasonably rain resistant (okay so I just walk the dog but in all weather). To get the length I need had to go big on waist sizing. Honestly can't imagine any sort of military application here (thankfully).

Son repelentes al agua son muy lijeros frescosos y te dan mucha movilidad sus bolsas son grandes ademas la calidad es excelente

Es muchosimo mas comodo que jeans, despues de usar este tipo de pantalones sientes que todos los demas son rigidos, tiesos, limitantes
