A few years ago I bought a couple pair of 5.11 Tactical’s Covert Khakis. I really liked them, to the point where I wore each pair twice a week for almost two years. Just recently I lost a button on one of them, about 5 years after I bought them. Mrs wizardpc kindly repaired that last night.
So, really durable, then. Virtually no signs of wear.
My only complaint is that they shrank about a half inch in inseam the first time I ran them through the dryer on high heat. Learned my lesson on that one. So they’ve been a little highwater-ish.
A couple of years ago, 5.11 discontinued the Covert Khakis. By the time I heard about it, my size was sold out everywhere. It made me sad.
When I was writing the post on the Columbia ROC pants I discovered that 5.11 had come out with a Covert Khaki 2.0
