Propper Men's Lightweight Tactical Pant - Durable (Style JQGO)

Our review of the Propper Men's Lightweight Tactical Pant finds it best suited for active professionals who need durable, comfortable workwear that stays light in warm conditions. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of breathable ripstop fabric with a DWR Teflon coating that resists stains and light moisture while remaining easy to move in, so users who spend long hours on their feet or work outdoors get a pant that performs without feeling heavy.

Key Features

• Lightweight ripstop: A cotton and polyester ripstop blend keeps the pant breathable and reduces bulk for easier movement during long shifts.
• DWR Teflon coating: Fabric protector repels stains and liquids so the pant stays cleaner and lasts longer between washes.
• Multiple pockets: Ten pockets including reinforced hand pockets, magazine and welt cell phone pockets, and internal wallet pockets give organized storage for tools and everyday carry.
• Reinforced wear areas: Seat and knee reinforcements increase durability and allow the addition of knee pads without changing the pant profile.
• Comfort fit: An action-stretch side elastic waistband and relaxed cut through the hip and thigh keep the pant comfortable for all-day wear.

Who It's For

The Lightweight Tactical Pant is aimed at law enforcement, security, field technicians and anyone who needs rugged work pants that are still comfortable in warm weather. The breathable ripstop and relaxed fit make these a practical choice for jobs involving a lot of walking or kneeling.

Those who need heavy waterproofing or insulated winter pants should look elsewhere, since the pant is water resistant and stain repellent but not fully waterproof or insulated for cold conditions. Users wanting a very slim or fashion-forward cut may also prefer a different style.
