IDOGEARCombat Pants G3 camo Pants with Knee Pads Men Tactical Trousers Multiple Pocket Hook-and-Loop Adjuster

I have a tendency to rip through pants. My thighs are almost as big as my waist measuring at 30 inches each. This typically leads to me blowing my pants out when I squat or go to a knee. I ordered these pants for training with my agency and attended a combat medical class in them. During the class we had multiple altercation scenarios as well as rendering aid. From sliding on my knees to full takedowns the pants held up with ease, not even a popped seem. During this course we dealt with a large amount of fake blood (that from my personal experience felt real) and even though the pants were coated in it none of it permeated through. Multiplayer combat medics confused them for crye g3s and after seeing how the hold up are considering them for them self’s. Obviously with any clothing item especially ones you expect to abuse check the seems when you get them and off all look good they should hold up fine. I will be buying more.

I have gone to 3 other manufactures to try to find a pair of these that fit, they were all way too big around the in seem/crotch area, these fit perfectly and don't feel like I have a parachute around my waist. I'm 6' 3' 140lb so yea, I'm really skinny and as such it was hard to find a pair that wouldn't be too baggy, I usaual wear a size 29/30 waist, the small fit just the way I wanted them to, I've seen complaints about the in seem being too tight but its a perfect size for skinny guys or women with skinny waist/crotch, I've also seen complaints about the knee-pad slots being sewn shut, and while it is true that the bottom is sewn shut it is not a 'con' or a problem, simply fold the top of the flap downward inside of the pant legs and its out of the way. a very nice feature about this pants knee-pads is that there are three velcro pannels sewn onto the top and sides which attach to the velcro materal inside to pant legs which drasticaly helps prevent the knee-pads blowing out. a genius feature in my opinion. over all these were a perfect buy for me. if you are a skinny guy like me looking for a pair of these that won't look and feel like a parachute, or if you are a slendar woman, these are the pants for you. the multicam color was good and matched the rest of my multicam gear pretty well and I have no complaints about it. the only complaint I have is the lack of color options. at the time of my purchase they only had multicam and multicam black. furthermore, I have made other purchases from IDOGEAR and have been satisfied every time. I purchases two of their 'taco' style pistol pouches as well as their "taco" style rifle pouches and both have held up just fine. I will be purchasing their Combat shirt in multicam next and give a review on it. A message to IDOGEAR, you guys are doing a really good job so far, keep this up and you will get more and more business and become a bigger name. to the customers, don't be afraid to purchase from these guys just because they don't have a well known big popular name, remember people, Crye Precision, 5.11 tactical and all those other big names started from nothing at some point. don't be afraid to try new things.

This will be a somewhat longish review in hopes of helping others not be as confused as I was. Amazon sells several different versions of these Idogear G3s, all with the same "headline" name, but the pants ARE different. I bought two different versions and will outline below.Firstly, this review is based on these multicam pants: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4FFM8L5Note that on this same page, they list TWO multicams under color choice - the above as well as B06XX6P32D. The 8L5s and the 32ds have a different design and look to use different materials. Again, I am reviewing the B0C4FFM8L5s here.These pants are a great bang for the buck as Crye knockoffs. I'm pretty high drag/low speed, so don't want to look like a jackass buying $350 Cryes, but I do practice run and gun stuff like 100-7 drills (the mile version, not the 200 yard version) weekly and wanted something beyond the basic BDUs I was using, both for good articulation when bending in various positions and I also wanted hard shell kneepads for rock and puncture protection. I've used these several times now, and am very pleased with their performance. Additionally, despite Idogear's own warning about "European sizing" and ordering a size up, this version of their pants appears to be true to size (I learned this from a previous review of this stock number). I ordered the 38s, and I actually have room to spare. When closing the main velcro waist closure, I can easily overlap it and have probably a good 1.5" of room for days where I eat an entire large pizza. This version has a handy knife pocket that other versions don't. As many other reviews stated, the kneepads look funny and appear to be placed very inboard. I was worried about that until I started using them, but when I go to kneeling shooting positions, they seem to move into place and I have solid kneepad contact with the ground, despite them looking funky when you're just standing. As others have said, the kneepads are kind of a pain to get into place, and I worry about at one point ripping the seams there after a lot of removals and replacements of the pads. Otherwise, I really like these pants for what they are, and I additionally ordered a second pair in Ranger Green.Now, for comparison, I decided to order another version of the pants just to see what the differences were. I ordered these (again, the page shows them to be Idogear G3s):https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078GNBJQHFor the most part, they are the same as the B0C4FFM8L5 version. The differences are 1) No knife pockets. 2) The elastic material above the knees and the back of the waistline is different. It is a textured, rather than a smooth material. I don't see that it is better or worse than the smooth material, but just note that it looks different. 3) Most importantly, these apparently are "European sizing". I ordered the same size as I did for the B0C4FFM8L5s, but these are noticeably tighter in the waist. I can still wear them comfortably, but I am at pretty much max waist adjustment with this version. No being a pizza glutton in this version. Otherwise, again, these are pretty much the same quality as the B0C4FFM8L5s, but with the above noted design differences.Anyway, I hope that this helps alleviate the confusion for others that I had when trying to figure out which pants were which.
