I prefer to wear Dixie shorts and boots. it distracts the enemy and gives me the upper hand when I'm out larping

"the crotches tend to blow out on the bdu's and the acu's, which isn't a problem if you're in the navy but can be kind of a nuisance for the rest of us." 😂

skinny jeans, "the tighter the pants, the tighter the grouping".

The difference between 2017 garand thumb and 2021 garand thumb is crazy. He has gotten way more energetic on camera

"The crotches do blowout, which isn't a problem if you're in the Navy"!!! lmao

"The crotchets blow out very often" "that may not be a problem if you're in the navy" savage. No one is safe from the roasts

I love how you filmed a slow-mo, video game style, rotating pant display in the upper right hand corner hahaha

Pro tip: If you want you hide the sound of your velcro, just scream when you rip it open

you know you love a channel when you can sit through a 27 minute video about pants.

I'll be wearing my Adidas joggers because I'm an out of shape army reserve vet with an overinflated sense of tactical prowess who has no business running off into boogaloo combat, so if I'm going to die I'm going to die in comfy pants.

With the ACUs I was always really impressed with just how much food you could spill on them and just wipe it off without any stains

“If you gotta look cool at your Yugioh match or whatever they’ll work fine” If i ain’t sending them to the Shadow Realm with my deck im sending them with my 9mm

Buy more Crye. I'm tired of re-sewing your Vertx. Thx fam

All these subtle roastings....

Silkies. Silkies for battlefield airflow. Plus, when talibs see the hammies, intimidation factor + 20. Not to mention dexterity+50, and charisma+15. Fire and ice resistance - 75 😭

Comedian General's warning: "This video contains loads of extremely dry and hilarious humour delivered with a perfectly straight face."

Yeah, i quit Yu-gi-oh a few years ago, were all grown up now, too many old people. Nerds. Still always carry a deck in a mag pouch on vest tho, just in case i have to send some SoB the the Shadow realm. Taking yu-gi-oh to a new tactical level.

I notice that none of these combat pants have a designated spot for my reflector belt.

“Crye Field pants most affordable on the list” *looks at price* You know I’m somewhat of a baggy crotch guy myself.

I love BDU pants for camping/hiking. Comfy, cut/hemmed for full range of motion, I don't have to worry about ripping them, and I can tie up the bottom to keep critters out. I can also get them cheap.

How I survived the Q course in 100% cotton ripstop with no knee pads and or crouch blowouts I will never know.

I wear board shorts and slippahs....i avoid the "shoot me first" combat pants.

"who wears underwear in the desert?" Me, who is from the desert: (looks around...)

I wear mithril long johns-they actually protect from heat and cold- and always have on hand my invisibility cloak. These combat britches are so uncomfortable the boys from da shire call them tacti-cruel.

Do you know how I know you're 5'11"? "I'm about 6ft."

This guy is so dry and unexciting but fucking hilarious. "Some of these Yugioh tournaments can get pretty lit soooo"

"If you gotta look cool at your Yu-Gi-Oh match or whatever..." Feeling called out here...

You’re a nut and i love it! You entertain me and help increase my knowledge. Keep on keepin on!

After being issued 12 sets of OCPs over the years I always liked how comfortable they were, and they make great pants for hunting. The problem is after just washing and standard use they become thin and I had to repair or replace multiple pairs due to my rifle, when slung across my front , the rails/front sight would rub against them while walking and creating an awkward hole. Full disclosure, sometimes I didn't repair the hole because it was a good way to air out the boys on those hot summer days down range.

I love the deadpan delivery of his subtle, sarcastic digs throughout these videos. Nothing like a good dry sense of humor to keep my attention, solid information on products as well.

I went through a police academy where the uniform pant was a 5.11 type pant. My mates bought 5.11s and I bought some from LA Police Gear, theirs were definitely better fitted, but they ripped like crazy. I still have the first two pairs I bought 4 years ago and wore the hell out of. Would highly recommend.

Totally agree with the TruSpec pants. I have several that have outlasted several boots. Cargo pocket rips are my most common pant failure.

your voice sounds like me when i wake up at 2 am to play call of duty when there is no lag on the internet

Stealthy dip access is key. If I can't get to my dip quickly and silently in the pants, they are a no-go.

This guy cracks me up! Love the dry delivery.

Hi, I stumbled upon your channel lately and was pleasantly surprised. You go to point with always a pinch of humour. I specially love when you point the "tacticool" factor. Keep the great work going.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Can you talk about cold weather clothing in general? Maybe a review of Cold weather combat/ hard use jackets?

If youre not operating in high-waisted stonewash jeans then are you really operating?

5-06 Manlet checking in, Crye Field pants (and shirt) in Short have everything in the right place, no mods needed. I had an Arc'teryx Alpha shell and it was insanely tough.

Dude , you are funny as hell. I hate that I just started watching your channel 8 months ago. You have easily become my favorite youtuber now. Keep up the great work man.

Glad I found this. I was shooting from a kneeling position and my wranglers ripped. Brett Farve lied to me. I don't want to look like a fuggin Walmart 3per at the range but looks like I actually need the pants.

Please keep crapping on us Airsofters, I need more content to convince my team to stop buying shitty gear.

Great reviews and videos. I appreciate what your doing. Keep up the good work brother.

I wear Tru-Spec Ascents for work, they're super nice. Super comfortable, and I love em. Never had any problems with em.

Don't you tell me my silkies aren't good underwear!!! Sky's out thighs out son! ERRR!

This channel is really outstanding.

I'm gonna fight the holy war in my shorts

Absolutely love your channel keep up the great work

I go commando. There's a reason why they call it "commando"

@15:05- have you had many ops running through aluminum factories? Would love to hear more about the dangers of "foilage". Did they allow you to at least make hats? 😂😂

3 years late but here's my pitch. I've got a couple pairs of $80 5.11s and they're awesome. Very durable material, stretchy waistband and panels for the knees and gooch, pockets for knee pads if desired. I've used them for air soft, roofing, landscaping, hiking, and just all day wear for work and shopping trips. No problems or complaints except the cords at the bottom of the pant leg to tie it are a bit long if you aren't wearing boots to tuck it into.

I got my hands on an old military pair of BDUs, including the blouse. Pretty good for the kind of area I live in.

The traction on the True-spec pants was designed for the navy to give them traction when taking a knee while on a boat.

"I know that these yu-gi-oh tournaments get pretty lit"😂😂

Real men don't wear pants into battle! Never know when you'll need your 5th limb to club someone to death.

I was issued two sets of Drifire tops and bottoms. The built-in knee and elbow pads are for gun shoots and rigging equipment.

Tactical kilts man, gotta have that airflow.

"Some of these yugioh tournaments can get pretty lit" ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US

I have been wearing Arc’teryx Leaf Combat Pats gen2 for over 6 years now, and almost noting else. Best pants ever, but of course they do not make them anymore (but I have 3 pairs stashed in my closet). The material is stretchy, comfortable and strong, like new after almost 7 years! Check their Leaf Xfunctional SV pants also, same material but bit more civilised look without thigh pockets.

Early content! Awesome info! I like buttons because they don't make noise when closing.

I only use two brands: -Kitanica: which are not really "combat pants" per say but extremely durable. -Claw Gear: outstanding, European-made, combat pants. Especially the Stalker series.

I absolutely love this channel, so much valuable and concise information. Thank you, keep it up brother, and God bless you. PS, I love how you don't bash airsoft "operators" and that is awesome because I, as an airsofter, look up to operators like you.

I recommend SRVV for excellent BDU style pants. They’re amazing. In case you’re curious, they’re very similar to Marine CUU pants.

Vertx Phantom Ops is a perfect choice, low profile, mag pockets, knife pocket and stands up well to any task .

This guy looks just like the dude from "Blues Clues", except more buff, lol

After doing LEO work and moving over to Fugitive Recovery work, I can say that the TruSpec 24/7 pants do hold up well. Some I've had for upwards of 5 years. The only downsides I've found is that the colors do tend to fade fast and the crotches are usually the first to go out. The velcro pocket closures do hold up nicely. There are plenty of storage area in the pockets although not all as practical as the design intends. Final thought is the internal knee pad pockets. They are very large kinda a one size fits all pocket and the factory kneepads can be hard to find. Most often the guys on my team use the large, thin foam pads. The only real problem with this is the pads tend to shift during movement. Another good pant that is comparable to the TruSpec in both price and quality is the Proper pant. With Proper, the pockets are fewer but the placement works better for some situations. But the sizing does seem to be a tiny bit tighter on Proper Vs. TruSpec. Both have large beltloops that accommodate my 2” wide duty belt and rig very comfortable and are great pants and will last a long time in the field for light to medium heavy uses. That's enough from me, love the videos. Please keep up the great work.

" if you're going to the range and you want to look like a veteran. Combat pants are for you" lol did I just hear that?

Good video. Another to consider is Kitanica. They make outstanding stuff that is overbuilt and bad-ass.

"It's not a problem if you're in the Navy." lmao

your voice is deadly silk

Love your videos. Most informative. Thank you for your service

Greetings from Croatia.... You'r doing a very great and educative videos..... Much of luck....keep it up!!!

Thanks for the video! For the budget minded guys the LA Police gear brand of pants are excellent and hold up well.

A pocket for my dip??? Sold! Crye it is.

The best thing about Tru Spec is that they have a clearance section. I got off duty/plain clothes police patrol pants for about $20

5.11s are the way to go. I've had pairs last through 3+ years of farm work and all kinds of work that is abusive to pants. I can train MMA in them with no loss of freedom of movement (I can still throw headkicks and work all sorts of jiujitsu). The pair I've worn to 5 years has finally worn out, and it is literally just the area over the hip pockets because I always have stuff in them. They are well worth the extra price, and you can usually get them 10-25% off if you wait for a holiday. My only complaint is that the cargo pockets could be a little larger. Also, there are only 5 belt loops, which doesn't pose a problem for my 30 inch waist, but I've seen reviews by larger people that complained about it.

For those of us who are not at as high a pay grad, the FreeSoldier version (similar to the crye field w better pocket design) is a fantastic option. I have crawled through stuff I don't care to relive, and they've come through so well. they too have a shorter crotch and an overall great cut. You can have amazing range of motion wearing these. They are extremely tough n are also 50/50. These pants really hold up, look great and don't clean you out at a $50 or less price point. Saving lives doesn't pay much so $120 to $350 for a pair of pants no matter how good, is just too much for me. Great review however and you gave me a heads up on some pants I haven't seen before. Thank you, Be Blessed. Oh and were can I get BDUs (for knock around stuff) for $20? That would be excellent.

How do you know about yu-gi-oh unless...

I personally wear my dad's old USMC camo from the early '80s, it's got red shore-party patches on the legs but they work

I like combat style pants for doing carpentry or plumbing work. The durability and pockets, awesome work.

*goes to close youtube tab, sees new Garand Thumb vid* Thanks dick.

So, tactical capri pants are out this year?

I wear cowboy cut wranglers for EVERYTHING ! the best pick up line is a "tight pair of wranglers"

I wear my Vietnam OD BDU pants on any occasion, from airsofting, paintballing, reenacting, shopping, and even in the office. Feel very comfortable, plus it's baggy. Unlike those 'tacticool' pants that seem feel small & tight especially around the thigh area, even in the biggest size they have.

Those Navy comments doe. 10/10 Banter. GT, you should totally get some custom raid modified tailoring done. Could be a cool way to revitalize those Tri-color DCU pants you have.

i rock compression pants and flip flops with my Plate Carrier and ACH when you have to defeat home invaders, but have yoga at 6

Man watched several of your videos and learned alot as a civilian/airsofter 😉 subscribed

The Truspecs fit really good if you get the 24/7 stretch bands on the waist. Good video!

Jockstrap, Wool Knee Sox, ana Kilt

I’ve been wearing Arc’teryx gear for the past couple years. No complaints so far.

Bought two pair of chinese G3's with knee pads in black multicam and use them for property work wear at our 40 ac cabin. I don't leave the property when wearing camo to avoid being called out (rightfully) as a non-Military LARPing Poser or Cosplayer, for short. But, these Fake G3's work very well for performing cabin maintenance, grilling, walk to the gate, mow, and other simple, non-painting jobs. I do a little running and gunning on our homemade range, but there is not much combat in northern Michigan. A 'little' means very little since I'm an old fat man with bad knee's.

Garand Thumb's dictionary: Gucci - Anything fancy

This topic should be updated since there are quite a few developments regarding combat pants that have taken place over the last few years.

I got a pair of 5.11 pants (I forget which ones exactly but I know they were $55) for work and airsoft. The kind of work I do is I'm an associate at Lowe's and specifically an order puller so I'm doing a lot of heavy lifting and often getting my hands dirty with larger orders. I highly suggest the pants I got because they are light, breathable, durable and have a wide variety of pockets capable of storing anything from a wallet to notepad to even a small tablet or large phone. They even have smaller pockets that are good for the average pistol mag.

Helikon-Tex makes the best BDU pants i know, they have an extra pocket on the leg pocket flap perfect for something like a folding knife etc., all seams are strong and holding up with use and they don't lose color in the washing machine, quality stuff.

great video brother, can you make a video about comunication systems

In General, if you want some really good kit for little and your in Europe, most of the British army kit is quite good, usually anything after the year 2000 the kit is usually higher quality than the older stuff which will more likely than not be heavily used and unusable for any real heavy duty wear and tear, the British body armour in general isn’t the best if you have a smaller build of body, if you have a wide chest then the body armour will be fine for you, osprey MK3 and MK4’s are good but depending on the type of armour you put in it, it will get heavy, the new virtus plate carrier isn’t a good vest so don’t pay for it, has rows of molle 7 long, so you can only fit 3 mag pouches and you have 1 row left over.

The Nyco Ripstop has it’s pros and cons. There was a case a few years back where some Allies trained with a Reserves unit, and in the last photo one guy had a tear where his nuts were hanging out. Nobody noticed until it got to their embassy.

I've been in since 2000. I've never seen one pair of BDUs or DCUs rip like the ACUs. Since we switched to the ACU cut, I've seen at least several dozen pairs of ACUs disintegrate while the user was wearing them

How are Levi Strauss jeans as a tactical pants? I'm poor and I blew all my money on Magic the Gathering cards and Mtn Dew.
