Emersongear Combat E3 bdu Pants Tactical Pants with Knee Pads Black

I have ordered 4 pairs of these pants, they are perfectly suited for my activities. I did have some trouble with sizing, but that's not uncommon for me. I am six two-ish, and weigh 155 lbs, a size medium fits me perfectly, except for the knee pads, they are just above my knee when I kneel down. A size large allows the pads to hang a bit lower, right where they need to be for my kneeling, but as expected, are a bit too large in the waist. Hook and loop adjusters at rhe waist and down the leg help to make a better fit. I remedied this situation by simply adding a bit more loop fastener around the waist, now they're tip-top. Very well made, I have worn them numerous times metal detecting, doing heavy yard work, crawling around under my truck in the driveway, and they show little signs of wear, and no rips. I have washed them on the washer's heavy duty setting many times, and they still look almost new. The company that makes and ships them gets them to you very fast, and has a great return/exchange policy. I would recommend these pants to anyone that participates in activities with much knee to ground contact. Plenty of pockets to store any extra gear you may need for said activities.

I purchased these pants for someone else and ordered his actual size and they fit well. We expected the knee pads to be sewn on to the outside of the pant as it appears in the picture and is how other pants we had ordered from other brands in the past had been. However, instead there is a piece of extra material on the knee area with an opening to slip the provided knee pad into so the hard rubber part is exposed. Once the knee pad is inserted it looks just like the picture. This is okay for us since they are to be used for work pants, and the way it is made the knee pad fits very securely into it, but I wanted to let others know in case it makes a difference to them for their type of use.

I did a lot of research to make sure I had the right size... and was still a bit worried until they arrived. With it's adjustments it fits me better than any other pants I own. I got these for intense indoor and outdoor activities. So far every seam, velco patch, etc look to be very sturdy. It takes some significant adjustment to get the knee pads to fit right but I never have to worry about them being in the right place. If I hit the ground they are ALWAYS where I need them to be. They are far more comfortable and less restrictive than any of the separate knee pants that can be added to "regular" pants. I expect to buy a few more of these.

I wear a 33 and the L size fits great. It's marked as a 34. Nice non baggy cut. The kneepads sit about an inch too high for me even with the adjusters let out all the way, so they aren't likely to work well for me. This is odd, since I dont have long upper legs. Quality control is poor, with at least one pocket having unsewn Velcro.

Can’t get better without spending big money on crye or similar. Had almost half a dozen pairs of these. Really the only issue I had long term with these Emerson garments is they fade over time. That’s my fault for using detergents with optical brighteners and hot water to clean. Everything else is lovely. Very old pair I had ate it’s own Velcro closure and eventually ripped them up and off but the stitching remained. Rarely you may find a 8/10 Stitch run somewhere but 95 percent of these pants are made exceptionally well and I’ve had many pairs to evaluate. In my opinion these are more durable than the g3 type with the elastic materials around the back and knees. Perhaps not as ventilated but in terms of durability a more solid and reliable garment. You won’t be disappointed. Also, I’m just about 5’10” 150 lbs and I’m in between small and medium but prefer medium because I IWB EDC and the extra inch or two in the waste makes all the difference. If the leg bodies of the small and the waste of a medium had a baby that would be ideal. Any way, purchase with confidence. Very quality product for the price

I have no idea whom these are being made for?? I am. 38x34 ordered the largest available e which should have been too large l, but to my disappointment were about 3 inches short of fastening….. returned via Amazon for refund

Looks ok but an XL size is really more like a medium in the USA. I'm a 36" waist and ordered an XL, these barely fit and were like a very tight pair of wranglers before I even washed them.

These were a gift for my son. The quality is nice, but they are much smaller than the normal size that my son gets. Not sure how to return them to get a larger size, but going to try to find out if it's possible.
