Giving it a 1 star because this is my wife’s 3rd pair of 511 and they all shrink over 1/2 wash and dries. I stopped drying them through the dryer when I noticed her new pair shrunk after the first dry. It’s a 1 star because of how expensive this brand is. we don’t always have the time to air dry them for a full time EMT. She’s not trying to have 5-6 pairs of pants so she does always wash them after every shift. Since Her first pair she did go up a size since and just needed more mobility in them vs skin tight. These kind of pants for women are always designed like that. They fit amazing the first day she got them and now they’re just as tight as size down. She got 2 at the same time and can’t return them at this point especially bc I did wash them. She’s had 2 different styles. So we’re never getting 511s after these

The stitch inside of the pants where the pockets are located is very irritating it rubs against your skin every time you move.

My organization recently changed our uniform pants to dark navy tactical style. Most of us are somewhat older so things don't fit the way they did when we were 25. I tried four pairs of 5.11 pants in three different styles before I found one I liked. I'm 65 years old, 5'6", 118 pounds, 28" waist, 36" hips, skinny legs. I normally wear a size 4.1. TacLite Pro # 64360, size 4 R.These were unflattering on me. The legs were wide for my skinny thighs. They have an elastic waist in the back. The distance from the top of the back belt loop to the center seam was 12.25".2. Stryke #64386, size 4 R.These looked fantastic on me but they absolutely were lowriders. I had to keep pulling them up and that was before attaching all the junk I normally carry. My normal web belt wouldn't close. The fabric was the heaviest of the three styles I tried. The back pockets have flaps, making it difficult to quickly put things in them. The distance from the top of the back belt loop to the center seam was 11.75".3. ABR Pro #64445, size 4 R.These fit nicely in the front and the waist was comfortable and sufficiently high (above the hip bones) but there was way too much room in the seat for me (I don't have much of a rear end) so it looked like I was wearing droopy drawers. The distance from the top of the back belt loop to the center seams was 13.5".4. ABR Pro #64445, size 2 L.This is the pair that worked for me even though I'm normally a size 4. The fit is sufficiently flattering (not frumpy like the TacLite Pros but not as sharp as the Stryke lowriders.) They're a little too long and I may hem them. They fit above the hip bones and slightly below the natural waist just like the size 4 pair. The distance from the top of the back belt loop to the center seams is 13.125".

I’m confused by the reviews that claim sizing issues. I’m 5ft 3in 125lbs, and on the slim side. I found these to be 100% true to size for my body type. If you know how to take you’re measurements properly, then you shouldn’t have any issues. Great quality, regular length is perfect for me! If you’re above 5ft 5in with longer legs I’d go with a long length. You can always get it tailored. Even after washing and drying them I had no change in how they fit me!

Fit good, just needed a bit more stretch.

I “swore off” 5.11 pants years ago because I felt like they were not comfortable. I tried these pants on in the uniform store and I love them! The material is light, the waistband is flexible and I love the amount of pockets. I purchased a size 4 when I normally wear a size 2; I’ve found that they do shrink overtime.

I really love these pants! They are great in all weather. However the first size I ordered (which was my size) was too large, so instead of a 6 I had to get a 4, the second time was a charm and those fit perfectly. I would totally recommend these pants, keeping in mind that a run a bit big.
