$100+ Tactical Pants vs $27 Wranglers from Target 

I shop at Goodwill, rummage sales and church resale shops. Two bucks usually per pair. I have a half dozen really good pairs of tactical pants that someone else got tired of with no visible defects. Legs too long, shorten them, not that hard. Waists too large, a little more work if its only two or less inches. A wife or girlfriend who sews is a good investment, spend that hundred bucks on her and your life will be much happier!

I love my 511, yes they are expensive but the last. I only buy them when they go on sale or have specials, usually about $50 which is the same as Levi's. I also have several wrangler pants and they fit great and are comfortable but they don't last as long. The quality isn't the same, I believe in buy once cry once but if your on a budget wranglers get the job done

Agreed. I bought a couple of pairs of those last year when I was in Target as well. They have held up, are comfortable, and definitely affordable.

I have owned a pair of Wrangler ATGs for 3 years now, they have been put through hell and back and have held up better than other "work" pants that cost 2-3 times as much. Funny thing is, I bought my first set on vacation as an emergency replacement for another pair of pants that had ripped.

Growing up I only wore Levi 501s. Brand loyalty. Then I got tired of always being uncomfortable; they no long fit properly as I "matured." I started wearing only Wranglers. Much cheaper and they fit better. More important to me, the belt loops accommodated my holster better! Another option, although mostly cotton but with some spandex, are the GW Bass (Made in the USA) 5-pocket Canvas Pants at COSTCO, which come in three colors. If I were going to a run & gun shooting class, I'd wear the Bass pants! They fit me really well, and movement isn't an issue.

Grabbed three pairs of these Wranglers for 9$ each on clearance. So worth it.

I felt the same way about spending 100+ dollars on tactical pants, and by luck I came across these same pants in target and actually I love them. Quick drying and super comfortable doesn't really stink when using them for a few days in the woods. But after having them for about a year the material is starting to wear around my pistol holster area, on the knees, and in the back where I keep a tourniquet. All in all if on a budget there great but it's definitely a case of buy once cry once. I eventually will have to get I new pair of tactical pants and mostly will spend 100+ bucks

I just bought my first pair of KUHL free ryder, prana brions, and duer pants, and I 😘 be them all. If I had to choose one pair to wear everyday, it would most definitely be the Duer, as they are definitely the softest and most comfortable pair of pants I've ever owned. However, if I were buying a pair for durability, it would most definitely be the KUHL free ryders.

I own these wranglers and 3 other wranglers that are similar. Best outdoor pants for under 80 bucks that I've been able to find for 2 years straight and they're only 20 bucks. Wrangler did great with this line

I had the wrangler pants... levis... and even Dickies. The viktos seems to be the only pant that can withstand the damn DRYER! My carhartts rarely shrank but, Viktos seems to really hold up well.

Wranglers Lead The Way. I wear them almost everyday. As LEO, the do the job. Can dress them down and look casual (comes in khaki, green, grey) so you don’t have to look tacticool at all times. However they work great at the range for throwing extra mags in the cargo pockets. They’re worth the $25. Can get 4+ pairs for 1 pair of 5.11/Crye/Vitkos etc.

I like the pants, but the zippers are sharp on my hands when brushing against the legs. The zippers are proud of the material and the pulls stick out. Other than that, they are great.

Friends don't let friends shop at Target.

I hiked in a pair of Wranger ATG pants this summer. I came back from my trip and ordered more. They are great

Walmart has the wrangler pants as well, about the same price. I am more of a thrift shopper, I've found my wranglers there as well as name brand tactical pants, boots, etc. much, much cheaper. But the bottom line, I prefer the Wrangler ATG and the Outdoor Series better than tactical pants. As far as boots go, I prefer the Reebok boots, and I got mine at a thrift shop at a bargain price.

I wear mostly Wrangler Riggs pants. They make a heavy cargo pant and a lighter painters style. I also like the deluth fire hose pants, but they are pricey - I found some knock off ones at farm and home that are great for the cost. I work outside daily doing tree work and landscaping in MO. I do wear shorts in summer when I can.

i have like 8 pair or more of the wrangler outdoor pants. theyre my favorite pants ive found for under 100 bucks a pair. i wear them at work as a chef, on the weekends as an outdoors kind of guy, and even at home as a guy that likes to be comfortable. they stretch, they dry super quickly, and they allow a breeze so theyre great for hot days. theyre super light weight and although ive had the back pocket in 2 pair rip inside"from housing my knife in and out" ive only had that happen with 2 pairs and that was constant use every day. i wore those 2 pair to work every day for a year straight. id recommend them to anyone

I love the Wrangler ATG pants . If you go to Walmart they’re like 22$

Wrangler atg is all I wear and I’m in Florida, never get hot.

I work for wrangler, and love their quality it's all I wear. The ATG products are phenomenal, targets, Walmart and Amazon's version are all good pants

Nylon is ok if you dont get set on fire.will also induce excessive sweating.

Nice touch with Cliffhanger playing in the background 😂

Pants are pretty important

I watched your video earlier today after searching for inexpensive EDC / CCW pants, and ironically I ran across the same pants while out shopping with my wife at Rural King. Unfortunately they are no longer $27, but I bought a pair anyway. They seem very sturdy and I find them to be extremely comfortable. I really like the way the reinforcement around the knees. They feel like a good combination of heavy duty and a little stretch for comfort, which almost doesn't seem possible. Thanks for the review!

Every pair of wranglers I’ve ever worn has had the crotch blow out under a year. Fabric pulls, shred etc. it’s a bummer

I just bought the target wrangler pants and I also live in Florida and I love them so far!!! Great review!!!

Kitanica makes nice pair

The big issue with many of the tactical jeans is that all of them don’t place a small pocket on top the front main left pocket. This is known as “coin pocket”. They place one on the right side but not one on the left side. And I need one there for a 9mm mag. So they are useless for me.

I have 10 pairs of these wrangler’s. They are amazing!! It’s the only pants I wear anymore. Lots of color’s.

I bought a bunch of those same wrangler pants at Walmart for just over $20.

Viktos makes great stuff. I love their shoes because they have a really wide toe box.

cool I tapered the legs and use them for Trail riding in the winter looks great and the price is on point

The point of cotton is that it’s better for handling fire. Cotton burns (which is bad) but nylon/spandex will melt to your skin (which is horrifying and far worse). If you have a high chance of handling fire, DONT wear synthetic clothes! PLEASE!

I’ve got a few pairs of those pants. Not the most durable but for occasional competition use, they will be just fine. For long-term field use, I’d go with something more durable but I still wouldn’t pay $100 for a pair or “tactical” pants. Well-made work wear can be had for far less and does exceptionally well for field use.

After watching half of this video, I subscribed. You’re my kinda guy. Vid on dog

Can’t lie I’ve been wearing those wrangler pants for atving and on the range no issues at all

Go to Walmart and pay less for wanglers that are made of the same material but have seven pockets. Two are big side zipper with two back pockets, two front pockets and a small pocket that fits my EDC knife perfectly.

Just two years later and now they’re $40 🙄 thanks for the video man, made some great points

$100 dollar pants for hunting/camp/hiking/shootings sports or really whatever hobby, is just insane. Especially for us normal working class people here in the USA making 50K a year. I couldn't justify it, especially when Truspec, Condor and other good quality manufactures making breathable, reliable and vastly pocketed pants.

I have a pair of army fatigues that I bought for $7 at goodwill and they have all the pockets I need with my mag pauch

Great pants! I have 4 pair of regular and also have 3 pair with fleece lining for the colder weather.

Andrew you are good. Do not over think. Your good. Doing what I would not try. Practice and more with your kit , 👍👍👍👊👏

The Wranglers are legit I wear them often as a plain clothed LEO. I love Goodfellow jeans as well. They stretch and I never blew a crotch out. AE jeans always split from nuts to butt.

Can you tell me how to lift these pants? I am speaking from Bangladesh.

Love my wrangler pants. Most comfortable pants i hv ever worn. Mine are 96% nylon and 4% spandex.

What's the belt loop size on these pants?

I wish they made them in navy

I needed this in my life so so much. Thank you Andrew. You are a Demi god.

With your battle belt on, can you access the front pockets? That’s the only downside I found. The pockets sit kinda high, making access impossible.

If the pants are reinforced in key areas it’s worth it. I ccw every day and pants can wear out

I'm waiting for the new Chrysler Pacifica Tactical mini-van. It's just like a mini-van but has pockets.

Good common since video! Thank you!

Check out Columbia boots, Arctic trip. Best boot ever!! I have 3 pair they are amazing!!!

Great review thank man !

Those wranglers are great and if you try the target or walmart brand wranglers they have stretchy material in them and used them on deployments before. I have a few pair of Viktos pants and shorts, cool guy stuff and it sucks. Rips and falls apart far too fast for the price tag. I have wranglers that lasted years and my viktos didn't last the spring & summer. Both pair and companies I don't love the pocket design, but I can work with it. Your making the right choice from guy that has alot of time on both.

What you can of winter SOLDIER Men's Water Resistant Pants review

I bought my 511 pants in 2019. Same model pants in different colors. I still wear them to this day. Buy once cry once.

You can find alot of tactical pants from temu

I'm watching "Cliffhanger" in the background.

Interesting Perspective. Funny thing is I've seen SF Operators wear hiking brands over Tactical Specific pants.

I love my pair of tan Wrangler Rigs

I have Wrangler shorts and long pants that are the same design. I love them! Great price and quality product. I looked at 511 pants and they are away too much compared to Wranglers. Great pants and you save a bunch! No brainer there.

Found these in ross dress for less under 20 bucks. Solid

Target? Walmart. I call these opo pants. If I were an Operator, I'd have about 12 pair. Wait...I do have about 12 pair. Because I drive trucks for a living. These stretch. And the zip pockets are perfectly placed for use while strapped into 40 tons of liability. They're also light weight, and roll up to nothing in a bag. I don't really know about using them to carry mags, or flash bangs,etc. All I know is, they're great for drivers. BUT...if I were an Operator, I'd choose these over any other pants out there

The best pants are the ones you don't knownyour even wearing with a preference towards having bullet resistance.

Buy whatever suits the mission. It is just like buying anything else - you get what you pay for. Think about buying a drone from WISH vs buying an actual DJI. 🤔 Sometimes it is better to bite the proverbial bullet and buy a superior product. There are plenty of companies like Viktos, Vertx, 5.11. Tru Spec, LAPG and more making high quality battle tested products. Buy the right tool for the job.

Exactly the point

Thank you for this.

There pretty expensive I bought mine on sale so saved me half the money….also I bought them because there pretty fashionable with all the extra pockets :) to each there own

Good vid. Thanks.

3 minutes later and I still don't know what the wrangler pants look like, smh. thanks for the review I guess...

The wranglers are great.

I wear wrangler cargo pants

$27 is much better than $100.

Would’ve been nice to actually see the pants not balled up on the table. Show the product/details more. Thanks for the video though! 👍🏻

Not sure I can trust a review from a lefty. JK, great review and great value on those Wranglers.

This video makes no sense. The more expansive pants are for those who are out there hunting or deployed becasue they have been field tested which comes at a cost. Its not for dudes like you who just hang out in the sunshine on South Beach. How much money did Target spend on R&D to test their pants under harsh conditions? If you want to just look cool with your shades on in FL then go to Target. If you get dirty in the field environment then spend more on your gear becasue that's what will last the longest. I wore a pair of $300 Crye Precision tactical pants on deployment and they performed very well. Your target pants wouldn't last a month on deployment.

I have those pants they good keep simple enjoy life🤠

To whomever is reading this and has a problem with the price. Understand this. They have a better marketing campaign, than many of the other brands you all named. They’re showing you that they’re tailoring their products to a particular clientele (LE Military and so forth). The aesthetics and style best out any other brand like wrangler for instance. They may offer the same product (utility/combat pants) and they may be more durable and strong but I guaranteeeeeee you, they look nowhere as good as Viktos pants look. You pay for style and comfort. Y’all bi&&’n about price but it’s because you value your money enough to not but $100.00 pants but I’m sure y’all spend in other ways, i.e… cameras, video/pc games and platforms, lawn equipment, boats, trucks, guns and so forth. I’m only writing this comment because I came to see a review before I purchased yet all the comments suck in here. But I get it, some of you all don’t care about your image or care about looking and having some type of style. It mattters to me because it’s a representation of character. Some of y’all look like you live in your truck and sleep with your doggs…. I’m done, ✌🏾

Cliffhanger

👍👍

Or you could just got to your closest army surplus and get tactical pants for 25 dollars.

The 'Cliffhanger' video running in the background is a nonsense distraction.

i love your vids

U ain’t shit with out them guns 😭

Is your name Bruce Wayne? That's some belt, lol
