511 pants were originally meant for mountaineering type stuff, but found their way into uniform supply for cops and security guards. you can probably find them (and similar) pants at uniform supply stores that cater to those types (as apposed to the nursing supply store. Whose pants are equally comfortable... just saying.)
they, uh, have pockets.
I thought 5.11 was aimed at people who concealed carry (no pun intended), or who just want to feel tacticool.
Lot of reviews about poor quality, especially the ripstop ones which apparently are known to rip at the crotch. Bummer
The name comes from mountain difficulty classifications. 5 being the tallest, 10 being the most difficult.
It was because they were hard wearing and had … pockets…. That cops picked them up, and then, all the tactilool wannabes came.
