Stretchy cargo pants - expensive and worth it - 5.11 Tactical Traverse Pants

Some guys say the fit of these pants are too snug and they feel self-conscious or embarrassed as if they're wearing skinny jeans. These pants do fit comfortably snug in the hips and butt (and if your thighs are big they're tight there too), however you simply need to wear your shirt out/untucked to solve this. I made the mistake of wearing these pants to work with my polo shirt tucked in... and pulled my shirt out within 2 minutes! These are basically loose fitting yoga pants with cargo pockets. You could easily run, weight train or play any sport you wanted in these pants. You can also sit at your desk comfortably for 12 hours without having to adjust yourself. When you get home, you want to keep on wearing them because you can't imagine any other pants being more comfortable... unless your talking about loose fitting pajama bottoms. The material stretches in every direction and although the cargo pockets lay flat (no pleating) you can still stuff a lot of items into these pockets if you need to. I first started wearing them on casual Fridays then bought more colors (when on sale around $55 each) and started wearing them more days of the week. I can imagine them not being warm enough in the winter because the material is thin. Although the thigh/quad areas are somewhat snug, they're really no more snug than the normal 5.11 Tactical cargo pants. Once you sit down in your car or at your desk (or have to bend down or climb stairs, etc) you realize why you paid more money for these pants. They are hands down the most comfortable pants I've ever worn. I've read that some guys reported pilling of the material in the high friction areas but after several washings I haven't witnessed this yet. I don't treat these as yard pants and I don't bush wack in them because I can imagine the material could be fragile. Maybe the material is fragile maybe it's not, but for the price I don't want to test it. I want to wear them as casual pants not as manual work pants. I have older 5.11 tactical cargo pants for that which I don't mind getting dirty.
