Like looking forward to a perfect steak and it served well done - TRYBE Tactical Ultimate Active Slim-Fit Tactical Cargo Pant - Men's

These pants are so close to being my go to favorites it’s infuriating. The material stretches and moves comfortably, sizing fits well, the knee cargo pockets have modular pockets inside them to organize things securely within the pocket, and I enjoy the extra space the “magazine pockets” provide on the front of the thighs. The things I don’t like are the flaps over the back pockets (which I can live with fairly easily) and the only thing I absolutely hate is the shallow front pockets. They are so short they are unusable for anything other than items with pocket clips (e.g. pocket knife). Just sitting at my desk in the course of a single 8 hour day, my leatherman fell out 3 times. Being that I ride a motorcycle as a primary form of transportation, these pockets are unacceptable to hold anything. I don’t even trust them for carrying a single ID card. Other than the front pockets I can only imagine were stolen from women’s apparel and are the very origin story for why they get so excited for pockets, I like these pants as much as I hate the front pockets. I like the rest of the pants so much that the uselessly untrustworthy front pockets are just that much more infuriating. It’s like having the most satisfying lines in the perfect lawn, just to have the final pass cut directly through it all for no reason whatsoever other than to shatter your happiness. I spent 3 days debating on if the front pockets were worth returning my entire order for but my laziness and disdain for dealing with all that returning something entails won. Had I known they were so shallow before ordering, I wouldn’t have bought them. Even if they were on sale for $17.
