Hardcore 511 fans aren't going to switch over to these pants, but if you're looking for great pants at an affordable price that you won't be afraid to try and destroy, then I think you'll be very pleased with these pants. Differential gear oil, thorny bushes, crawling on your hands and knees on a gravel road, or lassoing a wild giraffe, these pants hold up to anything."
"The stitching reflects the Chinese origin: sloppy work, with dangling loops of thread. The rear pockets are pleated, with a diagonal flap and Velcro pad situated off-center: strange looking, but just might be quite serviceable. The left features side gussets and a Velcro flap, but the pocket is too small for a cell phone, keys, or much of anything else. Except it's just about the right size for a couple of .45 magazines, and that might or might not be a useful feature (A Glock 17 mag fits nicely, if you're a fan of poodle shooters). Oddly, the right cargo pocket has a little slit at the top of the flap (shown in the second photo from the bottom, lower right)."
"Lightweight durable material, lots of pockets in a good configuration, just the right fit for me- not baggy but also not too tight. Even with these complaints I still rate them highly, although I may find another to test for better durability before buying another pair."
"in if I want to conceal carry in the right front pocket instead of wearing an IWB holster, which the waist also accommodates very comfortably."
"I read all the 5 star reviews and all the 1 star reviews."
"But he wanted a pair of lighter weight camping pants and he has several pairs of 511's that he wears all the time."

"These are thin, lightweight pants, but they're warm enough for cooler weather or a mid layer in winter."
"Great hiking pants."
"Normally wear a 42 but after reading other reviews I orders 44 and they fit perfect."
"The product quality was within expectation."
"These buttoms are cool!"
"The front pockets are fairly shallow (and again, due to the slim fit waist) and snug to the body, so you wouldn't comfortably use it for your phone/ wallet/ other larger items unless you order up a size."
Zip-off pant legs make for an easy change from pants to shorts, or vice-versa, while on the trail. Rip-and-stick adjustment tabs let you secure cuffs around the ankles to keep pant legs up and away from mud and debris.

Find Best Price at Amazon"SO Then I contacted the Amazon reseller, Cambridge Select - which sent me a form letter email response: "Thank you for contacting us. In this day of increased competition - I find a company that stands behind their product has earned my business and respect - THAT IS HOW YOU KEEP CUSTOMERS."
"I purchased two pairs of these pants for my son for his summer job as a camp counsellor where he would be working both in/outdoor all summer and sometimes around water."
"They don't fit as they look in the product pictures."
"I bought these for my frequent trips overseas because I wanted the flexibility to have both shorts, and pants, which look semi nice, nicer than blue jeans anyway."
"This would only be a problem if you were hiking steep inclines though."
"They don't have the most secure pockets and reattaching the legs pieces is a pain but I can live with that for the price and the utility."
"These are fantastic pants!"
"I returned them, I chose my size and wow they fit around the waist but if I bent over the butt would have blown out."

"The socks are very slightly different, but the quality has gotten better, contrary to some recent reviews, and I like these newer ones more than my old ones. Socks are way more important than a lot of people realize and these just make me very happy."
"I've been fighting all of these things for over a year and not once have I thought that maybe wearing cheap hanes socks might have something to do with it. Here's what I have to say about People Socks: I have a size 12 foot on the wide side and these socks fit my feet perfectly. My feet do not sweat whatsoever in these socks and my feet have a tendency to sweat even when I'm sitting down doing nothing that involves a lot of walking or running when wearing cheap hanes socks. With these socks on my feet stayed completely dry, they felt a little cold as if water was trying to get in, but my feet stayed bone dry. I cannot believe the change in my foot condition just from wearing wool socks."
"When I deployed to Afghanistan, a buddy recommended I stock up on wool socks. After the first time slipping my feet into a pair, I was sold - never going back to cotton/poly blends. So, I shopped around quite a bit to find the best bang for the buck - when you're a single dude in the military, you're not exactly rolling in the dough. My research discovered the best wool socks out there (IMO) were the Redhead brand that Bass Pro shop sells - $10-15 for a pair."

"Great shorts, easy to hand wash and line dry."
"I own one size up and had to buy a smaller size, and it fit exactly as I'd hoped."

"This is my second pair of these shorts."
"Very lightweight and fast drying."
"Deep pockets. 1 Zippered pocket. pockets a bit slippery making it easier for stuff to potentially slip out."
"Just great shorts!"

Find Best Price at Amazon"(for reference I am 5'8", 175#, 32" waist and usually wear either an athletic-cut large shirt or a medium if it's cut normally...yes, I live in size hell). Bonehead: This shirt is 100% cotton and is very tough. Given the pros of the other shirts, however, I must say this style is my least favorite (but still a great shirt, and my go-to work shirt). The "Super Bahama" version has a print rather than solid colors. I wear a small in this shirt as well. I wear a small in this one as well and it's my favorite for very hot weather but I would be very hesitant to wear it for work applications. Baitcaster: Lightweight like the Tamiami but different cut and different pockets. It's kind of a cleaner version of the Tamiami, however, because of the cut I wear a medium in this rather than the small in most of the others. In a hot climate you may be able to find a cooler shirt but if one exists I don't know about it."
"Shirt feels great, and is a bit lighter than the PFG gear you usually see from Columbia."
"Great shirt, very breathable."
"I bought a large and I think it is sized just right....but my son, who I bought it for, likes the look & feel of it but he thinks it fits a bit looser than other shirts he owns."
"It doesn't really show in the photos and is ridiculous on a shirt you are never going to tuck in."
"This is a fine shirt."
"Perfect for all hot weather activities except for just standing around in hot humid weather."
"It only widens the shirt....not lengthens, so I had to return because if you have big shoulders and are over 6' tall, these are not sized long enough as the photos suggest."

"These things work well in the sense that they keep you warm without overheating you during cold (sub zero Fahrenheit) climates, but they don't fit you that well in the area males would like the most support. It's not a bad purchase for the price, but if you want an all-in-one product, I'd spend the extra money to get maybe full or mostly synthetic thermal pants."
"He almost would not let me order him longjohns, because he thought they were the old-fashioned white waffles, LOL!"
"They feel weird when I first put them on and begin my day, but I get used to the extra length in the crotch area and they end up doing a fine job of keeping me warm."
"I bought some duofold shirts and they shrank a bit. Overall very warm and light weight, even under your shirt or pants."
"As noted in someone else's review, they don't fit as snugly as briefs, so unless you're more of a boxers fan don't be surprised if you're more comfortable with a pair of briefs as an under layer (I am)."
"got these for my boyfriend and he loved them."
"The medium ended up fitting much better, however they are still a little short in the length (nothing a tall wool sock can't fix)."
