Raider Tactical Pants

I owned my Grey ASP for 5 years, and were my daily drivers. They started falling apart this year, but at the fault of my own for not washing them inside out, and putting them through a dryer instead of hang drying them. Sewed it back up and still going strong. The ASPs were out of stock at the time, and needed a new pair, so ended up grabbing the Ranger Greens, and a few months later the Black because I loved them soo much.

I was skeptical about the super fabric knee at first because it looks too "tacky" (pun intended), but ended up loving it. Having the extra padding and fabric when taking a knee at the range, working on my truck, or dealing with patients holds up to all the abuse and prevents tearing. Combined with the padding system (also great spare sock storage if need be) makes these pants comfortable in any position you may need to work or operate in.

I used to destroy Proppers and 5.11s yearly or every 2 years and got kind of annoyed. Just like good boots, or optics, you get what you pay for. Yes, they are expensive, but worth every penny. Nothing compares to these built like a tank, nearly indestructible, supreme stitching US made (Also local to me) pants.

They did address my issue of 32x34 and providing 32x32 which is a nice change of pace. Still wish they came with a DWR coat, but it's not too much of a hassle to coat them yourself and add permethrin treating while you're at it.

I don't know what else to say, quality is job one at Kitanica. I finally own not one but two pair of these great pants. I own the wolf gray and all black versions. Both are a pleasure to wear. They will out last my Calvin Klein Purple label military style cargo pants by decades. I paid over $300 for those Purple Label pants and they are slowly falling apart. These will probably out last me ;-)

I don't do reviews until now. I've worn everything from $10 Walmart jeans, $20 cargo pants, $35 5.11 Kodiaks, $50 Carharts and $85 5.11 EMS(still great pants). I am 6' 170lbs and got 32x34. A bit long but I would rather have them still cover at my ankles while kneeling. 32x32 would have fit too. I will be wearing them for most of my waking hours. If you can afford them these are great pants that you have never worn anything like in terms of materials and tailoring. I am hard on my stuff and cover everything from rooftops to towers to crawlspaces to woods and these fit and carry everything I keep with me on a daily basis. Loose but not baggy, tailored but not restrictive. I bought a pair in black and when I wore them ordered another pair in grey. The only caveat is that the material is very good but time will tell how the smaller detail locations that are single stitched will hold up as well as the velcro. These are the only areas that I personal might adjust. All in all I am frugal unless I am buying quality and Kitanica got my money. Well done Len and Kitanica.
