Men's Bottoms Size Charts

Determining Your Size

Using a measuring tape, measure your body (over your undergarments) & refer to body charts to determine the best size. Measurements refer to body size, not garment dimensions, unless otherwise noted. If you fall between sizes, we recommend ordering the larger size.


How to Measure:

Waist: Take measurement around your waistline, where your belt typically sits.
Inseam: Measure the inseam of pants that fit you well. Place them in a flat position, ensuring both front and back are neatly pressed. Measure from the crotch down to the leg hem along the inseam.

My first choice every time.

I’ve been wearing tactical gear and clothing for over 40 years. First Tactical products are my first choice every time. Reasonable prices. Superior quality. Excellent customer service.

Nathan P.

Fit and function are great.

I just got back from an ALERRT trainer class and over 75% of the class was wearing First Tactical pants. Keep it up folks.

BK

First Tactical is the #1 brand in our firehouse.

...damn near everyone wears the V2 pants and shorts. I always get complimented on them as well. They hold up to the abuse and the color lasts.

Nathan W.

1st Tactical is the only brand that I wear.

As a Paramedic I am very picky about the pants I wear daily. The pocket setup is perfect for my setup and basic gear I carry. They are the most comfortable pants and are the only pants that I have seen completely protect me from large amounts of blood.

Great Shorts

These are well made, comfortable and have held up well after many washings. The pockets are deep, and are made of strong, yet lightweight material. If you order them in your normal waist size there is enough room for IWB carry. It would be great if they came in 33” and 35” waist sizes too.

Great design and construction

These are some of the best shorts available on the market. My only issue with them is they run large. Unfortunately for me, I washed them prior to trying them on and I found they were one size too large.

Great step up from the V2

I had been wearing the V2 shorts daily for a couple months this summer. They were great and I was happy with them. I decided to try the A2 version just to see the differences. These shorts have the icing that the V2 cake was missing. Lighter weight, larger pockets, more flex, and slightly longer, all with the same great material and colors as the V2. Now summers will be much more bearable.
