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.

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.

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.

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.
