V2 Tactical Pants

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.

Ordered two pair of these pants and tried a pair on when I received them and the sizing was good. Wore the first pair with no major complaints. Upon attempting to wear the second pair, I had to remove them as I could hardly get them buttoned. I checked the sizing and both were labeled 34/30. Not sure if the first pair were big or the second pair small but the sizing is off a good inch between the two. Bad quality control!!! I’m afraid to order any more as I don’t want or need the hassle of having to return something. Pictures included for reference
As a maintenance electrician in the federal prison, not only are these the most well built tactical pants I’ve worn, but also hold up great to actual physical skilled trade labor.
'The best' being a pair of 'Tactix Series' I purchased in 2017. First, the Tactix vs the V2, Tactix has a much heavier material, also '2-way mechanical stretch' micro-ripstop. Cargo pockets: the Tactix were the older 'bellows' style, elastic strap in the top to hold them 'flat', deep, w/ 2 mag pockets inside. V2, shallower, also w 2 inner pockets. The V2 does have the 2 open knife/flashlight pockets on either side lacking on the old Tactix. The Tactic has no dedicated knife/auxillary pockets, only an opening in the top of each cargo pocket into which you could slide a knife or flashlight. The Tactix knees are not only heavily reinforced but have velcro openings for knee pads. V2 also has an inner pocket to accept flexible knee pads, but not as heavily reinforced. Rear: V2 has open pockets vs flap pockets on the Tactix. A matter of preference. The seat/inner thigh area of the Tactix is reinforced - none on the V2. Every other belt loop of the Tactix pant is reinforced and riveted to better hold up a duty/Bat Man belt. The bottom hem of both are single stitched w the Tactix having a locking bungee for blousing. V2 has a couple of reinforced holes to insert blousing straps if desired. The interior waistband of both feature some xtra stretch material but the Tactix has a beautiful sewn in lining material on the waist. For me, the clear winner is the First Tactical Tactix Series pant from 5 years ago. I reviewed them against industry leader '5:11' when I got them and said these pants from First Tactical are the new leaders in tactical pants. They are comfortable w so many features. The V2 are 'OK', but have fallen into mediocrity in my estimation. C'mon, First Tactical. Bring back the Tactix Series. Otherwise, the V2 has a nice, comfortable fit with the stretch material and the lighter material would make them a better choice in warmer climates. (see pics)
If you were on the fence about trying something new, don’t be. Climb on down and buy yourself a pair of these. Heck, buy six pairs. I own three, the shirt, boots, and a few other odds and ends. I highly recommend every purchase.

Loved the look and fit. Didn’t love the durability. Wore these for less than two months, and they tore while I was climbing a fence. Disappointing…
After around 7 or 8 times of wearing these pants I noticed a tear on the seam of the front left slot pocket, the pants are extremely comfortable for a full 12 hour shift but I feel as though I should get more than 8 shifts out of them before a pocket seam tears.
At it again picked up a pair of wolf grey v2s !! Super impressed very professional looking . Fit just like the tan ones i got before . Well done once again !!
So they fit great I was very surprised, my department ordered us 5.11 pants that were like parachute pants. The V2’s look
Professional feel great and are very thoughtful on design. Love the knife pocket. My department is now debating on switching pants all together and they’ll be ordering mine from first tac from now on.

The best Quality and performance uniforms.
My son loves these pants for work and activities.
Pants fit awesome and are super functional. Professional and practical while still maintaining presence.
love all of them
The tactical pants are awesome as usual. This is pair number 7 for me I have all the colors.
Have been wearing for about 2 weeks and love the fit and comfort and are great for my support role in law enforcement.
Hi Tyler, it’s great to hear the V2 Tactical Pants are checking all the boxes for you! We’re glad you’re enjoying the fit and comfort, and that they’re working well for your support role in law enforcement. We also appreciate the kind comparison to other brands, it means a lot to know you feel the V2 Pants hold up to the competition.
Thanks for giving First Tactical a try and for sharing your experience with us!
These pants are great. I love the pockets. I do wish that they had shirt stays sewn into the waistband. Other than that, I have no complaints. Highly recommended
Great pants. Excellent wear and tear resistance and hold onto their color longer than the competition's.
Hi John, We’re glad to hear the V2 Tactical Pants are holding up so well for you! It’s great to know you’ve been impressed with their wear resistance and ability to maintain their color over time. Durability is especially important for gear used day in and day out, so we really appreciate hearing that the pants are delivering for you.
Thank you for choosing First Tactical and for sharing your experience!
I am a correctional officer and we recently went to these for our uniform pants and first of all the care instructions are absolutely ridiculous, second of all our extremely watered down bleach we have to spray on things in the facility leaves huge stains on them (did not stain our previous uniform pants). Worst "upgrade" we could have possibly got, would give it 0 stars if possible. Cheap 5.11 knockoff made by their rejects.
Hi John, We’re sorry to hear that the V2 Tactical Pants have not met your expectations, especially after your department made the switch to them. We understand how important it is for uniform pants to hold up to the cleaning and disinfecting requirements of a correctional facility, and we’re disappointed to hear about the staining you’ve experienced with the bleach solution used at your facility.
We also appreciate you sharing your concerns about the care instructions. We understand that uniform garments need to be practical and manageable for the demands of the job. Your feedback regarding both the staining and care requirements is valuable, and we’ll be sure to share it with our product team for further review.
Thank you for giving First Tactical a try and for taking the time to share your experience.
Got these pants over a year ago and they are still preforming great! The fit and feel are spot on for what I needed.
Hi Joshua, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re glad to hear your V2 Tactical Pants have been performing well for you after more than a year of wear. Knowing that the fit, feel, and durability continue to meet your needs on the job is exactly what we strive for. We appreciate you choosing First Tactical!
Love the fit on them, the quality/durability, The mobility it provides you, overall 10/10
The sizing is off, the pants are way smaller than your usual size. But even worse, there is NO room in the crotch area. When you sit in a patrol vehicle with a duty belt on, it is highly uncomfortable. A full day of patrol was torture while wearing the V2.
As always , the fit is perfect. Nothing wears better then First tactical pants.
They fit nice empty. But the cargo pockets need more space. Put anything in them and it feels like wearing tight jeans. Make them actually cargo pockets with space.
