Keeping our legs healthy and protected is paramount when you have any tactics involved. Tactical pants may look stylish. But, unlike regular pants, that is not their primary purpose. Tactical pants need to protect the wearer from the elements and keep them agile and maneuverable regardless of the terrain. Your legs will be carrying all of the weight of your body, your armor, and your gear. If you start getting abrasions, frostbite, or lacerations anywhere on your legs that will severally lower your combat ability. Tactical pants can be categorized into four distinct types, depending on the climate you want to use them in:
  • Hydrophobic windproof pants for stormy weather
  • Layered thermal pants for cold weather
  • Reflective breathable pants for extreme heat
  • Thin durable pants for warm and humid weather
Additionally, some models may be crossovers between these categories. But, it is usually a better choice to have dedicated tactical pants for a certain type of weather than to use some that may be good but not optimal for multiple types. Also, there are tactical shots that are used for non-assignment recreation at the base. These shorts will still be durable and have pockets, but leaving your knees and calfs open to cuts, bruises, and bites in the field is not recommended. If you know your fit, it is ideal to buy tactical pants online today from dedicated manufacturers of tactical gear. Mostly because many retailers will market simple pants with a military design as tactical, which they are usually not. Those who know what they are looking for, and what they mission demands, will find excellent models for sale today, and for a reasonable price.

What are Tactical Pants?

Tactical lightweight pants don’t have a signature look or feel, but the term simply refers to the fact that the lower part of your clothes is optimized for the mission. While terms like ‘military pants’ and even ‘assault pants’ are often used for marketing purposes, these don’t actually mean anything in a tactical sense. Ideally, your tactical camo pants should serve a dual purpose. Primarily, they should protect your legs from the elements and any damage that can befall them from running, marching, and crawling the whole day. During this time, the pants should offer as much maneuverability and flexibility as possible and don’t restrict you in any way. Secondly, your pants or cargo pants  should work well with the rest of your gear and armor. Sturdy and stable pockets that can be enclosed, as well as good attachments for your tactical belt and other gear, should be taken into consideration when you want to buy tactical pants.

How to Choose Tactical Pants?

The first question you should ask when buying tactical pants is not ‘what’, but ‘where’. Simply by knowing the climate where you will be wearing the pants will tell you most of what you need to know about the category and type you will wear. Next, take the rest of the mission into account. If there will be a lot of running and infantry maneuvers, then you might be better off with fewer layers for more mobility. Also, if any gear needs to be carried in the pockets, that needs to be considered as well. Finally, water is your biggest enemy when it comes to keeping infantry healthy. Make sure that you are doing everything in your power, combining adequate shoes, pants, and even ponchos if necessary to protect yourself from staying wet for any prolonged period.

Use Layers

While heat can be an issue just as much as the cold in strategic terms, tactically it is much better to be in warm climates than in hot ones. Heatstroke is real, but simply staying in the shade will solve most issues connected to that. Cold climates have higher humidity by default and if it’s snowing or the ground is wet you will have the cold creeping on you from both sides. In these cases, you will want to wear a base layer underneath your pants that will further protect your legs and feet from water and frost. Additionally, wearing actual tactical underwear is always a good thing, because they will protect parts that might not be essential to the mission, but are essential to the soldier.

Conclusion

Tactical trousers have come a long way thanks to technology and can now adapt to a multitude of situations. Good tactical pants will protect you from water, dust, heat, snow, and wind, without significantly reducing your combat capability. Protecting your legs with such pants will give you a tactical advantage and make you last longer and with fewer injuries than any regular apparel. Those who plan on doing missions in extreme weather will find them to be a literal lifesaver.
