Featuring a stretchy comfort waistband, an internal cuff pocket, hidden key pocket, zippered thigh pockets with dual internal  storage, and deep, reinforced main pockets and a reinforced knife clip area on hand pockets-  these pants are a serious package. There are 10 pockets in total. Talk about organization.

Working as a handyman the 5.11 Apex Pants proved to be a durable and easy to work in garment. These pants showcase excellent stain and soil resistance, thanks to the dirt & water-resistant finish. The Apex Pant also has a high comfort stretch waist, and gusseted knee construction for enhanced movement.

As an outdoorsman I have really enjoyed rock climbing and hiking in these pants. The comfortable waist and stretch material make for all day comfort. The fabric is light weight yet very durable and comfortable to wear.
