Under Armour Women's Tactical Patrol Pants II , Desert Sand Size 6

These pants are a god sent. I am petite and could never fit into the department issued patrol/cargo pants required as part of the Crime Scene Unit's uniform. I found these pants and am so excited !! I can still look like a woman while wearing my uniform. The fit is amazing, they are extremely comfortable, and I will never wear anything else. I don't even mind having to pay for them myself, as they do not sell them at the police uniform store the department issues chit's for. Thank god for these comfy pants that still allow me to have somewhat of a shape :)

I was very disappointed when I received these pants. First, I ordered my actual size and couldn't get them to button comfortably, so I returned them and ordered the next size up. The pants are still uncomfortable and it is due to how low rise they are. They're TOO low rise. These pants are not as practical for being in a squatting position or wearing a lot of gear around your waist (side arm, mag pouch, etc.) if you're in training or out on the range. I had really high hopes for these pants because it is hard to find "tactical" pants for women. Sadly, I've returned the pairs I purchased and will be looking elsewhere for women's tactical pants.

I bought these pants first in size 4 and then in size 2, in Sand and Navy Blue, for the purpose of wearing for nonstrenuous outdoor activity in cold/rainy weather. -Size: The size chart says it all. Most reviewers that expressed unhappiness over the fact that their "normal" numerical size from other brands did not match the UA size probably didn't take vanity sizing into account. Ignore numerical sizes as they are meaningless; just know your measurements and check the size chart. I usually fluctuate between the lower limit of size 4 and the upper limit of size 2 (for reference, I am usually 105-115 lbs., waist ~25-26", hips ~35-36") and so was concerned I might not fit size 2 if I gained weight in the future. I ended up buying two size 4s, one in each of the two colors I listed above. Big mistake. I felt like I was drowning in fabric, the waist wouldn't stay up, and it looked like I stole the pants off someone's clothesline. After that, I bought the 2s. The 2 fits a hair tighter than I would've liked, but the stretch waistband makes it tolerable. The rise is at the perfect height for me; reviewers that had issues with that were probably something on the order of half a foot taller than me. The pant legs are slightly long; I have to roll them up once to prevent them from dragging on the ground. I think these issues could be improved by offering a variety of pant lengths, and problem areas such as the rise could be proportionally adjusted based on those pant lengths to accomodate a wider variety of customers. -Comfort: These pants are ridiculously comfortable, and have just enough fabric in the knee area for a wider range of motion (such as crouching). The material is not too heavy, but still durable. They feel better than most pants do when wet, as if they're kind of dry at the same time, and they didn't stick to my legs. -Performance: While I would have liked these pants to be waterproof, they're acceptable as water-resistant. Said water resistance lasted about one minute when I went outdoors during Typhoon Meranti, but that was to be expected. The pockets at least stayed dry. These pants completely dried in an hour while I was indoors in a seated position, which was quite impressive. All in all, I would say these pants are totally worth it. I would consider getting the other colors when I can spare cash to do so.
