Spring is in the air, and you know what that means — it’s lightweight pants time. Perfect for warmer weather, many lightweight tactical pants are made of a blend of 65% polyester and 35% poly-cotton ripstop.

In the video above, Japan-based YouTube gear reviewer MilPic sports a pair of 5.11 Tactical Taclite Pro pants, which he loves to don when the temperature rises. The pant ensures he stays cool and doesn’t perspire as much under the blazing sun.

At first, some of the smaller pockets might be closed off. MilPic says he was able to turn the pants inside out and open up a seam to make one of the pockets bigger. He describes the leg pouches as “very roomy” and wide-extending.

Despite all the pluses, he complains that the YKK zipper is too tiny and can get stuck if unzipped completely. “And it’s very tricky to get them out,” he says. “I don’t have the smallest fingers, and this is a big-size pant, so come on — get a little bit bigger zipper for that one!”

For some, the noise when both pant legs rub together is another negative quality. Basically, it’s not stealthy enough. “I don’t go and use them as my special ninja pants to sneak up on somebody in the middle of the night,” he explains. “The color is actually very bad for that anyway.”

Oh, and one last thing: MilPic advises to never buy these pants in black. Why? Because they fade too quickly. “Man they have to find something to make them much better,” he says.
