On a typical fire scene, jeans are our standard “uniform”. In the winter, no problem, heck we usually add coveralls to keep warm. But in the summer, they can turn a guy into a hot, sweaty, uncomfortable mess pretty quick. So while searching for an alternative, I came across the Operator Tactical Pants by L.A. Police Gear. They look like a winner for several reasons.

They are cheap, just $20 a pair. They come in 5 different colors, including khaki for say around the office and both black and olive which are good colors for hiding all the dirt from a scene. I also like the fact they are loaded with pockets. With 10 in total, we should be able to easily carry everything from our pocket knife, wallet and flashlight to multiple cell phones. My only question is durability. At $20 bucks I don’t need them to last for years, but I don’t want them to fall apart after the first wash either. Anyone out there with a pair? Let us know in the comments.
