Description
Black is the colourway for anyone who needs to move between a desk and a callout without changing pants. The 5.11 Tactical Ridge Pant delivers rugged performance while maintaining a clean, tailored look, perfect for high-action environments or everyday professional wear. Built with Flex-Tac canvas featuring mechanical stretch, these pants move with you while maintaining their professional structure through a briefing, a vehicle stop, or a foot pursuit.
Eight pockets sit low-profile against the leg, including zippered cargo storage that doesn't print through the fabric or draw a second look in a boardroom. A DWR finish keeps the black colour resisting stains, soil, and moisture, which matters on a colour that shows a coffee spill or grease mark far more obviously than a lighter shade. Where the fabric needs to flex, 87% polyester / 13% elastane panels take over at 4.7 oz, letting you crouch or reach without the seat or knee binding. The straight fit and flexible waistband keep the silhouette clean enough for client-facing work.
