Review on 👖 Enhanced Performance with 5.11 Tactical Men's Stryke Operator Uniform Pants: Flex-Tac Mechanical Stretch, Style 74369 by Leo Puente

I'm writing this at the encouragement of Revain Customer Service. I doubt that 5.11 will this, and if they do, I seriously doubt they will respond/attempt to rectify the matter. I've worn 5.11 products pretty much exclusively to other brands since the 90s as a criminal justice practitioner in the civil and military sectors. Back then the quality of the products was outstanding, and it didn't matter if I bought them in a store, off the rack, or via the "mail". Over the past decade I've seen a few "slips" in quality despite an increase in cost. I tried another brand and wasn't satisfied. I've since become disabled and living on a restrictive fixed income, so every cent counts. Last week I purchased thru Revain a pair of "civilianesque" tactical pants of a 5.11 competitor. I already had a pair (size 40) but gained some weight after having Covid. I ordered a size 42 of the exact same thing. They were TIGHTER than the original 40 ! Revain took care of me and I decided I would pay the extra (double) cost for what I knew (erroneously thought) would fit me. I have two pairs of the Stryke pants, sizes 38, and 40. The 40 still fits perfectly. The 38 rather snug, but wearable. So I ordered another 40. On its arrival today, I tried it on, and I could BARELY fit into it. I checked first, and the inner and outer tags read "40/30". It was tighter and more I'll fitting than the 38/30. I've noticed through the years that 5.11 products are manufactured in all manner of "lesser developed countries" i.e. Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangl
