Are these pants really that flammable?!!! I like the style, but flammable tactical pants seem retarded.

I'm not sure why you would think this fabric is flammable. Haven't put myself on fire to test it either! They are very sturdy and worth the cost.

No lol, there just not made for extreme heat, I laughed about that as well, but I haven't been set on fire with all the work I do, and we use torches lol, I wouldn't go setting myself on fire to see what happens but all is good! Hahaha

Haha apparently they are because there are warning tags and stickers all over them... i work with a fire dept, but we are never ever near flame close enough that it matters. I wear them on the ambulance every day, they are really comfortable. If you are wearing them in a job that puts you close to open flame i wouldn't buy them, if not, you'll be fine.

I'm not sure why you'd want to mold these to shape with heat, I certainly wouldn't try. You see all those lines in the picture? Those are grooves in the knee pad that allow it to flex pretty readily. They're a type of foam rubber, so I wouldn't expose them to heat, so I have no idea how much heat they'd tolerate. And, finally, no; they're not FR. I'm not an expert in FR clothing, but isn't the FR-ness of protective clothing based on the external layer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you basically wear napalm skivvies and not affect the Kcal rating of your FR clothing?

Although, I have not used these extensively at that temperature. I have walked outside with these pants on in the mornings around 40F and have felt fine. Hope that helps.

They are built hefty with thick aluminum to transfer some of the heat so not much chance of fire. Likely millions sold and not one fire to my knowledge, if there was you'd be seeing a huge class action suit.

They seem to be. I only wear them in the gym and I get pretty sweaty. Of course, I can't vouch for what your experience will be.

The pants are thin but the knit is very tight so I wouldn't say they are "like athletic pants" but definitely thinner and more lightweight compared to other Tac pants. Dirt will be no problem for these pants.

No. These pants attract zombies. I think it's something in the waterproofing material. Also, they SCREAM "I am well-prepared and have lots of supplies on hand." You need to be a little more subtle than that, or you'll attract attention. Also, the belt has a tendency to get wrapped around your neck and choke you out, which decreases chances of survival.

I never buy cotton ems or tac pants. The ones I use are the blend, that's the reason they wash and dry better with less fade. The cotton ones bleed during washing, dry wrinkled and fade bad.

Hey, I bought these pants in 34W-32 in tan and they arrived promptly in my mailbox! They're good pants, just a little pricey. Steve P

Looks like it could be a typo. They probably meant non-flammable. A phone call to the manufacturer should resolve the issue.

Based on your preferences, I would have to say that you would not be happy with the Propper tactical shorts. I don't think they are overly tight in the crotch or thighs, but they aren't loose. I will say, at least for me they stop at the knee. Try some TruSpec brand and I think you will be pleased.

The ones I got did not include fluid. I doubt they would be considered flammable but that may depend on the carrier and jurisdiction.

I think they are but would expect them to fog up severely, unless you live in an arid climate, on the east coast they fog up terribly if you wear them while walking/running/shooting at adversaries

I bought these pants in the summer and they have done well on cool mornings until fall. I would not consider them winter pants. I have been camping with them and put them on in the morning and that was ok. It really depends a lot on your personal preferences.

Yes, but keep in mind that it is not as durable as the the regular 5.11 tactical pants.

tuck in your shirt and wear underwear and that's not really an issue. Also, this is why handguns have tennifer coatings, to avoid rust. If a little sweat is going to break your gun, I certainly wouldn't trust my life to a gun that poorly made. I've done far worse things to my rifles and handguns in training than sweat on them a little.

I have not yet had a chance to test drive these particular pants, though I am working on it. That said, these are nylon. I hear that before Underarmor invented wicking sportswear fabric, nylon was terrible stuff. I even believe it, as I had a horrible nylon sweater that would make me sweat in negative temps. However, nylon and polyester and other synthetic fabrics are in most athletic clothes, and they are both comfy and breathable, as well as quickly wicking away moisture. (And, in the case, moisture is sweat from hiking.)
