I wear these pants every day while not at work or working as a volunteer firefighter in the Jeff Davis mountains. These pants are highly functional and durable. These are an excellent base for EDC and will accept a wide belt. The pockets and placement are perfect. These pants hold up to abrasion very well as I have worn them in wildland firefighting hiking up mountain sides full of cat claw and all thorn bushes without a tear or rip in the material. Pockets holding clipped edc tools such as knives, flashlights and multi tools have yet to fray at the seemed edges after 9 months of everyday use. These are my go to pants for the foreseeable future. Five out of five all day.

These things are everything I wanted the Apex to be and so much more. The fabric is fit for four season, super durable, and incredibly comfortable. The cut is trim without being snug. The little details like the knee articulation and waistband design elevate the whole package, and the inset cargo pockets allow for maximum utility without coming across like I'm trying to look too tacticool. My only complaint is that I can't snag a pair of these in grey. 10/10 will buy again.

First things first, I want to get the only negative thing about this pant out of the way.....5.11, please for the love of GOD! Please make these in other colors. I would buy yet another pair of these if they came in Volcanic or Tundra. Stop making "new pants," and just give us the other colors in the products that never stay in stock. Ok, now onto what I like about these pants. I really wasn't sure what to make of the Ridge pant. Prior to this pant coming out, I really thought the Apex pants where the best pants hands down as far as fit & functional use for me. But I have to say, I liked that the Ridge has a bit of taper to its legs. I think it improves the look of the APEX pant....Because make no mistake, this is basically the APEX pant with a tapered fit in the ... MoreFirst things first, I want to get the only negative thing about this pant out of the way.....5.11, please for the love of GOD!

I also like that they got rid of the wide Y-yoke for the back belt loop. The V-shaped double belt loop looks better (IMO.)

Super comfortable every day pant. It has enough pockets to be "tactical" while avoiding the "cargo/tactical " look. Stretch fabric allows for good movement with a slim profile. Great for aiwb carry. Would love to see some other colors.My only complaint (not a biggy) is a dedicated pocket for an EDC flashlight. The zip cargo pockets have good dividers but none of them orient the light well. The double back pockets allow the light to periscope, fall out, and about forget sitting down if it's back there.The front slash pockets are good but their location requires removal of the light if you kneeling or stepping up (ladder or climbing)I do really think the pant is great and it deserves 5 stars, but if you carry an EDC light you might find issues.
This is probably the best item of clothing I've purchased in years. I wear them exclusively for work, in a shipyard, so they're getting put to the test on a daily basis. My requirements were durability, comfort (breathability/stretch), and cargo capacity, pretty much in that order. The Ridge pant has exceeded all expectations. It's hard to think of anything I don't like. I can fit two 12oz water bottles in a single leg pocket with room to spare, but when the pocket is empty it "disappears" like magic. I wear hard-shell knee pads 10 hours a day and the material never bunches up in back or digs into my skin, which... for anybody who's dealt with that before, you know how irritating it can be. All day long, I'm up, I'm down, climbing ladders, kneeling in the dirt, ... MoreThis is probably the best item of clothing I've purchased in years.

All day long, I'm up, I'm down, climbing ladders, kneeling in the dirt, these pants stretch so well that you don't even feel it happening. I have not once, in several hundred hours of use, found a "limit" to the stretch nor have I ever felt uncomfortably constricted. The pants are breathable, weigh about as much as a pair of gym shorts, and after weeks of daily wear and wash, they still look absolutely brand new. The cherry on top is the slim fitted silhouette that neither looks nor feels like you're wearing cargo pants. I'd recommend them to anyone who needs a professional-looking work pant for a physical job like landscaping, tree service, plumbing, electrical, flooring, etc.
5.11 Ridge pants are the only pants I wear, period. Before discovering them, I wore Mountain Hardwear's AP Pant, exclusively, for close to 10 years. I wasn't happy with the colors offered--no black, for example--or the way they would fade and stretch out after just a couple of washes, but they were the only pants I could find that fit me decently. Since discovering 5.11 Tactical and the Ridge Pant, I have never looked back. The richness of the colors topped off with a mild sheen, the slight elasticity of the fabric, and the fit make them look fantastic. And, unlike the AP Pant, the Ridge Pant retains its look and fit wash after wash. I tried a few pairs of Viktos pants as well, but while they are quality pants, the look and fit just don't compare to that of the ... More5.11 Ridge pants are the only pants I wear, period.

If 5.11 Tactical were ever to discontinue the Ridge Pant, I would be tremendously disappointed because no other pants come close in any regard.If I can offer one suggestion to 5.11, it would be to please consider adding a zipper to at least one of the rear pockets just so that you don't have to worry about your cash fall out--if, like me, you carry it in your back pocket--while you drive.I love these pants!!
Me and my employees have been wearing 5.11 Apex Pants for a few years for work with no failures and no complaints. I decided to try a couple pairs of the Ridge Pant. They are identical to the Apex except the have a slimmer leg. I love them! Perfect fit. One thing we really like about either of these is the stretchyness of the waist. During the winter, I add layers, up to 3 top layers and two bottom layers all tucked in and the pants stretch easily to accommodate. Also, It's nearly impossible to snag, tear, or wear out in general. They are absolutely worth the investment!
Previously, I purchased 3 pairs of Icon pants, which I love. This was my first purchase of the Ridge pant. The Ridge is a slimmer cut, and I found that my waist size was an inch less, compared to the Icon. I like the cut and look, and the pants are very comfortable. The Ridge pant has zippered main pockets as opposed to the Icon's flap closures. The zippers don't glide easily, so the opening and closing of these pockets is a two-handed operation. Because of the slimmer nature, the Ridge pant doesn't carry as much gear and various EDC as the Icon. However, there are four rear pockets on the Ridge, as opposed to two, and I found these extra pockets handy. Overall, the Ridge has a flattering cut, and is very comfortable. The material breathes well and stays cooler ... MorePreviously, I purchased 3 pairs of Icon pants, which I love. This was my first purchase of the Ridge pant.

So, the fit, style and finish of the Ridge pants are really nice but could be better.For starters, the entrance to the front main pockets (not zippered) is made of a thin, not durable material that is not color matched the other material of the pants. This material is stretchy, and easily frays or can get snagged, especially with keys being stored in the pockets on this material.I understand the reason behind this stretchy material, as it allows for size adjustments for those larger individuals who are wearing them. It those circumstances, users should choose a larger waist size.This design is used on many of the 5.11 pants and in my opinion, it's an extremely poor design and a major drawback on a pair of pants selling for $90.00 dollars.The only other issue is ... MoreSo, the fit, style and finish of the Ridge pants are really nice but could be better.For starters, the entrance to the front main pockets (not zippered) is made of a thin, not durable material that is not color matched the other material of the pants.

It should be like the loop on the Apex pants, a one-piece triangle design with the 5.11 logo.Other than the above issues, these pants are very comfortable.5.11, designers, you need to change the material at the pocket entrance.Thx,CMV
I ordered a pair of these pants and was impressed with the quality so much I got 4 more pair and wear these everyday.The pockets are strong and deep with a good cut for knives or flashlights to clip, the side zip pockets are well made and sleek, the zipper could be stronger but for their use and placement they shouldn't be under stress so that's fine. The side pockets even have a band inside to hold a water bottle or something similar so it stays in place while running or climbing.The cuff key pocket at the bottom left leg is a nice touch.I absolutely love the double back pocket for anything from an rifle mag or pistol or just a can of dip and your phone.The slightly stretchy material near the pockets runs up to the belt line and provides a nice snug fit when ... MoreI ordered a pair of these pants and was impressed with the quality so much I got 4 more pair and wear these everyday.The pockets are strong and deep with a good cut for knives or flashlights to clip, the side zip pockets are well made and sleek, the zipper could be stronger but for their use and placement they shouldn't be under stress so that's fine.
