5.11 vs. Propper Tactical Pants

I have been marketing Propper clothing to Law Enforcement heavy this last year. We are encouraging Law Enforcement Officers to ditch the old polyester uniforms and put everyone in polos and Khakis, also to not be elitists when it comes to brands. When it comes to tactical pants, I have always laughed that people automatically default to 5.11 like they are such a superior product. I took some pics just to show them side by side and will post a video soon, so everyone can see in a little more detail. Propper pants are made with the same quality as those of 5.11 but are cheaper AND Propper ships FAST. We offer 3 day shipping to anywhere CONUS, and in most cases your package will arrive the second business day after you order. Choosing a brand simply based on brand name and not quality and price isn't anything more than elitism which runs rampant in our industry, however it is my job to keep end users informed and this is just one way to do to. For those who say the 5.11's are better; you have no case.

These pockets are almost the EXACT same size and shape and lay on the same spot on the pants.

...same with the cargo pockets

here's a closer look

What's the difference on the pant waist band?

They both have the same D-ring as well

They both have instant access back pockets. The 5.11's angle is more at a 45 degree than the Propper's which lay a little more towards 90. The cotton 1" webbing piece on the back of the 5.11's is an evolution of their outdoorsman pants, but serves no tactical purpose what-so-ever.
