[KRS1]

Anyone in CNX looking for some good riding pants Central Airport has 5.11 Tactical pants at IBIS on the bottom floor. Wont save your ass in a slide, but fit really good for riding, 65% polyester 35% cotton polycotton ripstop fabric, has tons of pockets, wide crotch to put knee down, semi-elastic waist, 5 velcro pockets plus 3 more and waterproof except for heaviest showers ( i just held them under the faucet for 30 seconds and only the outside got slightly damp , inside was dry), double layer shin area...very cool airy pants. Knee pads will fit underneath. 550 baht, these would go for 1500-2000 baht in the US. Good for hiking too to avoid scraping from shrubs.

36 waist 32 length and up...Black, Navy Blue, Beige available. Get em while you can !

ahh...just read the tag and says theyre Dupont Teflon coated.

Thanks for the heads up KRS1. Saw the post in the Chiang Mai forum. Managed to pick up 6 pair for a little less than 2 pair would cost at the 5.11 store. And they had them in my size 38 x 30. I was there about an hour and a half ago and it looked like they had plenty left including a bunch in the storage room.

Awesome ! I really like these pants, very comfy...no belt needed ! They even have that little strap on the right back to hang gloves off of...as well as the front keychain loop. My phone (Nokia 311) fits perfectly in the 'magazine' holder...LOL

[Genericnic]

KRS1, did you notice if they have any other 5.11 pants styles there? I was so focused on the Taclite Pros that I forgot to look. I am trying to find some of the Covert Cargo Pants too.

David

[KRS1]

I forgot to look too, i have to go back and get some shorts though and I'll take a look while im there.

btw...im washing a pair right now, the inside tag says to turn inside out when washing...guess so the teflon coating will last longer. You might want to wash them first...theyre pretty dirty.

Maybe I'll run into you there. I'm going to head back tomorrow and see what else they may have.

As for washing, I dropped them off with the woman that does my laundry. I always do a quick wash on new clothes before wearing just to see if they are going to shrink or bleed.

David

[KRS1]

Just handwashed them, really easy to wash, the soap came completely out during the first rinse, didnt even have to wring the detergent out

Good for washing on the road while traveling ! Going to pick up two more pair .

[Genericnic]

If you hang them up to dry, I'd be interested in knowing about how long it takes. Drying on the road is more of an issue than how easy they wash, at least for me.

David

[KRS1]

Hung them up at 735 PM...will report back when dry, and i wont even use my outdoor air conditioner unit to dry them like i always do....

These are drying at night too, so direct sunlight should be much faster. Not humid tonight either so that should cut down on drying time.

Thanks for the information. Sounds like they will be good for travel.

Just got back from Ibis and, unfortunately, the Taclife Pro pants are the only ones they have - but they do have a good pile of them left. I was sure hoping they had the Covert Khaki 2.0 pants but I saved enough on the Pros that I can afford a couple of the Coverts at full price.

And thanks to Krs1. I have some on the way as well..thanks

[RED21]

Thanks for the info guys. Hope there's still some left on Saturday when I get back to the city.

[KRS1]

Theres plenty left, but if they dont have your size ask the salesgirls and theyll check in the store room...thats how i got them for thaicbr.

Not all sizes are on display.

[RED21]

Can't wait to get a few pairs this weekend...

[Genericnic]

I'm impressed. That was a great overall test. I'm glad I bought a bunch of these.

[KRS1]

Today i went out to the Chiang Mai Grand Canyon (old Quarry, turn right at first bridge after PT gas station after crossing 1269 on canal road)) and went swimming in them, spur of the moment thing... by the time i drove back to CNX the legs were completely dry. The back was still a little damp though.

So 15 minutes while riding and your good to go.

These are shaping up to be almost perfect riding pants. I'm anxious to see if my Bohn Body Armor will fit under them. I'm pretty sure they will. That will raise them to perfect from my perspective.

Can someone who is willing to post to Bangkok please PM me with the total cost (inc. EMS and tip) and I can bank transfer the money.

Navy blue, 36 waist (I'll have the inside leg measurement later, though it won't need to be exact).

Thanks.

Went to Kad Suan Kaew today on a hunch that other shops may have the same pants. There were some other type of 5.11 pants located on the 1st floor, its the shop that is located by the main entrance on the left by the escalators.

These were a different style, dont know which model but the fabric is different...inside the waistband had rubber on it for grip.

Sounds like it might be worth a run over tomorrow. Did they look like the real thing or just a knock off?

David

[thaicbr]

mINE ARRIVED TODAY.. tHANKS AGAIN kRS1.

Nice trousers. lightweight decent material.. Only tiny gripe.. pop stud waist fastener but it does have a button on the opposite side.

Krs1.. good job we went with the 40's and not the 38's these are either sized correctly and all my jeans are sized bigger or these are sized slightly small.. it's all good though

[Salapoo]

Guess I'll have to look around BKK.

David

I'm pretty sure they were real, had a whole table full of them. I wouldnt think knock offs would have the rubber on the inside.

I like the Taclite Pros better though, the ones at KSK look like ordinary pants.
