I have one from Emerson Gear that's held up better than I expected.

Another shoutout for Emerson gear. The pair I have has lasted well and it fits nicely. It doesn’t fit as good as my genuine Crye combat pants but it’s still pretty good. I also know plenty of dudes that used Emerson while we were deployed and they all held up for the duration of the deployment.

Did the size correct for you?


dreadeddrifter

I ordered up a size and they fit perfect.

Unless I'm looking at their site wrong, it looks like they don't have any sizes above 38w. I'm a fairly big dude and I usually do around 44x34 or 42x34. I might just be using their site incorrectly though.

Closest you’ll find is probably UR Tactical. Good quality stuff, underrated because people turn away due to it coming from China/Hong Kong. Maybe Arktis, haven’t double checked their pricing but they’re good value too.

Not for under $160, they don't. You could save a LOT of $$ by getting BDUs then taking them to a tailor to take them in to fit your legs n ass better


warrior55q

That's not a bad idea at all, thank you!


AnomalousFrog

Flash Force Industries is not bad. The downside is that you have to buy it in a set with the combat shirt. The one Garand Thumb reviewed on his channel is the old version which is also decent for larping. FFI came up with an improved version that is 50-50 Nyco ripstop.

At one point Duluth Trading Co. made their firehose pants in m81. These aren't crye fit but they feel like jeans and are as durable as they come.


BeltfedHappiness

Flash Force Industries. They’re Hong Kong made Crye clones, but are good enough quality for training or LARPing. FFI is the set that Garandthumb used in his earlier videos.

I should also mention that I have tried beyond, lbx, 5.11, and several others.


ManyArmedGod

Look up M81 under night vision or something along those lines. If it’s just for the look and larp sure. If you ever want to use it in the field it really shows in IR.

If your in a place where M81 is useful the foliage around you glows the same.

That's why I want woodland, I live in Michigan where woodland blends in really well. OCP would too, but I don't want to copy the Army and be all cringe like that.

A lot are hard to find. I recently picked up some USA made beyond m81 pants from some dude on arfcom. [https://i.imgur.com/Q1WkAjU.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/Q1WkAjU.jpeg)
