Did Keen Just Out “Tactical” Tactical Pants Makers?

Check out the Newport Pant from KEEN’s new line of outdoor clothing. It’s a pretty nice set up for a pair outdoor pants. The only thing that might be a deal breaker is the 100% Cotton fabric story but even that has its place.

    Quite possibly! Remove accents and make it NYCO or even a softshell and likely it could be “operator” friendly. But then again consummate professionals (aka actual bad-assess) wouldn’t wear anything that SCREAMS tactical. Nonetheless you could imagine some folks giving up their 5.11 tuxedos!

    pants look good enough, but for that price they might find themselves hard pressed to take market share from kuhl.
    I’ll certainly be giving them a try when I can find them for a bit less.

    Keen has a pro deal for those in the military and law enforcement, makes the pants more than reasonable. As soon as they have stock in my size I’ll be getting a pair.

    “Tactical Bad Asses” don’t sit at home making fun of everything solider systems posts from their over zealous anonymous keyboard

    Yeah, I agree with the guy that champions Khul, between them and TAD everything is taken care of.

    You can sign up for a Keen “Pro” account here:

    That’s their discount program for “qualified outdoor industry professionals.”

    As far as “out tactical-ing” tac pants, I think Fjallraven’s Keb pant does that in spades. Flat out the most comfortable pair of pants I’ve ever worn.

    Duluth Trading Company = firehose material pants. Hippies and lumberjacks have always designed best outdoor (tactical) apparel.
