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.
Features:
– Darted knee for articulation
– Double layer panel reduces wear
– Double layer reinforced knee
– Durable double-bound pocket opening
– Extra deep front pockets with large utility coin pocket
– Gusseted for freedom of movement
– Heavy duty shank button
– Opening at lower knee panel for debris exit
– Secure drop pocket
– Wide back tunnel belt loop
Available in Khaki with Olive Green accents or vice versa.

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.
Promotive, govx, ??
Keen runs their own pro deal, it’s not through an aggregate pro deal. Similar to Mountain Hardwear and Black Diamond.
“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.

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.
