Since I discovered [Tru-Spec tactical pants](http://www.atlanco.com/product/24-7-series-mens-tactical-pants,15,86.htm)years ago, they’re all I wear.  
The number and configuration of pockets is awesome. The dedicated knife and baton or magazine pockets are genius.

They make shorts as well, and I have several of those as well.

They go with everything, everywhere!
