KRYDEXK4 Combat Pants with Knee Pads Ripstop Como Cargo Pants for Men

Thoroughly impressed with these for the price, they’re excellent clones of the G4 and are packed with all of the features. Even if I burn through o pair a year training, that’s still a great value! The knee pads are tough to get in, but start at the button and push them all the way down, then feed the black part around until it’s secure. I went with the medium and am a 30-32 waist depending on the pant and they fit great.

The material is not exactly the same as the Crye Gen 4, it's more of a tradition ripstop.Hip pockets, front pockets, and cargo pockets all have the same mesh material as Crye, which is one of the best elements of the Gen 4Stitching is very good, looks identical to the rear thingColor match is very good (Ranger Green)Sizing was spot onIf you have to wear Crye type pants as a job requirement these are a great cost effective alternative for training.

They’re nice pants and fit true to size, but I was sent a pair that was clearly used. The knee pads were installed and had scuffs on them probably from someone testing them out before returning. It’s not a big deal, but they’re listed as new.

They’re actually a pretty good copy. The only issue I’ve ran into is that the knee pads are not actually centered on the pant leg. Therefore, when you kneel down the insides of your knees are usually on the ground. The kneepads are wrapping around the outside of your knees.I added a picture so you can see the wear marks of where they actually landI’ve been running crye pants for almost a decade tierd of paying that price. If they can fix the position of the knee pad, these things would be awesome.I’m going to see if I can get a seamstress to fix the issue

I haven’t tried CP pants but if you’re on a budget these pants are solid. I have used these pants at the range on several outings and they have proved to be reliable. The fabric flexes and adjusts with your movement and haven’t had any blowouts at the seams or crotch areas. My only complaint is putting in the knee pads is a chore. They are hard to put in but once in they offer solid knee support. I have actual CP knee pads that fit better but don’t offer as much knee support as the ones shipped. If you don’t mind struggling to put the factory knee pads in they are a great pair of range pants. I haven’t put them through the torture test of field ops, but for the price you can’t go wrong. In my case, I purchased the size 34 and they were true to size. They are slim leg so if you have massive leg canons maybe size up. I’m 220 and 6ft tall the 34 waist fit perfect. For the price and construction these are great pants. Now, the combat shirt, go up one size. I got the large combat shirt and it was a smeadium. Had to go up one size. I would recommend. Still gave it five despite the difficulty with the knee pads. Buy the CP knee pads if it’s a deal breaker.

I bought a set of these incredibly light, stretchy, wonderfully utilitarian pants several years ago and liked them so well I bought several more. I wear them quite frequently for both work and play. They've held up vary well despite the rough work and recreational activities I enjoy, and my oldest pairs still look and function nearly as well as my newer pairs. I've had zero failures with any of them, and the most damage I've been able to do to them are merely some tiny snags and cuts that went nowhere because the ripstop stretchy fabric is extremely tough. That's saying something, because I can tear up a pair of work pants in nothing flat. The kneepads are truly kneecap and shin savers, are comfortable and work well whether you're prone on concrete drilling holes in metal all day or hamming out doing combat slides. The waistband is cushioned, with elastic adjusters and 7 large belt loops, and they have numerous utilitarian pockets (hip pockets, thigh pockets, cargo and ankle pockets plus knife slots) There are also elastic mag holders sewn into the cargo pockets, and even a secret hidey hole location I'll not disclose. The kneepads have height adjusters built into the cargo pockets and tighten behind the knee via velcro straps, and the ankles can be pulled tight around your boots and strapped similarly. The pockets themselves are made of a mesh material, and on hot days you can unzip your thigh pockets then open your cargo pockets and tuck the flap to allow leg ventilation. That's a definite bonus.All in all, I've purchased several items from Krydex because of the quality of these pants and have never been disappointed with a single thing, however-I just purchased another pair, and I am not happy with them at all. The cut and all other features are as previously, but the pants themselves are made of an entirely different fabric than the thin stretchy material of my previous purchases and is instead a thick non stretch ripstop material. I'll be returning the newest set and just wearing my older ones. That fabric made the pants special. These are not. What happened?

Wanted a clone for training so as to not destroy the genuine Crye pants, and thus feel the pain of losing the enormously overpriced "real-deal."These hit the mark. They are exact replicas down to the stretch fabric. Now I'm not saying that the fabric is the exact same but sure does feel like it. Even the felt in the waist does. Time will tell.They have held up so far, a lot of up and down, harsh environments, simunitions, etc.They are light, breathe well, stretch well and literally look just like the real deal at a fraction of the cost.Highly recommend.
