5.11 Taclite Pro Trousers

[Pandabean]

Just wondering if anyone can tell me if the material used in the 5.11 Taclite Pros is similar to that used in Craghoppers? I am just wondering about the thickness of the material.

Also I noticed on Lakeland Bushcraft and other sites that the leg length is 32". Are there any shorter sizes?

Could anyone tell me what the fit around the waist is like? With my work trousers I fit into a 34" but for Craghoppers I fit nicely into the 32" which need a belt sometimes to hold up properly....managed ot get into an old pair of 30" ones without any bother.

I was looking at the Fjallraven ones, even though they are more expensive and I have heard good reviews until lately when the quality of the recently made ones was questioned.

As far as comparisons go the 5.11 seem a bit heavier than my Craghoppers (but then my craghoppers are going transparent in the crotch from years of wear... so it may not be true of new to new comparison) and for my money are better styled and featured.
In fact I think that, for fit and function, 5.11s wee all over the oposition
Multiple leg lengths are available -30"-36" in even inches - short and long

Fabric is a bit thicker and more silent. Online shop "Intelligent Armour" let you select waist and length, like for jeans. I took same size as I take for Levi's and that worked fine for me, with some room to spare so probably a 32" would fit you.

Taclite Pro are heavier with a ripstop weave when compared to my standard-weight Craghoppers.
