Are there any quality alternatives to Crye Precision's G3 pants with the built in knee pads that won't break the bank? All their pants basically start at like $275 and can go up from there to like $400 which is ridiculous. I mean I'm sure they are quality but goddamn.
I mean you CAN find tactical/combat pants on Amazon with built in knee pads for like $60-$70 but they are all made by airsoft apparel companies and so I'm sure they are really shit quality.
Or, is Crye Precision's shit just REALLY worth the money?
Milsurp pants: $25 Knee pads: $10 Thrift store sewing machine: $20 Not being a tacticool faggot: priceless

I mean frugality is nice but that is borderline poorfag shit

>Not being a tacticool faggot: priceless This, desu. Crye or die. Either you die a metaphysical gearfag death or you stop being poor. Buy once Crye once.
>t. Crye G3 and AC owner.
Grayson Nelson
no
stop being poor
Adam Thomas
If you don't mind stitching up the crotch when it blows out after a few months of casual wear, crye pants are great.
I mean, yeah, you look like a faggot when you wear them.
And they weigh too much.
and they don't breathe well in hot weather.
and if you wear them in public they'll guarantee you get shot first if there is an active shooter situation.
BUT you get to look down on people who didn't spend a lot of money on their pants. And that obviously outweighs all the negatives.
Owen Richardson
Some blue jeans.

Xavier Jenkins
Blue jeans or deluth ball room/ work pants and throw on some kneepads. Quit being a queer.
Andrew Walker
Just so I'm clear, are you actually arguing AGAINST combat trousers being practical?
Leo Butler
I'm arguing against a standard of practicality for dictating tactical gear procurement because it always turns into some faglord greyman shtf bullshit or x guy in 2004 is pictured with a tank top barebones m4 and ballcap so you don't need y. You can't a priori define what is practical for all circumstances, which ends up with the whole previous faglord greyman arguments being interjected against dudes trying to larp harder than each other as well as poorfag justification memes. Combat pants are entirely practical for what they were designed to do, they are not totally socially acceptable for reasons beyond combat pants' design or their designers' control.
Ryan James
Try gorka?
Aaron Cox
Why do you faggots insist on larping?
Just wear fucking jeans.
Dominic Nguyen
>t. poorfag and samefag
Leo Cox
No you are just upset that multiple people (and everyone who you interact with in your day to day) think you are cringy
What's the point of stopping when I have the wherewithal to do whatever I feel like?
Jonathan Nelson
Alternative, buy 5.11 pants that let you put padded inserts in a pocket between the inner and outer layers of fabric for half/a third the cost. Makes shooting from a kneeling position more comfy.
Only disadvantage is the outer shell is not hard so you can't muy thai a dude/that rock you fell on.
>Needing knee pads Jesus Jow Forums is filled with such wussy baby shit kids.
Jackson Torres
Buy a cheap foam sleeping mat from WalMart's sporting goods department and cut it up. Use that as the knee pad insert. Works fantastic and for 5 bucks you get enough foam for about 10 pairs.
Joseph Smith
Just get some Dickies OP
Or if you really need camo get surplus Army combat pants.
Camden Perez
A pair of jeans. Grow up, gamerfag.
Colton Young
Just get more money so you don't have to subject yourself to normie scum suggesting bluejeans.
James Wilson
>I want cool guy shit without paying cool guy prices
Then buy shitty airsoft replica gear. Playing airsoft is what you're doing anyway, or worse you're an ausfag who is underage for airsoft and just plays dress up to watch airsoft videos with his buddies.
Landon Gonzalez
the issued army combat pants work fine. just ge tthe crye kneepads for them and the crye combat shirt
Sebastian Hernandez
>samefag >poorfag I don't think you know what that term really means. The value of mobility and clothing being comfortable is prized beyond all sense. Ubiquity and utilitarian articles of gear are what make the shooter, not compensation or buying an item solely on the fact a branch of the military has a contract with that business. If you can buy it, sure go for it, but jumping to the conclusion that just because someone wants to save some money to purchase other things doesn't make them poor, just frugal.
I like ranch coats, jeans, boots and long sleeve shirts. Undercover, simplicity and being innocuous is sometimes the best choice, especially in populated rural areas or at times in city areas. Some of us don't spend money solely to run around in the gear in our homes or when out innawoods. We've got bills to pay and if something we have works or we can get something that works far cheaper than a pair of $300 pants, we will user.
I have the real ones that cost a little more than that per pair, but if you feel like putting in effort, what is suggesting would probably be actually better. I'm not familiar with them, but I'm going to assume that they are a little thicker and a little heavier.
Carson Cooper
Combat shirt is shit unless you're wearing body armor. It's way too thick to wick as well as normal underarmour style shirts. Better to have a looser fitting top.
Luis Robinson
>Ubiquity and utilitarian articles of gear are what make the shooter Condor plate carriers are ubiquitous and utilitarian in nature but are definitively shit. Issued line unit gear is ubiquitous and utilitarian in nature and pretty shitty overall as well.
>but jumping to the conclusion that just because someone wants to save some money to purchase other things doesn't make them poor, just frugal. The OP in question is clearly considering value, but he is able to purchase them and is looking for poorfag alternatives as a value proposition. To reply "blue jeans ya fag" is clearly indicative of poorfaggotry where other slightly less costly alternatives (but still costly to blue jeans) are not even factored into the response.
>We've got bills to pay and if something we have works or we can get something that works far cheaper than a pair of $300 pants, we will user. Sounds like a personal problem of limited financial resources, to me. Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Jordan Collins
You are a tacticool faggot
Joshua Bailey
You missed my point. A pair of pants you are comfortable with is perfectly fine is what I was getting at. Regardless if it's only $20, $50, or $300. >Personal problems of limited finances No man, I just don't see the point in spending $300 on a pair of pants. Multi-pocket or not it's not something I or OP really consider. Why does everyone jump to the conclusion that not spending exorbitant amounts of cash mean you are a poorfag? OP asked for QUALITY alternatives to a pair of memepants from Retaliation, not because he is poor, just to see if there are other choices. Anons offered choices and reasons and then get attacked as having a lack of funds.
It's barf.com way of thinking and it's pathetic.
Jace Campbell
>t. cryelet
Jaxson Barnes
The alternatives are fine if you don't need any sort of comparative quality and/or durability. Secondly, they just had a sale not long ago for crye ACs that were under 100 dollars per pair.
A thrifty and resourceful individual can even find like new pants (in addition to some aforementioned sales) that are substantially cheaper in price but have a lot of value if you want to value-fag it up. Of course you can always get "just as good" stuff and waste your money if you'd like.
Adam Murphy
Kind of have to mirror the poorfag accusations, the only people who bitch about cryes are people who cant afford them. I mean, I have massive buyers remorse for mine since I basically never wear them as I dont do that wearing tactical shit to the range bullshit, but in spite of that I still have to say definitively they are the most comfortable pants I have ever worn and wouldn't knock someone for wanting to wear them. Makes even stretch jeans feel restrictive in comparison.
Joseph Butler
I'd rather dress like a poorfag than a sucker.
Thomas Clark
I just wear Old Navy jeans when I'm at work or at the range or a class. They are /comfy/. Don't get me wrong, I'd get a pair of the G2, but I'd sooner buy a Gorka 3 Suit over it.
Ayden Parker
As a gorka and crye owner, you would be wasting your money on the gorka pants for anything but winter/pacific northwest weather.
Jonathan Walker
You are right, as I'm selling my Gorka suit right now after using it a few times and deciding I like jeans more. Help me senpai.
Jacob Wright
Gorkas are oversuits. I'd rather have thermals and gorkas over thermals and jeans. Jeans are a terrible choice for anything other than temperate and mild effort activities.
Evan Smith
I'm in Florida. It's either that or short shorts when in the everglades or reserves and it's 94 degrees with 88% humidity.
Luke Nelson
>buys a gorka >in what amounts to a tropical/sub-tropic zone >sells the gorka and thinks jeans/short shorts are even better ideas
Just wear cargo shorts, t-shirts, and sandals like every other damn Floridian you contrarian faglord. When you larp just wear some thin NYCO BDU/Cargo pants so you don't get lyme disease. Crye makes pants called crye field pants that can even be worn as plainclothes generic solid color cargo pants. You have literally no excuse for being this retarded.
Levi Reyes
>jeans/short shorts are better I've worn jeans and shorts for years you faggot. I just bought into the gorka meme because playing Siege became to real. When I went back to NV my tastes changed. >contrarian ...Jow Forums? >No excuse being this retarded Autism. Seriously.
Bentley Howard
I live in the Great Plains and I'll be the first to say the Gorka is butt-fucking retarded for anything resembling warm weather and humidity. Honestly I've just accepted the Gorka is a Slavic garbage bag you wear and it makes sense. Looks neat though. I also have farted about with Crye pants but there is no way I would buy a pair of pants that run that much because my job would beat them to death in short order. Welding and machining is death to clothing so I wear stuff like those Duluth fire hose pants and the generic Wrangler ripstop pants, they work well enough, are comfortable, and when they eat a shit I'm not out a lot.
Jack Cooper
>R6 Siege gorka memes >contrarianism is limited to Jow Forums >no really a heavy cotton weave is really good for hot humid weather
You tried.
It's basically a cheap softshell that does quite well in my experience for cold and slightly wet weather.
