"Excellent design. Wife had hard time hemming pants due to thick fabric. Very well made. Pockets galore. Very pliable. Very comfortable."

"Comfortable, well-fitting, sturdy, and 30% cheaper than the 'named' competition. Yeah, kneepads would be nice but these are still my preferred pants."

"My EMS station recently outfitted us with these pants. They are very comfortable, and seem to be very well made. There are more pockets than I know what to do with, but its nice to have so many options. My only criticism is I wish they had padded knees, but other than that they're awesome."

Great idea, but a bit gimmicky.

"I typically wear the standard Propper Tactical pants, but since I am adding EMT training to my 'tool box', I thought I would try a few of these pants to see how they stack up.
As with most Propper pants, they are made in China, but have excellent coloration, durability and fitment. I regularly put the other Propper pants through the ringer with heavy belts, pouches, etc. (I conceal carry and have other gear on my belts). The Propper pants are made of a tough and colorfast material. Just wash them mildly whilst turned inside out.
Now with the EMT pant specifically, which only comes unhemmed, I felt the EMT pocket was a bit overkill.
As stated, it features a zippered main pocket, which is closest to your body and is between the pocket flap and your leg. The zipper is recessed down from the top of the flap, so it hangs out away from your body quite a bit. The stock photo does NOT show this. It goes as deep as the entire pocket "panel".
Secondly, you have the flap pocket itself, which has two pieces of velcro for retention. This pocket also goes the depth of the 'panel'.
Thirdly, you have a narrower pocket that is holding nitrile gloves in the stock photo. The pocket has an overlap flap about 1/4" in width to keep in closed.
Lastly, you have the EMT shears pocket. This is actually a pocket sewn vertically into thirds like an extra wide pen pocket on the sleeve of a shirt. The center pocket is intended to hold the shear blades and the outer thirds have the snap flaps. Ostensibly to hold the handles of the shears. The only issue, is that these flaps are strictly vertical and don't really hold the shears without bunching the material up. This only exacerbates the situation that you have no less than FIVE layers of material in that area; due to the excessively layered pocket.
To make matters worse, they bloused the main pocket body (the one with the velcro closure) which only permits the pocket to bunch and distort more. This pocket design seems to have been designed by committee. Everyone wanted a different closure type, so they figured they would just put all of them in. I kid not, you could probably stuff 6 M4 magazines in this pocket system. And there is one on each leg!
Anyways, while it sounds like a good idea, they should have simply made a zippered pocket (smaller, please) with no blousing and a shear sleeve on the outside with one snap loop (installed at a slight angle or of something not as stiff as 1" wide strapping) to hold it in place.
I think for the time being, I will buy a pouch to hold EMT shears made to install to MOLLE webbing (to put on my belt) and use regular thigh pockets to hold some gloves. Much simpler if you ask me. Please consider regular Propper tac pants and avoid the excessive "impractical tactical" loadout of these. I also do not care for the narrow belt loops or lower leg pockets."
