Howdy, guys and gals! I'm Kyle Broderick. Welcome to the Social
Regressive with a special guest today. Hey, Kyle, I'm Corey. Alright, today we
are going through our Father's Day buying guide. I'm releasing a handful of
these videos as we get closer to Father's Day. Your dad needs pants. It's
about time that he stops sitting around in his underwear and it's about time you
had some decent outdoor pants so you guys can get back out to poaching
animals on the neighbor's fields. Right now the pants that I'm holding - and
Cory is actually wearing - it's Tru Spec tactical pants, which are awesome.
they're like yoga pants. and comfy. according to my wife, they're yoga pants
but they're for men. it is kind of like yoga pants. you see these these special
panels right back here? these are a different color. I know these are the
multicam ones. they come in all different colors. these are charcoal. they have some
greens and tans and things like black, but all of them feature this special
material right here. this is the same poly cotton rip stop material that they
have on the other 24-7 pants and it's it's very tough. I've used these for
years and years and actually just yesterday I was out doing some some work
with some friends hauling lumber around, doing some
chainsaw work, and really those things are still in fine condition. they're
probably like six years old now. rough use, tough stuff, but this material
is the different part. it makes it so you can sit, squat, stretch, and climb;
do all that sort of stuff that you normally can't do with your average
tactical pants. so these right here that I'm wearing, these will be the typical 24-7 pants.
These are the nice brown color. they have these and a whole bunch of
different colors and I really like these because they look a lot better than your
average cargos. they don't have the huge bellows pockets sticking out. they kind
of look like you can almost dress them up. yeah if you wanted to they could
probably pass for going to the office. mm-hmm. I know a lot of guys will wear
something like this just because they look nice but they're also very
comfortable, and I'll actually wear these to the office on Fridays.
It has a pretty slim leg to it. See it's got a good look
over all. you can pair it with a polo or something. but these right here are a
little different. these, since they don't have any of that stretching material
through the crotch or the knees or whatever, usually I find myself having to
hike them up a little bit to get over a barbed-wire fence and things like that.
But these are just ready for running after hogs, running from hogs,
jumping onto hogs... Have I mentioned hogs? yes these are great for all the
movements without having to you know kind of move your pants around in
order to kind of climb up and do some of the the hard use things that we're
used to doing; yeah; I found typically when I'm wearing jeans or something of
that nature I'm always kind of doing that like you said. to hike them up so
you can step over something. usually I find that if I'm squatting or kneeling
or setting down they start to bind usually behind the legs, which is a very
common place if you're bending. these pants don't do that.
they will stay with you when you're walking, when you're running, when you're
sitting down, if you're squat, in a kneeling position. regardless of what
position you're in, these are very comfortable. yeah and some of the other
nice things about the material: not only the stretchy stuff, but the regular. these
handle water really well. I've done some tests, actually getting some of these
soaking just to see how quickly they dry. actually, in some of the tests that I
did some of the other pants never dried by the time I had the test done. it just
took extra hours. these dry really really fast, and especially I bet these dark
ones would in a good sun. I've actually been splashed a couple times with these
when I was wearing them, and the water was nice. it beaded up. it never actually
soaked in. oh that's true. I was very impressed with that.
yeah, when these are new, when they're fresh it does have that Teflon coating
on the outside, so the water will bead up. these are a little bit older. supposedly
if you run an iron over them that'll come back. I haven't tried it yet. I just
don't mind, since these dry so fast. Let me show you some of
the things about these pants right here and what makes them a little
bit different from some of the other cargos you may have seen before now.
first off - I need your wallet. okay. all right. so a lot of these are gonna have
some kind of semi secure pocket, but it's really nice that on one side of the
front here you do have, yeah you have a zipper pocket, so you can keep things a
little bit more secure than usual. so if you do have something like keys or
whatever and you're out hunting you don't want to leave them on top of the
tire like the old trick, right? yeah. you can carry them in here and they'll be
nice and secure inside here. then you kind of flip around to the other side. it
looks the same but actually this one's a little bit better for quick access. so if
you wanted to have maybe some extra gear in here - like usually to keep my earplugs
or something in this side - and you can see that it also has little d-ring for
hanging stuff if you like that. one thing I do like about these pockets is they
stretch out as opposed to digging into your to your leg. and so that's one thing
I really noticed when I do have stuff shoved in here, that they don't dig into
the leg like most cargo pockets do. right. yeah. you were telling... you were kind of
showing off the the vents in the sides of the pockets. you got to see this. if
you are used to spending a lot of time outdoors, especially in the warmer
climates like here in Oklahoma, yeah these things are really cool. side
pockets been open and allow for excellent air flow. I've worn these last
summer whenever we were out producing some of your other videos out on the range, and this
is very nice and comfortable whenever we were out there. yeah this is a nice mesh
material just right there on the leg. and it's gonna let all that heat and
moisture kind of come off the leg. and you have matching ones down at the
bottom as well. so right down here where you're gonna be able to kind of take up
your slack around your your boot if you want to kind of tighten up down there,
you get those little mesh panels as well which is yeah just great for us in these
warmer climes. and you can actually zip it two different ways.
so you can kind of open up that leg and make it a bit more accessible for a a
bigger boot bigger foot bigger leg yeah. they're fantastic guy I've never
actually even had to use the the lower vents. just because I would open up the
sides and that would allow adequate airflow to come out so it was fantastic.
yeah and then this kind of works the same way up here too with this stretchy
material right at the top of the butt. it helps you to kind of clear the crack
a little bit. it helps to keep you a little bit cool on your lower back like
especially for you backpackers. some of the other features that you're gonna
find on these: this is one of Corey's favorites right down here. double knees.
because I have notoriously blown out the knees in my pants in most of my pants
are like that so I thoroughly enjoy the fact that it's a double knee. but it's
also stitched on the side here is such that it actually bends with the actual
form of your knee as you're bending, so it's a very natural feel. once again doesn't
bind it's not overly heavy still very lightweight and overall it's just a
lightweight pair of pants. but they're very durable you know. I do like those
features. yeah and instead of having that straight
leg that you get right here with the regular 24-7 pants or maybe the 511s or
whatever. in here you do get them kind of sewn up so it automatically has that
kind of nice shape to it which is going to make it more comfortable when you're
out and about. maybe it's not the prettiest thing but it conforms really
well and I should point out that just like the regular 24-7 pants it has a little
pocket right inside that second layer of fabric so if you want to put some of the
the knee pad liners inside there, that'll get you a little bit of extra protection.
One of the really trick things about this. now on the back we
kind of have the asymmetry continuing to go here. we have the quick access back
pocket as well as the secured back pocket so if you want to keep your
wallet here instead - I'm gonna keep it up front and I'm gonna keep it in these
pants - Thank You Corey for the wallet. you're not getting much but you're
welcome. yeah he's a dad too. but one of the
really cool pockets that you can see right here on the front... here go ahead
and grab that AR. pop the magazine latch. so you do get one pocket just right on
the outside made for an AR 15 mag. really quick to access and this is what I use
to - actually this the pocket on this pair of pants - I used this one when I was out
hog harvesting last time. we definitely were pumping rounds into those
hogs and they were just soaking them up. and yeah I had to go for that second
magazine down in here, and it was a nice quick change. I should point out, though,
that the regular 24-7 pants - each of these bellows pockets - can
actually fit two of these guys, and actually it holds them really securely.
both types of pants they hold the mags quite well. you can run with them in
place and you're not really gonna notice you have the other a AR 15 mags. I don't
know if these can fit an AR 10. I don't think so. I think it's just a AR 15. but
if you do run some of these you can get out. you don't have to have like a vest
or anything like that to get out and do some hunting. and the other nice thing
about it is just pluck this position perfectly where it is in natural reach of
your hand whenever you go down to grab. it's actually right there, so it's very
simple to grab and pull out, and then just load. so I like that.
one feature which is gonna be great for lefties, but I gotta say being a righty
myself, if I could you know point tru-spec in one direction I would say
put it on this side instead, because I'll have my hand up here,
go down for the mag, and grab that. so in my case I kinda have to reach across,
grab the mag. no it was ready to go. now one other thing that's kind of
missing on these pants versus these is that on these you do have a knife pocket
so right here. I've got my Ontario RAT-1 in this slimline pocket
right there, and on this they give you something a little bit different.
it's gonna serve the same function, though. yeah, so I actually have a
full-sized mossy oak knife that my son got me for Father's Day last year, and while
there's not a knife pocket itself, there is on the side pockets. they're
reinforced so you can tuck a knife in and they will hold it very well. yeah.
I've never had a knife fall out of from this right here. you get that little
bit of extra tension with that little extra bit of fabric and there's kind of
a little hump that has to get over so yeah I've never had one fall out. I have
had them fall out of these a couple times. it's pretty rare. it has to like
catch on a like a dog leash or a seat in your car or something when you're
sitting down, but for the most part these retain quite well. I should point out
that probably the biggest difference in addition to some of the features that
we've talked about here between these two different pants is that is the price
tag. these typically you're gonna be able to find them probably for about 45 50
bucks somewhere in there for a pair of the
regular 24-7 pants and if they go on sale you can get I've actually bought these for
as low as like $30. usually about every six months or so they're gonna go on
sale everywhere and you can find good prices on these. These, however, they're
not that cheap. no they're in the 70 to 80 dollar range is what I've seen them
for. yeah these are premium right here, and if you want to kind of you know
justify that purchase, these, I think, really will last a long time. I've been
very pleased going out you know doing some of the hunting that we've been
doing. I've been backpacking with these, I've done camping and kind of
bushcrafting sort of work, and they've definitely held up to everything I've
done it. they basically look like brand new and I would expect using the similar
material that they have on here that these are gonna last a good long time.
yeah and going back to what you're talking about earlier with some of the
elastic around the butt and the legs they also have it actually inside this
waistband too, which is great for people that are like me because I
kind of between sizes between a 32, 33, somewhere in there and sometimes having
that little larger size they'll bind up if I put my belt on. these pants don't do
that. these will stay nice, slim, uniform and they're very comfy. but they also
allow you to give whenever you're stretching and bending. yeah, good point.
this will kind of stretch and shrink with you so if you do have that big
Thanksgiving dinner or whatever, this is gonna deal with it. and maybe more
importantly, in winter, sometimes when you have to layer up - like I've worn when we
actually did the hog hunt - I had a pair of fleece bibs on under this and it was
able to just kind of stretch around that that little bit extra and it felt just
fine. For retention on the inside you do have kind of a
double button thing going on so you have a button on the inside just like he had
with tux pants or some good khakis or whatever. button on the outside. and then
YKK zippers all the way around. so yeah everything here is just kind of built to
last, built for hard use. like I'm saying and I think that your dad is going to be
very pleased. yeah, your dad. I know you're buying it for yourself.
of course well I mean there's nothing wrong with buying your own father's Day
gift right? well thank you guys be sure that you like share subscribe hit the
notification bell. we are continuing to work on the masterpieces like the rifle
back here. again, I do apologize that things are a little bit behind but I
have done some work in the background on this rifle. this is getting much closer
getting ready to go. we're doing a hand loading for this I've opened up the
barrel channel on the stock right here. testing out different scopes like the
Nikon FX 1000. great scope. I can already highly recommend it. but we're
gonna get into the nitty-gritty on this, and we have some new rifles coming up in
the future. we are gonna make sure that we take care of this one though. I know
most of you guys are waiting to see what we do with this and how it performs at a
mile, and we are we're gonna nail that target. we're gonna do great. so yeah,
