I think you are fine, people don't notice what is going on around them never mind what pants you are wearing...

I wear night vision goggles and carry a katana when I go to the Farmer's Market, does that make me a ninja? Maybe, I don't know...

That's what I was thinking, I do wear them with a nice golf shirt to keep within the "office dress code". But even working in an office, I do tend to wear out some Dockers inside of a year, that's not bad, but times 5, and if I can get 2-3 times the life or better at 1-1/2 the price.


Thanks guys, I guess I'll be okay, at least until someone post another one of those "mall ninja surveys" again, then I might be in trouble.

Jamie Young at RogueElite has been very good to me when I ordered mine and is a member here.
I'll keep that in mind, right now I'm set, got an order of 5.11's on the way, next time, I will be sure to check them out.

I read (somewhere online) that 5.11 is going to make them in UPS brown and they are going to start wearing them. That would make them much more commonplace.

You know I have never heard a fanny pack, vest or 5.11 pants scream gun. I can't even get them to say hello.

It's when you have the pants, shirt, vest, hat and skivvies, then you need to worry.

I can see future posts like "do you think my 5.11 pants will go with my tuxedo jacket?"
You mean they don't? I gotta go to a wedding in Colorado this weekend, glad someone told me!
