  • Clever, comfortable, cool jeans. Good repacement for cargo pants.
Size: 34W x 30L Color: Dark Stonewash
I love these jeans. I don't really use them for anything tactical, but the side pockets meant for magazines were great for keeping my wallet. My wallet feels better on my side than in my front or back pocket. There is also a pocket for a flashlight, pocket knife, or small wallet. I like that they don't look very tactical. There is a little flex to the pants, but not a lot which again, feels good. I typically end up wearing a belt, in part to that and the size was a little bit large. The jeans are a nice thickness as well. I wouldn't use them for hard work, but I accept the trade off they made for making sure they aren't too hot in summer. The pockets are lined with a mesh. They seem like they will hold up for a long time. My only gripe is they are pricey, but not outrageous. They are also not boot cut if that matters. Cowboy boots are too big, they will fit, but might look funny. Work/tactical boots are okay, but might show a little as well, but not as bad. I'd recommend these jeans and plan on getting a second pair. ... show more

  • Comfortable and unique jeans.
Size: 44W x 34L Color: Sandstorm
These are amazing jeans that have great fit and long life. I own many pairs and gave up on the rest. The colors are all great and the material looks good. My favorite pants to wear.

  • Best Jeans Ever
Size: 36W x 32L Color: Dark Stonewash
I've owned 2 pairs of these jeans and they are the best. They fit perfect, are very comfortable, have extra pockets. My last pair lasted 2 years with very heavy use before they got holes above the back pockets.

  • Finally, a pair of "tactical" jeans that fit right
Size: 40W x 32L Color: Dark Stonewash
I have been writing to various tactical apparel companies for years asking if they would venture into making jeans that were not only functional, but made of a material that was lighter than traditional jeans but maintained the durability of denim. The fact of the matter is, even so-called "low-profile" tactical pants are not as low-profile as manufacturers like to think. Just not that many people are walking around in coyote brown or smoke gray trousers, even if they don't have a dozen pockets all over the place. Normal people wear jeans, which is why I am glad these have finally made their way to the market. If you need to present a casual look but maintain a very minimal level of functionality, you cannot go wrong with these. The main problem was, all the "other" tactical jeans were "straight" or "classic" fit. So when I tried those on I looked like I raided my wifes skinny jeans from her closet. Not only is slim fit unprofessional looking, it really restricts movement and you can't fit anything in your pockets, unless you want to put your smartphone in your back pocket the way your teenage daughter does. For whatever reason, the makers of these tactical jeans just were not understanding that the average wearer of these is probably going to have larger thighs, hamstrings, and calves, disproportionate to their smaller waist size. So that brings me to the first part of the review where I will actually talk about these jeans. Vertx had the good sense to make these relaxed fit, not straight fit or classic fit or your wife's jeggings fit. Now I will say they could still be just a tad bit looser in the upper leg, as I went up a size from my normal relaxed fit jeans and although I am swimming in the waist of the jeans, they fit properly around my upper legs without being overly tight or baggy. I can put something in my front pockets and its not printing through my pants like I'm wearing spandex. The leg opening is a good width, again I prefer a little bit wider leg opening at the cuff, but these still do not look like the "other" jeans out there where the leg is the same width all the way to the cuff and just looks silly. So although I would prefer these to be just a little more relaxed than they are, no other jeans out there can compare. So I recommend going one size up. (For reference, I'm 6' tall 220lbs.) I am a fan of the material, these jeans appear durable but have some slight stretch to them, all without feeling too soft and flimsy or like traditional denim that is heavy and takes a day and half to dry when wet. I've only worn them a couple times so far out and about, so I can't speak to how much punishment they'll actually take. However they seem well made. The colors are a bit of an interesting choice. You can choose from dark wash or dark stonewash. I got one of each and honestly they look pretty similar to me. If anyone from Vertx ever reads this, PLEASE make a light (read: very light) wash version of these! This is a trend I noticed with all the other tactical jeans out there: for some reason dark wash is the only color available. Even in regular jeans I have no idea why light wash is so hard to find. The price is maybe a little high for these, but they are worth it and I would buy them again (especially if Vertx tweaked them the way I mentioned). In summary: -These are the closest to a true "relaxed fit" you are going to find in a tactical jean--I went a size up and I'm glad I did (wish they were just a little looser in the leg!). If you tend to skip leg day, you could probably go with your regular waist size. -The leg opening is wide enough that you can wear it with high top boots and not look like a dweeb (again, not asking for bootcut width but a little wider on the leg opening would be perfect!) -Pockets are placed well and offer good functionality, while maintaining a low visual profile -Limited color selection is limited (make a light wash version!) -Price is on the high side of fair, so I'll slowly replace my old jeans with these over time ... show more

  • Defiance Jeans = Delta 2.1
Size: 34W x 36L Color: Dark Stonewash
Over the years I have removed all jeans from my life after wearing the Delta 2.1 as they are by far the most comfortable pair of pants I have found and have pockets in all the right places. Figured I would give the Defiance jeans a run and boy am I glad I did. They are a tighter fit in the mid/lower legs but I am slender (6’3” at only 180lbs, purchased 34x36) so it’s perfect. If you have a stockier build these might be like jeggings (Jean leggings) for you. I bought 3 pairs and once trying them on I am certain I will be back soon to stock up on a couple more pairs to have on reserve to protect from inflation or discontinuation in the future. Thank you for always impressing me with everything of yours I have tried Vertx, I’m a fan for life! ... show more

  • Skinny legs lol
Size: 40W x 30L Color: Dark Stonewash
Great denim blue jeans, tough but comfy. They breath very well so the "boys" don't get hot. The only issue is the legs, these are skinny jeans in the legs or I have huge calves which could be the case. All in all I love them

  • Buyer beware...
Size: 32W x 32L Color: Dark Stonewash
Heed the warnings of those giving negative reviews due to quality and durability. I tend to take many bad reviews with a grain of salt. I did so in the case of these jeans, figuring quality issues may have been rare instances or a bad batch, and because I really wanted to like them. I do like them. They are very comfortable. The fit is good, even if a little short. But the quality issues are real... I've owned them less than a month now and haven't machine washed them at all. With fairly moderate use the rear pocket rivets developed tears above them which are now becoming holes, as some reviewers have already mentioned or provided photos of. The hip pocket seem has just about blown out where I park my folding knife, and I'm not clumsy when deploying or storing it there. I'm surprised at how quickly it deteriorated. If it means anything to the reader, I still wear them, dispite them falling apart. They're comfortable and convenient enough that I don't want to retire them yet. I admit that's partly because its a tough thing to do less than a month from purchase. But they are good wearing pants. Just not hard-wearing pants. For the money I hadn't expected any miracles here, but less than a month of wear before coming apart really is unacceptable. So, buyer beware. Hope that helps... ... show more
