Budget Grey Man Tactical Pants?

I'm still very pleased with the Riggs by Wrangler... no blown seams or tears so far :).

Any updates? I've just ordered a pair after the crotch ripped out of my duluth pants today (@ less than 8 months old)

I figure at 1/4the price if I get over a couple months of wear I'll be willing to buy them again, if not I think I'll try the tru-spec next.
I am very happy with these pants. I don't think they scream tactical, but I still wouldn't consider them "grey man". They have held up very well and I haven't had any tears so far. I was very surprised at how light they were. I guess I am just so used to wearing jeans. I would say they are worth the price, but they still aren't exactly what I'm looking for. I would probably like the 5.11 Defenders better, but for right now I think I will stick with the pants I have. Looking back now, I probably should have bought the LAPG Urban Recon pants. They have smaller cargo pockets and the material is similar to Carhartt but a little thinner. Hope this helps!
 
I prefer dickies in the winter but bought a bunch of LAPG pants on someone elses recommendation for the summer. Decent pants but make sure you order them a size or two bigger than what you need. They are different sizes even within the same size pants is the only thing I don't like about them.

I've been wearing the 511 defender flex jeans for a while and they fit well and the mag pockets work well.
