I bought some on clearance from Galls that were EMS 511's in Navy they were very comfortable but faded fast too fast. I guess this is why they were on clearance. I recently purchased the lightweight 511's and their not fading as the others did.
The original pants that the FBI wore were called Royal Robbins, this is what the FBI helped in designing 15 years ago. I know because I wore them while I worked there. I still have my old Royal Robbins and still wear them in my new job.

Just a little update for those who care, The pants are still comfortable and the stitches are still holding together. The only thing is the color has faded, not real bad but but faded. anyway just an update.

I have several pairs of these that I wore daily oversea's. I did 3 consecutive years in Afghanistan and only had to replace them once. I think that was about the 2 year mark. They are very comfy and hold up well in extreme situations. Definitely worth the money!

I have had 2 pair of the pants and 2 shorts now for about 3 years. All have held up well and I am hard on clothing. I have had one par of pants come apart in the stitching on one of the legs. That was rather lame in ,y opinion. However, I have been happy with this brand for the most part. I do not think they are made as well as my BDUs and ACUs from the Army, but not bad overall. I had never seen these worne for work until i went to apply with the Hariss County Sheriff's Department. About 75% of the recruiters had them on.

Until earlier this year I worked for the DoD as a Systems Engineer. While in theater I supported most the tactical comunication systems (satcom and network stuff). I came back to the States in Dec of '07 and started training our Soldiers on the new stuff that was coming out. It was a very rewarding job, but all the travel was really taking it's toll here at home so I put in my notice and started my own firearm business. It's quite a change, but so far I'm happy with the decision. The only thing I really miss is working with our troops on a daily basis, knowing that I'm helping them do their jobs better.

Let your buddy know that there are lots of people here praying for him and that we appreciate what he's doing!
