First Tactical Men's V2 Tactical Pants, Standard Sizes
Agile, equipped, and purpose-driven, the V2 Tactical Pant is precision-engineered for speed and carry efficiency. With lightweight micro-ripstop, a 360° stretch waistband, and streamlined pocket architecture, it keeps you mobile, stable, and ready to respond.
The V2 Tactical Pant is engineered for those who move fast, carry smart, and demand gear that keeps pace under pressure. Every element of the pant is purpose-built, field-informed, and precision-calibrated to deliver maximum performance with zero excess.
Constructed with our proprietary double-dye micro-ripstop fabric, the V2 balances rugged durability with lightweight mobility. A two-way mechanical stretch chassis supports unrestricted lateral motion, while the 360° stretch waistband flexes naturally with the body, maintaining gear stability without restricting movement.
The cargo pocket system is refined for high-function carry: recessed, flat-faced, and bottom-gusseted for low-profile expansion. Internal AR mag-sized divider slots, integrated lanyard loops, and a structured, tuckable flap keep tools secure and accessible. Paired with front-facing utility pockets and an embedded knife clip garage, your loadout stays tight, quiet, and ready at a moment’s notice.
From the octagonal knee pad pockets to the Cordura®-reinforced hand pockets, every design choice is deliberate. The pant’s architecture is shaped by rear-set articulation, a 24" knee-to-knee running gusset, and boarded edge construction—supporting movement, reinforcing structure, and ensuring the pant holds form even under operational stress.
The V2 doesn’t chase trends or mimic the industry. It sets a new standard for what tactical pants should be: agile, equipped, and better prepared to respond.
Knife Clip Garage
A dedicated channel that houses your knife or tool clip flush inside the pocket—keeping it secure, snag-free, and always within reach.
- Prevents clips from snagging on seatbelts, door frames, or gear
- Preserves pocket integrity and professional appearance
- Retains knife tension and prevents bent or broken clips
- Maintains fast, reliable access to your tool
Cargo Pocket System
The V2 pant utilizes a recessed, welt-style cargo pocket applied internally to the garment for a clean integration. The pocket includes a bottom gusset (bellow) that allows the compartment to expand when loaded, without relying on a center pleat—intentionally designed to reduce snags during movement. A mitered-edge flap (~2.5 in. wide) with dual hook and loop closures secures the pocket, and can also be tucked to create a dump pouch configuration.
Internally, the pocket includes:
- 2 AR mag-sized divider slots
- Unobstructed drop space for other gear
Octagonal Knee Pad Pocket
Engineered for dependable stability, this internal-access system uses a precision-shaped octagonal pocket that interlocks with First Tactical knee pads so they move with you, not against you. Designed for motion and clean lines, whether pads are in or out.
- Pads stay centered during dynamic movement
- No shifting, rolling, or distraction
- Maintains a sharp, professional fit
- Easy insert and removal from inside
Triple-Lock Fly System
A YKK semi-auto locking zipper with oversized pull resists unintended movement and stays securely closed unless actively pulled. Paired with a Prym snap for clean closure and durability, and backed up with a melamine button fly that’s crush-proof and melt-proof.
- Delivers triple-layer reliability with locking, snapping, and button-backup redundancy.
- Keep the fly secure under load, motion, or pressure.
- Ensures smooth, glove-compatible access.
Micro-Ripstop
A finer, tighter weave delivers improved tear resistance compared to traditional ripstop fabrics—without the coarse texture or bulk. Micro-ripstop elevates durability and comfort while maintaining a clean, professional look. By shrinking the grid and tightening the weave, we created a fabric that still resists tears—but does so with less weight, less visual noise, and greater comfort. You won’t see the reinforcement. You’ll feel the difference every time you move. Think of it like rebar in concrete. Micro-ripstop packs more structural support into a smaller footprint, making the material stronger per ounce.
- Tear containment at the fiber level
- Smooth surface feel, less abrasion
- Lightweight with increase strength
- Professional appearance—no visible grid
Knee-to-Knee Running Gusset
An extended, single-panel gusset engineered to run continuously from the inside of one knee to the other—an upgrade to the traditional diamond insert. This construction shifts critical seam junctions away from high-mobility stress points (inner thigh, seat, and groin), redistributes tension across a broader surface area, and maintains structural integrity under dynamic loads.
- Eliminates blowouts in one of the most common failure points
- Reduces bulk and seam friction in the inner thigh and crotch
- Maximizes articulation without requiring overly baggy fits
