after longer, everyday use, but their voice usually only echoes in a deep well without any answer. But Clawgear has a different approach. With their eyes wide open, they gather feedback from users from all over the world. Clawgear Defiant Flex Pants, that I have been intensively testing and using for several months, are an example of such a mutual cooperation. I have already highlighted many times that I am not the "military guy" who usually walks in the city in full gear, with a bug-out bag on their back. For me, clothes not only must satisfy my needs when it comes to the aspect of functionality, but they also must be well-cut and well-made, so that I could wear them without raising any tactical connotations. When I put on my Defiant Flex, I have the impression that the designers took low- profile aspects and simplicity of applied solutions seriously. The cut is perfect and allows for freedom of movement in any situation – but that was something I expected and I wasn't disappointed. All of that combines into lightweight and comfortable smart casual pants and that was the way I usually treated them. The side pockets are almost integrated so one will not notice them until there is a wallet or a smartphone inside - here, the designer cleverly added a pouch in the right cargo pocket. The pockets are easily accessible as there is no zipper, but only small, flaps with a tiny square piece of Velcro good enough to keep the flap in its place. The most "tactical" part of the pants is the waist, the inner part of which has been lined with a soft micro-fleece fabric that prevents chaffing and absorbs sweat. The number and arrangement of belt loops is optimal, which contributes to stability when we carry an IWB or an OWB holster – what is more, they are wide enough to be compatible with any belt, including rescue belts and other similar contraptions. If someone likes "gangsta style" and wants to wear the pants below hips, the answer is an easy one – yes, you can. CLOTHING
