Fast-Tac Cargo Pants coyote

The Fast-Tac cargo pant in coyote is a lightweight, quick-drying cargo pant for warm days, travel, outdoor activities, and active work. Instead of heavy cotton canvas, 5.11 uses a thinner Fast-Tac® polyester ripstop. This reduces the material weight, improves drying time, and makes the pants comfortable when you are on the go or don't want to be stuck in heavy trousers in warmer temperatures. Nine pockets still provide clear organization. In coyote, you get the same construction as the other colors; the choice is therefore mainly a matter of environment and personal style.

What is the Fast-Tac cargo pant in coyote suitable for?

This model is particularly interesting if the following points fit your everyday life:

• Warm days, travel, and active work when low material weight is important
• Outdoor use and everyday life with classic cargo organization
• Users who prefer quick-drying polyester over heavy cotton canvas

Material, fit, and feel

5.11 uses Fast-Tac® ripstop made of 100% polyester, 4.7 oz/yd², with a water-resistant DWR finish for this model. The manufacturer describes the fit as a regular fit. It is important to distinguish between material stretch and cut: a mechanically flexible fiber helps with movement but does not replace a proper waist and thigh circumference. Therefore, measure where you actually wear the pants and use your inseam for the length. If you often wear an additional layer underneath, this should be taken into account when choosing the size.

Pockets and features explained

• 100% polyester ripstop absorbs relatively little moisture and dries faster than heavy cotton fabrics.
• Bellowed cargo pockets only expand significantly when you actually fill them.
• Nylon reinforcements on utility pockets protect the edges during frequent use.
• Articulated knees support movement when crouching and climbing.
• The gusseted construction reduces tension in the crotch during long strides.
• The self-adjusting waistband is practical when strain and posture change frequently throughout the day.

Brief explanation of terms

Fast-Tac®: a lightweight polyester ripstop by 5.11. It dries faster than heavy cotton canvas fabrics, making it well-suited for warm or highly active days.

Bellow: a fold of fabric on a pocket that allows for more volume when needed without the pocket permanently sticking out.

DWR: a water-resistant surface treatment. It helps with light moisture and dirt but is not a substitute for rain pants.

Selection guide: Which 5.11 pant fits better?

The Fast-Tac Cargo is a good choice if you are looking for lightweight, uncomplicated cargo pants. Compared to the Stryke, it is simpler in construction and lighter, but also offers fewer pronounced stretch and organizational features. The Taclite Pro is also lightweight, combines polyester with cotton, and has a more classic look. For a significantly more understated urban look, the Apex is more suitable.

Regardless of the model, check the waist width and inseam using the current 5.11 size chart before purchasing. Color and size designation alone do not indicate how loosely the pants fit on the hips and thighs. The feel also changes when pockets are heavily loaded – a sturdy belt can make a significant difference in comfort.
