Love the pants

I really like the feel and build quality of the pants. I wish i would have ordered a size smaller but they are still a great piece of kit. They feel like PJs and I love the pocket placement.

Great soft shell pants

I bought a couple pairs of soft shell when they went on sale. They were incredibly comfortable and breathable. The pockets were mesh, which at first I thought would be annoying and snag, but I haven’t had any issue. The belt loops are big enough to accommodate larger belts, and there are sewn loops for suspenders inside the waist. The pocket layout is well thought out, and have useful dividers on the inside. The pockets lay flat enough to not be obnoxious, and are zip closure. Knee panels are reinforced, and the cuffs have a cinch cord. Overall the pants are comfortable, breathable, and seem rugged enough to stand up to hard use.

Excellent pants

Beyond is a new brand to me. Found them with the A9ts and now I have many articles of their clothing. The Rig backcountry pants are light yet durable. Breath extremely well and have good pocket layout. The fit is excellent but run a tad large. I sized one down and they fit like a dream. My only 2 minor gripes are the shock cord closure for the ankles is not strong and broke in the first few days of use on one side. Not a huge deal to me. The other thing is the mesh pockets. I'm normally not a fan of mesh pockets as I've found they don't normally last with things like keys and EDC tools. The mesh pockets do however help you dump heat rapidly by opening all the zippered pockets allowing really good airflow. No free lunch I guess. Overall they are a total win especially at the "outlet" price. Made in America tweave made pants for $100 feels like robbery so I bought 4 pairs and 2 of the ultra light models. Just buy them. 🇺🇸

Waist and length sizing is way bigger than claimed. Size down in both dimensions. Materials and build quality are top notch.

AWESOME PANTS

The Fit and Features are awesome and lend the pants to be super versatile! I do not have enough time in them to vouch for durability, but the material is used in other durable goods and seems high quality.

Comfortable Pant

The Rig Light Backcountry Pant fits true to size, breathable, and comfortable. I have worn it multiple times a week during work and the pants have felt lightweight and bearable during hot days.

I love it

So after trying it on the quality feels damn good. I’d say almost as good as the military issued frog top and bottom. I’m 5ft 9in,185ibs, and I had no problem with the sleeves being oversized. They are supposed to b a little baggy n tuff to break up your body outline ( but you know not like OD big). Very much worth the buy n feels good on your body.

Perfect pants for me.

Performed well during 40-50deg windy/rainy day. Weighted well, protected well, look forward to summer use. A word on sizing. Size 34 waist pants will fit a 34-35. Size up if you're a true 36"!

C
Chris

5' 10" 180 34REG fit like a glove. Just enough room in the legs, not too baggy. Leg openings flair to fit over boots. Ran these during a 45deg hike recently. Wind resistance and rain resistance was quite useful. Keeps you warm and dry while moving but less so while static. Build and material quality are amazing for how abrasion resistant they are. Overall very impressed.

Super Flexible Material

Fabric is light and stretchier than anticipated, makes it very comfortable. FYI a size 26 arrived as a size "L" and the waist was about a size smaller than 36" waist Levis 541s. Pockets in front and back are nice, haven't used cargo pockets yet. Cinches at hem are also very nice, and internal kneepad pouch is a nice touch. Like others have said, legs are looser down low than some other more fashion-centered pants. Not a big deal and allows airflow in warmer temps, which is a plus. Fabric feels breathable and likely to dry exceptionally quickly. Can't wait for temps to warm up to try these out more thoroughly.

Awesome Pants

Really enjoying these pants. Everything I could ask for in a winter/wind resistance pant. The space and comfort are second to none. Would buy these again and again these weren’t even issued to me.

Ultimate fabric

The rig light, a tweave durastretch fabric, is the ultimate fabric. It is different than the rig ULT, the rig, and an older Brokk pant tweave durastretch fabrics. Although I ordered a 36 Long, I received a Large Long. The large long fits me quite well (I’m 6’ 200lbs.). For my intended use of these pants, I could do without the knee pad inserts and the ankle gaiter. I feel the leg could be tapered below the knee for a slimmer, or less baggy, fit.

Runs Very Big

I ended up returning these pants due to them running extremely large. I have big legs and was still swimming in them. Other than that the materials and stitching are top notch. Most importantly, Beyond’s customer service is the best of any online retailer I’ve ever dealt with. All the other clothing I’ve purchased has been phenomenal!

Great pants

Did some range training in 19 degree weather with a 10 mph wind. Wore a set of mid-weight thermals with my Rig pants and Element shirt. I was perfectly comfortable all day and could still move effectively.

Love the pants

Fit and durability is great. The waist seem to ride a bit higher which is really nice for active use, especially backpacking.

A5 Rig Light Pants

These pants are amazing. Super comfortable and great ROM. Didn’t even realize these had accommodations for knee pads when I bought them which makes them even better for range duty.

Good design and quality, fit is a little baggy

The pant performs well. The material seems very durable (survived catching on thorns in the bush without punctures and rubbing against boulders). The pocket design is well and I would only add a coin/knife pocket to the main pocket on each side. The fit is good around the waist and inseam but the fit is extra baggy on the posterior (I am 6'1 and 190 lbs and purchased a 34R or Medium).

Best pants

I own many pants from high end companies. The durability, comfort, and pocket placement of these pants are second to none. I have used them even in the snow with baselayers and the DWR works great.
These pants will probably last years of hard wearing given my first impressions.

I wish I had picked up more when they were on sale. Seeing the quality I’m saving up to grab some regular price in grey.

Moves right

Great articulation in the knees, pocket location and depth works very well and enough movement in the crotch for relaxed hiking and shooting movement.

This is my first pair of pants from Beyond and they made a great first impression.

Top quality

Personally I think a lot of time went into the design of the A5 light BC pants , like the A5 light rig shorts I have from beyond clothing the quality speaks for its self just amazing well worth every penny 😊
