Minime,

I don't think they are terribly "tactical" looking... I don't wear the black ones though, which are probably seen more that way. I used to always wear Dockers, but decided to try switching over and no one seems to have even noticed. I am the Radiation Safety Officer on campus though and am therefore on the Hazmat team, but I don't think that has much to do with it. Basically, we have a administrative order that we can't wear jeans, and the 5.11s look alot better than jeans do, with more pockets. I do wear work boots with them, as I occassionally have to walk through a flooded laboratory or scrounge through a scrap metal dumpster when people don't do what they are supposed to. The pants work really well with the boots. If Presumed has seen jeans in the office, I doubt they are going to raise eyebrows over kakhi cargo pants. But you never know...
