Did you just pick them up off the floor for those pictures?! If that's what they truely look like, yuck. I too am not a fan of not using a steam iron but those wrinkles...!!!

Sorry about the wrinkles in the shot - they actually get less wrinkled as the day goes by - go figure (I "modeled" them after taking the detailed shots - that picture is the worst the wrinkles have ever been for me...).

Yeah, I love my Surefire (mine is the 6P) one of those things that you never knew you needed until you have it.

There are no specific ladies' sizes listed, but you could go try some on, you never know...

but here are my further comments:

There seem to be two versions of the Mobile Pant available. The above address has more info. If it doesn't work, go to visorcentral.com and look at the discussion for the Mobile Pant review there. In short, I have the "single vault pocket, dual seam pocket" version for all threee pants that I own.

I like my pants alot. I don't ususally get to wear them at work because of the very casula dress here, and lab work will destroy pants. I place my Visor in the left seam pocket, my 8290 in the right seam, flashlights in the left, and pocketknives and keys in the right. I use the vault pocket for stuff that I don't need to access right away, but the contents vary; usually, it's a pocketknife that I don't want scratched by other items. Mone are never as wrinkled as the one in the images. I don't iron them; I just fold them after taking them out of the dryer.

Mike: your pocket contents are very similar to mine. I also carry at least a Surefire E1 with me. I like the E2 so much that I end up carrying that one instead most of the time. The 6P was my first Surefire; I now have 5 if you include the P111 light. Have you seen the Arc-AAA? It's an LED light that uses AAA batteries and has a processor so that the light output stays constant. There's a SE version that's hard (type 3) anodized. Given the short battery life of Surefires, an LED light is handy. I don't carry a multitool, but I do carry at least 2 Spydercos. Believe it or not, I sometimes use a cell phone case on my Mobile Pant so free up the right side seam pocket for the E2 and a knife.

2. under "cons" you left out a negative that you discussed in the article: seam zipper is hard to close; vault zippers are hard to open

I have developed a technique to zip the seam pockets one-handed. I grip the zipper pull with my thumb and index fingers, simultaneously I hold the pants material down with the tips of my middle and ring fingers. I then pull the zipper up in steps as a reposition my fingers to produce tension for the zipper.

Hope that helps a bit with those frustrated with the presence of zippers. It's definitely better than buttons or snaps, IMHO.

I am jealous of you recode owners - guess its time for a new wardrobe (LOL).

It's also nice to hear that I am not the only "undercover" gadget geek out there.

I think which ever pair I have, they're not the right ones.

Tom,

The 5000 was the very first Palm, then called Pilot, it came in 2 versions: the 1000 and the 5000 with 128 and 512K of RAM if memory serves right.

Unfortunately Kohl's doesn't seem to have the Dockers mobile on their website anymore.

Do you know if JCPenny sells internationally? I didn't see anything about this on their site.

I also have the cotton canvas, a tan and a black. These have only one seam pocket and a double front pocket.
