Purchased these in October 2011 from the local field, a week or two before they close. Went to 2 tournaments in the off season, one in December and one in March. They were already ripping at the crotch and one of the knees' stitching is falling apart. I wish i would have waited to get the 2012's instead. One of the few pluses i found was that they do have good ventilation, but the good pretty much stops there.

Ive been playing tournament paintball for 10 years now and these are the best pants I have ever had. Im an aggressive front player and Ive went through many pairs of pants in the last 10 years, and these are by far the best quality I have ever had. They run a bit small. Everything on these pants is top quality! They are worth every penny!

Ive had several pair of empire pant over the years,most were good pants, but these were the worst pants ive ever worn. Empire failed to put any stretch material in the crotch area,which i cant understand why they did that. These pants feel like your playing in tight blue jeans they are very restrictive,freedom of movement is non existent.I would not recommend these pants

My 09 EMPIRES did work but they became my practice pants after i saw these. The padding is great. Their a very light yet pro set of pants. You will never be disappointed with any thing EMPIRE and they certainly didnt let me down again. MUST BUY
