      Description

      Issued French Raid Pants

      These are general-issue tactical pants from France's Gendarmerie Nationale, one of the country's oldest institutions, tracing back to the Maréchaussée and formally renamed Gendarmerie Nationale in 1791.

      Unlike the Police Nationale, which handles France's cities, the Gendarmerie is a military force responsible for policing roughly 95% of French territory: rural areas, small towns, highways, and military installations. Pants built to this pattern are worn across the Gendarmerie's day-to-day intervention and surveillance duties, not just its highest-profile assignments, which is exactly why they were built for practicality over anything flashy.

      Construction includes four zip pockets (two on the waist, two cargo), a zip-up fly, and a snap-cap closure waist. The cuffs are elasticated with a snap-cap and zipper for a secure fit over boots, and velcro waist adjustment tabs let you fine-tune the fit on the fly.

      They're a solid pick for anyone assembling a French tactical or gendarmerie-style kit, and functional enough as an everyday pant for anyone who wants a secure, no-slip fit over boots without sacrificing pocket space.

      The Short & Sweet:

      • Genuine issued French Gendarmerie Nationale tactical pants
      • Gendarmerie Nationale dates to 1791, one of France's oldest institutions
      • Four zip pockets: two waist, two cargo
      • Zip fly, snap-cap waist closure
      • Elasticated cuffs with snap-cap and zipper for a secure fit over boots
      • Velcro waist adjustment tabs

      Model is wearing a 32/Regular and is 5' 11" 165 pounds.

      Extra Short fits inseam lengths between 22-24.

      Short fits inseam lengths between 26-28.

      Regular fits inseam lengths between 30-32.

      Long fits inseam lengths between 34-36.

      Wore these in Paris

      I wore these on my recent trip to Europe and felt right at home among the Parisians practicing their second favourite pastime, rioting. (#1 is obviously surrender)

      Good Sturdy Pair of Work Pants

      Perfect for work/outdoor activities. Large & versatile pockets, sturdy material. Will be great for winter time in the wood shop. I normally wear a 32-34 depending on brand, I ordered these in 34. They're a bit tight for a 34 but they fit me very well.

      Blainplain est gay

      That’s what was written on a note that I found inside one of the pockets - along with another French to English translation that insinuated that ole Blainplain liked ‘em big, too. If you know what I mean! 5 stars ⭐️

      Different from the pictures

      For whatever reason mine only had the snap loop on the back, a single loop only. It also doesn't have the velcro straps on the waist that the non snap loop version had. Slightly disappointing since I didn't fit the 32 I ordered the next size up which only existed in the snap loop version which now doesn't fit because it doesn't have the velcro straps.

      The quality is pretty poor as well, the seat had a hole in it and was repaired at some point but the rest of it is pretty threadbare and will also require repairs

      Your new favorite pair of pants

      These are some of the best work pants I've ever owned. The bottom cuffs have some heavy duty elastic stretch to them so they'll fit securely over a boot but then the rest of the leg is moderately baggy so it's breathable in the summer and roomy enough for some thick long johns in the winter. Both leg pockets have a second internal pocket which is great for keeping tools separate, the right leg also has a pen pocket next to the internal pocket. If you like chunky zippers and snappy buttons and pockets in your pockets, then you're going to love these pants.

      Resisting the urge to buy a third pair

      These are solid and fit well. I've been wearing scrubs for too long and couldn't go back to jeans. These are a good middle ground. I'm normally a 28/32 and a 30 regular fits like a dream, sits higher on the hip but I prefer them that way. They're not too hot in summer but comfortable when it's chilly and the ankle zips/snaps are a bonus. I think I look snazzy in these.

      Great pair of pants if I want to look like a security guard.

      Pants look great but are tight on waist measurement

      Pants look great but are definitely sized exactly to the waist, be sure to size up if you like a little more room or have larger legs

      They are a bit smaller than the 34W it says it is

      They are a bit smaller than the 34W it says it is. Other than that, great pants.

      More nice than work issue.

      They're soft on the skin, but strong on the job. Only got one pair to try out. Will definitely order more if they come available.

      Similar to the KAZ 03 Bundesheer pants, these are lightweight, comfy, look nice, and most importantly, have plenty of pockets.

      They were a little tighter around the waist than anticipated (normally wear a 32, ordered 32) but nothing to the point of not being able to wear or looking like I’m wearing pants that are too small. Consider going a bit up when ordering.

      Great material, Slightly Tight

      Overall amazing pants, really sturdy quality with everything still attached. I ordered a 36W because that's what I wear to give myself extra comfort. Maybe the French measure the waist different? It's a tight 36W but the length is good at least!

      These will work great as my yard work and hiking pants

      Solid pants and based on the measurements they fit about the same as my normal everyday pants. These will likely become my yard work/hiking pants, as the material feels thick enough to take some abuse and the side pockets are great. The elastic cuffs at the bottom are also great for tucking into my boots so I can keep tics and other stuff from getting up there while clearing out brush in the woods.

      Ordered twice, dissatisfied twice.

      First time I ordered a 32w, received something closer to a 28w.
      Second time I ordered a 34w, fits more like a 32w. Second pair shows excessive wear (there is extensive patching on the knees) and not exactly as pictured (hip pockets do not have a zipper). Overall, they're not the worst pants I've ever bought and would be good for hiking or outdoor activity, but I probably wouldn't buy them for the listed cost again.

      Curious About Sizing?

      Given the massive variety of clothing we carry, a standard sizing guide is incredibly helpful for customers seeking the best fit.

      Please understand that surplus varies widely in fit and cut and this sizing chart is general advice rather than tailor-level fitting.

      Nearly every military has different sizing charts and schemes, which is why we've taken the time to put together this brief tutorial.

       

      Jacket & Shirt Sizing

      In absence of an established military size chart, we measure each jacket or shirt from armpit to armpit to get a rough idea of how it fits. If a garment is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a shirt measures 19.75" from pit to pit, it is marked as a small rather than medium.

      To measure pit to pit, close up your shirt or jacket and measure from armpit to armpit. 

      This is our measurement guide that we use to measure garments without an existing military size chart:

      14"-15" PtP = XXS

      16-17" PtP = Extra Small

      18"-19" PtP = Small

      20-21" PtP = Medium

      22-23" PtP = Large

      24-25" PtP = Extra Large

      26-27" PtP = XXL

      28-29" PtP = 3XL

      Pant Sizing

      We typically convert pants to US waist and inseam sizes. If a pair of pants is between sizes, we mark it one size down. For example, if a pair of pants measures as a 33 waist, it is marked as a 32 waist.

      To take these measurements we lay a pair of pants flat on the ground. We then measure across the waist and double the measurement. For example, if a pair of pants measures 16" across the waist it will fit a US 32 waist.

      To determine inseam we measure from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff. For example, it a pair of pants measures 30" from the crotch seam to the bottom of the cuff we will list it as a 30 inseam or 30L.

      Surplus Condition Guide
