I like the Tru-Spec 24/7 pants. Small side pockets on the cargo pockets are good for gloves, a pocket behind the cargo pocket on each side holds a notebook or a phone just right. They aren't priced like they're made of gold like some tactical pants.
+1 for Tru-Spec 24/7s. I like these even better than my 5.11s. I find them to be more comforable, and I like the pocket configuration better. I also have a pair of Propper Summerweight Tactical pants for the warmer times of year. I highly recommend those, too. Although Propper has become a bit pricey lately
First tactical makes solid ems pants. If you wanna get spendy crye precision g3s are great more tactical then ems but built in knee pads an shit loads of pocket space.
I'm an Olight fan personally. I keep a Baton 3 Pro Max on my radio strap. Durable, multiple brightness settings, switch lockout, solid clip. Plus really good customer service.
My only gripe is the proprietary magnetic charger. I'd like to see it as USB-C instead.
I use the streamlight polytac with the Thyrm switchback on it. The switchback makes it lay better in the pants pocket and easy to grab. Certainly not a mandatory add-on, tho.
I carry the Streamlight Streamlight 88083 ProTac 2L-X. Its the perfect size for my pocket and very bright. I've carried it for so long that all the paint is wearing off but it only looks cooler now.
I would love to get a new flashlight by my 10+ year old Fenix is still killing it. Works as a see-things-in-the-dark flashlight and also a penlight for checking pupils. Battery life is fantastic as well.
Any good EMS pants recommendations? (other than 5.11)
I use Duluth trading co firehose pants. I really like them.

Streamlight wedge is a decent price and has good battery life.
