Key Features

A brushed microfleece inside the bonded softshell adds warmth and durability for cold-weather duty.

A two-layer bonded softshell with four-way mechanical stretch that resists wind and water.

Handcuff key pockets inside the rear waist and hem plus a flexi-cuff tunnel for plain-clothes arrest work.

A stretch waistband with reinforced loops and a keystone back loop gives with a holster or loaded belt.

Ten pockets including zipped cargo pockets with internal storage and knife-reinforced hand pockets.

A durable water repellent finish sheds rain, sleet and road grime.

The 5.11 Apex Softshell Trousers are the winter and weather version of the Apex. They keep the same low-visibility features and smart pockets but build them in a two-layer bonded softshell with four-way mechanical stretch, rated 5K/2K waterproof breathable, with a durable water repellent finish on the outside and a microfleece backer inside for warmth and durability.

The comfort waistband carries reinforced belt loops, a keystone centre-back loop and a flexi-cuff tunnel, with a handcuff key pocket inside the rear waist and inside the hem. Ten pockets include hand pockets with knife-clip reinforcement, back utility drop pockets and low-profile zipped cargo pockets with internal storage, and articulated knees keep movement free in the cold.

Trousers Fit Guide

Sizing Instructions

How to Measure
Use your chest, neck, and arm length to find the right size for tops and outerwear. Use your waist measurement — where you actually wear your trousers — for bottoms and belts.

Neck
Measure around the base of your neck, where a collar would sit.

Chest
Measure under your arms and around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Arm Length
Slightly bend your elbow. Measure from the center back of your neck, over the top of your shoulder, and down to your wrist.

Pant Waist
Measure around your natural waistline — where your trousers actually sit, not necessarily your narrowest point.

Hip
Stand with your feet together and measure around the fullest part of your hips, keeping the tape parallel to the floor.

Inseam
Measure from the crotch straight down the inside of the leg to your ankle, or to your preferred trouser length.

Sizing instructions diagram
Measurements are approximate — for the best fit, compare against a similar garment you already own.
