First Tactical / MODEL NOTES
First Tactical Men’s A2 Pants
The A2 listing supplies a First Tactical model code, 114038, and a Midnight Navy color. It does not describe the same model as V2 despite appearing in the same brand search. Keeping A2 separate gives shoppers a clearer way to compare actual models rather than interchangeable brand listings.

Where this model fits
Compare the listed 36-waist and 32-waist choices using their full size selectors. The 32-waist title also names a 34-inch inseam, which may be relevant when regular lengths are too short. Before choosing A2 over V2, look for documented differences in pocket arrangement, fabric and waistband rather than assuming the newer-looking name means an upgrade.
Tradeoffs to consider
A2 is a model name, not evidence of a performance advantage. The titles do not establish stretch direction, weight or a universal tall fit.
