First Tactical / MODEL NOTES
The men's V2 BDU listing explicitly describes double ripstop and a water- and stain-resistant treatment. It is a separate named choice from the V2 Tactical 114011 listings, even though both belong to First Tactical's V2 range. The listed examples are Midnight Navy in 34-inch waist combinations.

Consider this version when a BDU-style choice is part of your shortlist and examine its actual pocket layout beside the standard V2. Check whether the 30- or 32-inch inseam corresponds to the way you wear boots. Water-resistant wording can help frame questions about light exposure, but should not replace a dedicated rainwear decision.
The title's treatment claim is not a waterproof rating or a promise of permanent stain resistance. Pad inclusion and fabric percentages remain unconfirmed.
