The Condor Odyssey Pants Gen III are a straight-fit tactical pant built from a 63% polyester / 34% cotton / 3% spandex ripstop shell with 4-way stretch nylon panels (93% nylon, 7% spandex) at the knees and other high-flex zones. A PFAS-free DWR finish delivers water-repellent, stain-resistant performance without the chemical footprint of legacy fluorinated coatings. Available in waist sizes 30–40 and inseam lengths 30–34, in Olive Drab, Black, Navy, Charcoal, and Flat Dark Earth.

Who this is for

• Law enforcement and security professionals who need a duty pant that moves with the body, holds gear securely, and maintains a clean profile in uniform environments.
• Range shooters and outdoor enthusiasts who want articulated-knee mobility, knee pad compatibility, and cargo access without a bulky silhouette.
• Everyday tactical users who need a durable pant that transitions from field conditions to casual wear without telegraphing a purely military aesthetic.

Construction and materials

The main shell combines 63% polyester, 34% cotton, and 3% spandex in a ripstop weave. Ripstop construction limits tear propagation — a small cut or snag does not continue to grow under stress. Strategic 4-way stretch panels (93% nylon, 7% spandex) are placed at the knees and flex zones to allow a full range of motion without pulling the main fabric. The articulated knee cut pre-bends the pant leg at the natural knee angle, reducing fatigue and fabric tension during kneeling, climbing, or dynamic movement.

The PFAS-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish sheds light rain and resists staining without relying on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. This matters for users who wash their gear frequently — conventional PFAS-based DWR degrades and off-gasses with repeated washing, while PFAS-free formulations avoid those concerns entirely.

Pockets and organization

The Gen III redesign moves the cargo pockets to an inlaid position, creating a slimmer thigh profile compared to the traditional bellowed-patch cargo pocket. Zipper closures on the cargo pockets keep contents secure during dynamic activity. Two additional gadget pockets and one coin pocket round out the organization layout. Belt loops accept belts up to 2 inches wide — compatible with standard duty belts and rigger belts commonly worn with plate carriers.

Knee pad compatibility

Built-in knee pad pockets accept the Condor Knee Pad Pro Inserts (model 221130) and Condor Knee Pad Inserts (model 221253), sold separately. The pockets position the pads accurately at the knee without requiring external straps or sleeves, keeping the outer profile clean. The gusseted crotch and elastic waistband further support unrestricted movement when kneeling or transitioning between positions.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

What accessories work with the Odyssey Gen III?

The built-in knee pad pockets accept the Condor Knee Pad Pro Inserts (221130) and Condor Knee Pad Inserts (221253). Both are sold separately. No other accessories are required — the pants function as a standalone garment and work with any standard duty belt up to 2 inches wide.

How do these fit? Should I size up?

The Odyssey Gen III uses a straight fit with a regular waist. The elastic waistband and gusseted crotch add functional ease, and multiple customer reviews confirm they run true to size. If you carry a sidearm, wear plate carrier cummerbunds, or have a heavier athletic build, sizing true to your measured waist generally works. Contact us if you need guidance before ordering.

Are the cargo pockets big enough for a phone or radio?

Yes. The inlaid cargo pockets are sized for standard-use items like phones, radios, and small tools. The zipper closure keeps contents in place during kneeling, rappelling, and other active movements. The two gadget pockets add dedicated smaller-item storage alongside the main cargo compartments.

Will the DWR finish hold up after repeated washing?

The PFAS-free DWR finish maintains water-repellent and stain-resistant performance through normal wash cycles. PFAS-free formulations avoid the degradation pattern associated with legacy fluorinated coatings. Following standard garment care instructions (cool wash, tumble dry low) helps preserve the finish over time.

Do the knee pad pockets work with third-party knee pads?

The pockets are sized and certified to fit Condor's own Knee Pad Pro Inserts (221130) and Knee Pad Inserts (221253). Fit with third-party pads depends on pad dimensions — contact us if you want to confirm compatibility with a specific insert before purchasing.

Is there a color available for uniform or agency requirements?

Yes. The Odyssey Gen III is available in Black and Navy, both of which are common in law enforcement and security uniform programs. Olive Drab, Charcoal, and Flat Dark Earth are also available for field, outdoor, and plain-clothes applications.
