These women's tactical trousers are easy to use. First, adjust the At - Ease slide waistband to get a comfortable fit. You can use the cargo pockets to store small items and the cell phone/pistol mag pocket on the right side for your phone or magazine. When it comes to maintenance, they are machine - washable, so just throw them in the washing machine for a quick clean. As for precautions, avoid sharp objects that could tear the ripstop fabric. The Tactguard fabric protection helps resist stains, but it's still a good idea to clean spills as soon as possible.
