Do you want an EMS pant or just regular pants? I got the BDU EMS pant from galls, like them a lot...

Go with Galls. They have everything...& good quality stuff too.

Are you an EMT or a student... if you are looking for something easy and appropriate for ride-time.

Go to Wal-Mart, or K-Mart, or some other "discount" store. Buy a pair of ****ies pants. They are relativly cheap and sturdy... they are what I've always worn for places that say "we don't want BDU's" - you can even get the ones with the "cell phone pocket" on the leg... it works great for a couple of pairs of gloves. Of course, I don't like advertising, so I take a seam ripper and remove the outside logo labels from the pants.

As for boots... K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc. have what I've been told are "ok" knock-offs of some of the police tactical boots... I can't say for sure, because they don't stock in my size... but I've had partners say they are good for cheap/spare boots.

I agree with Jon. If you are just doing it occasionally, then the cheapest is probably just right for you. Personally, I don't like Gall's, they are about three times to high for the quality you get. It is a whackers paradise and we can always tell newbies from experienced medics... just look at their Gall's apparel.

I purchased a pair of tactical style boots from Wal-Mart just before flight academy and wore them for three years so $$$ is not that important as long as they comfortable and durable.

Most EMS services will tell you or have a uniform allowance to purchase the type of uniform they want you to wear. The same as some most schools will require certain types of uniforms.

Thats what annoys me. I need to spend more money on expensive boots because Wal Mart never has size 9.

Size 9? Try finding a size 16 or 17!

Size 9? Try finding a size 16 or 17!

16 or 17 won't help me.

I know the feeling Jon, though my feet aren't that big, finding a 14 wide is pretty tough...
