What's the difference between normal pants and tactical pants?

Heavier cotton cloth usually with more poly watsit added to the weave, re-enfored knees, bums,hems and cuffs, double or triple stitching, rip stop cloth, wider 50 mm belt loops sometimes, water resistant very often, non iron very often, designed so some pockets are concealled or still lay flat even when full of gear, sometimes with cordura added for strength, sometimes coated to not smell if unwashed for weeks, Canadian slotted buttons instead of cotton thread holes, blellows pockets with fold over tops. Specifically frequently the pockets are designed to carry spefic items of kit IE compass pocket, knife pocket, flashlight pocket, key hanger loop, double lined pistol pocket, magazine pocket etc. Most decent tactical gear will probably have government or NATO approved specifications and have been severely tested by elite units, upgrades suggested, retested then accepted for official issue.

IE tough clothing designed to do a heavy duty job far longer than civvy clothing will, in many cases for example the cotton thread is up to 5 times stronger than ordinary sewing thread, the cloth may be IR reflectiove or water resistant, it certainly will be treated against mildew etc
