British PCS Cargo Pants, MTP, surplus

These are the new PCS (Personal Clothing System) trousers that were developed to replace Combat Soldier 95. Official British army surplus, would you look at that!

MTP (Multi Terrain Pattern) is a blend of DPM and Multicam. Nowadays they issue each soldier brand spanking new clothes, which means there will be a surplus of used stuff. As a service to mankind, the British army then puts them forth to the civilian market.

These are among the best combat pants you will ever see. If you are already familiar with the Soldier 95 trousers, the PCS pants are just like them but with a few improvements. Granted, they can't be improved much, but anyway.

Features

• Tightening cords on waist and pant ends.
• Zipper fly
• Two side pockets, two big cargo pockets, one back pocket
• All pockets are closed by button-fastening flaps. Buttons are covered so as to prevent snagging.
• All buttons are "Canadian style", which means there's a bit of webbing running through the button, making them extremely durable.
• Really large belt loops. You can wear a combat webbing belt with these, like Pattern 37 and 58 belts!
• Made of 70/30 (Warm Weather) or 33/67 (Temperate Weather) cotton/polyester. Wash at 50° C / 122° F.

The Warm Weather fabric is especially suited for hot weather and has an anti-insect treatment applied. The Temperate Weather fabric is very lightweight and breathable as well. As the cut and feel of the pants are pretty much identical and no guarantees can be made for the anti-insect properties, we haven't separated these.

Some have mesh pockets, others have standard ones. We won't pick. At some point they altered the model just a bit, both are good for the purpose.

Sizing

Sizes are measured first at the inseam, followed by waist circumference.

Condition

Used, but in nice shape.
