It's always a delight to find modern, high-quality military clothes in solid colors. Here's a pair of beefy extreme cold weather pants in an unassuming gray color. Made in USA!
The ECWCS system should be familiar to anyone who knows a tiny bit about layered clothing and western military apparel. The "Trousers, Extreme Cold Weather" are Gen III and Level 7, designed to be worn over everything else. In such freezing weather, the air is dry so these maximize breathability by omitting the membrane. Note that these are not super-packable and lightweight loft pants but an actual outer garment with strong fabrics all over.
The pants have a 2-way zippered fly with a storm flap, webbing loops for suspenders, and cuff strap attachment points. The waist is elastic and the knees have articulated reinforcements.
Donning and doffing the pants is made very easy with side-zippers. The legs can be split completely open, connected at the top, and closed downwards. For momentary access to lower layers or just ventilation, the zipper can be opened from the top as well.
The real deal, made in the US. The condition is not very far from new: these have only seen light use.
