The L4 Field Pants were designed for pure functionality. Smart materials, a relaxed fit, and clever details make them what a pair of field pants should be, comfortable and utilitarian. These are a great alternative for the Finnish military-issue pants, which suffer from a load of compromises due to the fact that they were designed to double up as parade wear.
We have not sacrificed simple reliability for functionality, the L4 Field Pants are wear-resistant, easily cared for, and when need be also easily repaired. The materials are simple but functional. all buttons are Canadian-style slotted buttons and wear prone details such as hook-and-loop fasteners are designed to be easily replaced if needed. The L4 Field Uniform stands for simple functionality, the stuff that you learn to value when you’re out there for extended periods.
The relaxed fit and generously articulated knees offer unrestricted leg movement. The wide 40 mm / 1.6" elastic waist adjustment band (which by the way is completely removable) is wider and thus more comfortable than the commonly used 25 mm / 1" width. The relaxed fit also gives you room for warm underwear and mid-layers, an important detail especially for us up here in the North. The new material with elastane also contributes to a combat pants feel.
Besides the common slash side pockets the L4 Field Pants also have two large button-flap cargo pockets with hook an loop tabs. All buttons used are slotted "Canadian style" buttons, and pocket buttons have further been covered to prevent snagging.
The fourth layer of our clothing system could be regarded as "standard camouflage dress". L4 clothing offers protection against the outside world through camouflage and abrasion resistance. These garments are designed for minimal thermal load for effective layering.
