Inside the unpadded waist there are three labels sewn-in: model label with logo, Designed in Poland and large care label. The only visible logo is a tiny tab on the left cargo pocket. Helikon-Tex SFU NEXT Mk2 are available in S-XXL sizes with additional Short/Regular/ Long lengths. Currently stocked colors are Coyote Brown, Shadow Grey and US M81 Woodland camouflage patterns. Hopefully, the number of colors will be increased. FIRST DATE Our team got four brand new factory- fresh SFU NEXT Mk2 for review in Shadow Gray and Woodland colors. Please expect a complete review soon. Now, some first impressions. SFU NEXT Mk2 looks like pretty durable and well designed tactical or field pants. The retail price is rather appealing and budget friendly. The cut seems to be good and the trimming of the legs was definitely a move to the right direction. Mk2's are not so baggy as the pants of tea clippers crews. Pockets arrangement is well thought out and the only thing we may miss are the internal organizer pockets. We will see how the plastic adjustment buckles in the waist work with duty belts, is there any chaffing or abrasion. Shadow Grey is a nice grey color similar to Wolf. Grey is new Black now, so this will definitely stick out of the tactical crowd. The M81 Woodland colors are slightly off when compared to USGI one, but still looks better than some commercial copies. Sizing is based on the most popular jeans but it seems that SFU NEXT Mk2 are "half-size down" from the usual one. Check before you buy. CLOTHING
