NEXT MK2 RABBIT Definitely. If you are looking for versatile and bud- get friendly tactical pants for all round use, the new gen of SFU is good bang for a buck. I have to admit that I wasn't sure what to expect, because the previous generations of SFU never thrilled me. I didn't like the cut and the quality ten years ago was completely different from the current one. I gave it a try and ordered the SFU NEXT Mk2 in Shadow Grey as I already have too much camo or tan or sand pants. After unboxing I was quite shocked and wa- sn't sure if they sent me the right pants. But these were tagged as SFU NEXT Mk2. WAY different from the old gen so you even can't compare them. These were not an upgrade or modification but built from the scratch. New cut together with stretch fabric makes the SFU NEXT Mk2 fit well and comfortable. No excessive fabric, no re- strictions and no chaffing of whatsoever. Add the anatomic cut is the one I like: not too baggy and not too slim. They have bot- tom hem adjustment strings but they could be easily ditched since the hem is not super-wide. Thumbs up for the pockets. There are plenty of them and they are conveniently placed. I use them for every day carry and low-profile range shooting. What I really like is the fact that they ditched the big cargo pockets and replaced them with the brand new pockets which are far more flat and less baggy pockets which are still spacious. The new flap is gre- at. There are open-top "magazine pockets' on the front of thighs but I use them for my phone. My iPhone 11 in UAG case fits inside but it protrudes a bit over the edge. Other than that pockets are good to go. There are two things I don't like. First are the "extended" belt loops with a loop for dummy cord. In the previous gene- ration there were D-rings for cord. I just don't like them. The CLOTHING
