PANTS Tilak MiG pants have a cut that is typical of such clothing – they are loose and allow to move freely and comfortably, as well as to wear additional layers of clothing. The wide waist is elastic and fastened in front with two Stocko snaps. On the waist, there are seven belt loops that allow you to fit a belt, including the rigger belts. The fly has a one-way zipper. Tilak MiG pants have four pockets in total: @ two standard, slash pockets on the hips, with a internal pouch-like design – on the one side, they are made of soft-shell material, while on the inside from an elastic mesh. @ two large side cargo pockets, with three tucks, fastened with short Velcro straps. The top of the pocket is slightly longer and, when fas- tened, it bends towards the inside, so that the items carried in the pocket will not fall out dur- ing excessive movement. At the anatomically profiled knee there have been placed reinforcements in form of patches of mate- rial with Kevlar fibres that may serve as pockets for additional foam knee pads. In the lower part, there is a fragment of a Velcro strap that gives access to the pocket. Additional reinforcements, made of the same material, can be found on the seat and the lower part of the turn-ups. The lower part of the leg ends with a long zipper to make it easier to take off high boots. The zip- pers have a flap fastened with a snap and an elastic drawstring that allow adjusting the way the pants fit to the boots. There is an elastic cord that goes under the boot, in order to prevent snow or sand from getting under the pants. The short zippers placed in the upper part of the pants is a peculiar solution. They are just behind the hip pockets, covered with flaps that, at the same time, are used to adjust the girth of the pants (to some extent). Those zippers serve two roles – they allow ventilation and allow to unfasten the back part of the pants, when we have been suddenly and unexpectedly attacked by the inner enemy, when we are forced to "build a log cabin". Obviously, you are not able then to wear a belt that was attached through the belt loops. All the zippers in the pans are reversed and their mechanisms end with tapes, so that it is easier to grab them with a gloved hand. Moreover, pants have included elastic adjustable four-point suspenders. CLOTHING
