PLASSKY REVIEW I have been using operator Combat Pants quite reg- ularly for almost four months now. that includes a week in bieszczady Mountains in June under all weather conditions, from hail (in June!) to heat that gives you good sweat. that also includes few visits to the shooting range, several thousand kilometers driv- en by car, drowning in the baltic Sea, driving a scooter, and usage as everyday wear. Pants are made of high-quality material that seems to be resistant to weather, abrasion, or washing. Mine, rAL 7013 solids, have also a feature that they look good as everyday wear. you may wear them not only with "ubertactical" shoes and a combat shirt, but also with regular civil snickers and a cool t-shirt. The first thing that positively surprised me was the cut. In is unusually easy to accurately adjust the pants to the body, so that you start appreciating all the small amenities and features placed in the pants, or even hidden (like, for example, the small pocket, or rather "a pouch" inside pants at height of the left front pocket). I really like the finishing of the inside of the waist with knit fabric that is pleasant to the touch. two large side pockets have been cut well, while the hidden pocket placed in the right pocket is perfect for a mobile phone or a wallet. Closing of the pockets also works well thanks to the opening direction of the quite large zipper. the storm flap of the side pocket is also cut asymmetrically. the front part uncovers the end- ing of the zipper, making it more accessible. What is more, there is also a small string loop that additionally makes it easier to fasten the zipper e.g. with gloves. the inserts on the inside part of cuffs, at height of an- kles, is a surprising element. they look like additional layers of material that enforce the critical points that rub each other when we wear high, heavy boots with shanks. Surprisingly, those are only fragments of ma- terial sewn in that place with tripled-seam that imitate an additional enforcing layer. As a whole, operator Combat Pants convince me as a practical choice in a situation in which I need some work to be done, starting from a photo session, end- ing in a tactical training. to be honest, I have, so far, found only one disadvantage concerning the method of adjusting knee pads. the cord led inside cuffs go through a sewn-in material channel in the front pock- et. the end of those cord comes out inside the pocket. that is the only quite irritating feature, since it simply annoys and very often makes it difficult to take out things that I carry in pockets. I've got rid of that cord recently... Problem solved. KROOLICK REVIEW those have been my second pants from CLAWGEAr– the first ones were Stalkers. Operator Pants are signifi- cantly (about 400g) lighter than Stalkers and you CLOTHING
