Meant to be the wind-resistant layer you put on top of your cammies, the level 5 still boasts the features of a standalone layer that performs excellently in tons of climates. Featuring breathable microfiber, the pants arejustwarm enough for summer and fall use without the sweatiness of the typical nylon ripstop material most pants use.
Being made to go on top of your other gear, they feature side-zips prominently down most of the legs, interrupted by large zippered cargo pockets. they come with suspenders so you don't have to worry about moving your belt to your outermost layer, and both the waist and ankle cuffs are elastic for better insulation and fit.
Made to be mobile, you'll notice a looser fit than most pants. This is normal because the PCU is meant to be layered on top of other equipment. For added mobility, it even features articulating reinforced knee patches.
