For the third generation of these trousers, the main change is the addition of highly flexible and stretchy material below the waist line, around the knee pads and the in-seam. The reason for this is to reduce tearing and splits when operating in harsh environments or when you're wearing lots of kit like a belt system that would otherwise damage the waist line when you bend over. The other new addition is the included kneepads, the design of which has changed slightly to make them easier to install and they're now also made of rubber - this dramatically improves comfort from a kneeling stance, makes them more flexible and generally easier to use. On top of this more pockets have appeared and all the features we loved about the old trousers like the elasticated waist adjust and ankle fasteners are still present and correct.

Only been a handful of times, has a tiny hole in the rear stretch material as shown, otherwise still in great condition. Price includes postage.
