Description
This is a set of Fire Resistant Air Crew trousers that were used in the US Army. The pants follow the basic ACU style cut with improvements suited for pilots and aircrew. The cargo pockets are zippered, with one pocket zipper along the top edge and the other pocket having a zipper along the side. The ankle pockets are also zippered. There is a thigh pocket for aircrew things, I think a strap cutter. The waist is zip up and there are adjustment tabs for best fit along the belt as well. There are no back pockets! Overall this is a good set of protective pants for good general use.
Features:
- Flame Resistant – Will not catch fire when exposed to flames. It will burn but it will not drip or catch fire.
- 100% Aramid – Made of 100% Aramid, Flame Resistant, material.
- Universal Camouflage Pattern, UCP – Following in the steps of the USMC and its adoption of a digital camo, the US Army adopted the Universal Camo Pattern in 2004. The pattern was designed to function suitably in any environment. The overall intention of a camo capable of that is to remove the need to issue a camo pattern for each potential combat zone and environment, thus making the production and issuing of camo easy to troops. The camo was adopted and saw use in both Iraq and Afghanistan, where it would perform at best adequately. As a result of the camo not performing as good as intended the US Army began looking for a replacement. By 2011 the US Army would test in a variation of UCP, UCP-D, against Multicam in Afghanistan in the search for a replacement. By 2012 all US Army Soldiers deploying as combat troops to Afghanistan would be issued uniforms and gear in Multicam and UCP would be phased out of service in 2019 as a service camo. UCP would commonly come to be referred to as ACU, based of the adoption of the ACU pattern uniform that was adopted at the same time, much the same as the woodland camo came to be called BDU.
