Time for a change
For most of the United States, we are moving towards warm weather. It’s time for us to think about our summer CCW and for those of us that were tactical apparel for work, time to switch to lightweight tactical pants. The military learned this the hard way in the Pacific Theatre during WWII. Wearing the wrong type of clothing in certain environments can mean freezing to death or unneccessary sweating. We don’t recommend wearing shorts in the winter for obvious reasons, but sometimes we still need to wear pants even though it’s pretty darn hot out.
A few weeks ago we had to clear out a field for work and even though we’re in the early season for poison ivy, it’s still sprouting in various places. It was in the upper 80’s that day, but we couldn’t wear shorts without risking contamination or even certain bug bites. The Eotac tactical pants in Style 203 are made in the exact same pocket pattern as the Style 202 and are similiar in design to the Woolrich Elite 4429 and 4441 pants. These have a gussetted crotch which gives the user more movement and durability. 100% cotton ripstop means half the weight of regular tactical pants and all of the same pocket designs that give it such usefullness.
