Czech M85 Trouser Liner
This is the quilted insulating liner from the Czech Army's M85 uniform system. It buttons inside the M85 outer field trousers and adds a warm layer for cold-weather and winter use. When temperatures rise, it comes out again, so one pair of trousers covers more than one season. It suits Czech surplus collectors, reenactors building a complete M85 kit, and anyone who wants a light insulating layer under their field pants.
Features
- Czech Army Issue — Originally issued to Czech forces as part of the M85 uniform, not made for the commercial market.
- Quilted Insulation — Padding is stitched into a wavy quilt pattern that keeps the fill spread evenly through the legs instead of slumping to the cuffs.
- Nylon Shell — A smooth, lightweight shell slides easily inside outer trousers and does not snag on the fabric around it.
- Button Attachment Points — Buttons along the waistband fasten the liner to compatible M85 trousers so it stays in place when you move.
- Drawstring Waistband — A cloth waistband with a tie cord lets you snug the fit around your waist.
- Button Front Opening — The front opening closes with buttons, matching the fly of the outer trousers.
- Rib-Knit Ankle Cuffs — Stretchy knitted cuffs close around the ankles to hold in warmth and keep the liner legs from riding up.
- Removable Layer — The liner is designed to go in and out as conditions change, without any extra tools or hardware.
Original M85 Specification
The M85 liner was built to be worn under the matching M85 outer trousers, and that pairing is where it works best. The quilted body, buttoned waist and knitted cuffs are the original issued design, and some liners carry stamped markings on the front panel. Because it is genuine Czech military stock, it is the correct piece for a period-accurate M85 uniform rather than a stand-in.

Such a good deal I bought 3 more pairsI already left a review. Nothing to add except that they are working out better than I expected. Cheap, warm, and very comfortable. Remember to buy the inexpensive Czech suspenders. They work well with these.

Good Value, A Bit Quirky as PantsFirst, the 4 or 5 reviews directly preceding me seem to refer to something else. These do not have pockets or a zipper. They have buttons on the sides and back and a drawstring tie and one bottom in the front. The button and tie are sufficient to pull the front closed if using as pants (e.g. sweats or pajamas, but ideally one will need to add a button to the very top, or a snap or velcro. The construction is vry good. Solid but soft, good quilting and not too much to make them awkward, but definitely enough to make them warm. They are comfortable with very solid elastic cuffs at the bottom. I have been experimenting with similar products from this retailer to use as warm pants for working around and inside the house. I heat with wood and it gets chilly, so I am always interested in clothing I can do light work or lounge around in. These do fit the bill though I will likely add a top front fastener. Almost forgot, the inexpensive Czech suspender straps they sell here work well to hold them up. It's not a perfect fit but good enough. I am 5'9" and 170 (have shrunk over the years) and bought the XL since I am sure the small wouldnlt work, and they are out of the other options. I have a 36 waist. The XLs fit but are a bit long. This doesn;'t mater or impede their function at all. I wouldn't be araid to wear them at a hunting cabin, though would probably catch some flak do to the semi open front - until I put some velcro in. The German wet weather pant liner might be a good alternative as a stand alone, but again, am perfectly happy with these and it's not like I can't improve them or use them as is. Am waring them now, as I write.
Cheap, good construction, comfortable, practical, and warm. Please note I gave them a 4 rating due to slight subotpimality as stand alone garment. That might be unfair because ithey'd rate a 5 if I had something to connect them to in terms as an outer shelll - which is what they are designed for.
Not designed as a stand alone garment so need suspenders and a minor fix to close up the front well.
