Italian Army Goretex Pants

Italian Gore-Tex Pants

These are Italian Army Gore-Tex pants, built to keep rain and wet ground off your legs while letting body moisture escape. They come in Vegetato, the Italian military's own woodland camouflage, with a loose straight-leg cut and a set of suspenders to keep them from sagging when you move. Hunters, hikers, campers and collectors of Italian kit all have a use for a genuine issued shell like this one.

Features

• Gore-Tex Construction — Gore-Tex is a waterproof, breathable membrane that blocks rain from outside but lets sweat vapor pass through, so you stay drier inside.
• Vegetato Camouflage — The Italian Army's pattern mixes green, brown, tan and dark brown in a broken, pixel-edged design suited to woodland and mixed terrain.
• Adjustable Suspenders — Olive webbing straps with sliding adjusters hold the pants at the right height and keep the waist from slipping down.
• Elastic Waistband — Elastic at the sides and back gives the waist some stretch, so the fit stays comfortable over different layers.
• Drawcord Waist — A cord at the front lets you cinch the waist tighter when you need a snugger fit.
• Front Fly Closure — The front opens at a fly fastened at the top, for getting the pants on and off without removing your boots first.
• Straight-Leg Cut — A roomy, straight leg leaves space for movement and for wearing other layers underneath.
• Genuine Italian Army Issue — These pants were made for and issued to the Italian military, not produced for the commercial market.

Italian Army Issue

The Italian Army ordered these pants as foul-weather gear for its soldiers, so they were made to a military specification rather than a retail price point. The Vegetato print matches other Italian Army clothing in the same pattern, which makes them a good fit for collectors and reenactors putting together a correct Italian outfit. For everyone else, they are a practical waterproof layer for wet days in the field.
