West African Guinea-Bissau Army Combat Pants - Woodland Camo

Guinea-Bissau Field Pants

These are combat trousers from the Guinea-Bissau Army's current uniform, the set the West African nation's ground forces have been issued in recent years. They are cut for field work, with tear-resistant ripstop, six buttoned pockets and reinforced knees. Collectors of African military uniforms, reenactors and anyone who wants a hard-wearing pair of camo pants for the woods will find a genuine government-issue garment here rather than a commercial copy.

Features

• Digital Woodland Camouflage — A pixelated pattern of green, brown, tan and black, the same digital type as the US Marine Corps' MARPAT, breaks up your outline in forest and brush.
• 65/35 Poly-Cotton Blend — The fabric is 65% polyester for strength and quick drying and 35% cotton for comfort against the skin.
• Ripstop Weave — A reinforcing grid is woven into the cloth so a small snag or tear cannot run across the leg.
• Six Cargo Pockets — Button-down flaps, including the large pockets on each thigh, keep maps, gloves and small kit secure while you move.
• Button Fly — A buttoned front closure follows the traditional military pattern and has no zipper to jam or break in the field.
• Adjustable Waist Tabs — Side straps with metal slides let you take in the waistband for a closer fit.
• Adjustable Leg Bottoms — The cuffs cinch down around boots to keep out debris, insects and drafts.
• Reinforced Knees — An extra layer of fabric covers the knees, the spot where trousers wear through first when you kneel.
• Straight Leg, Regular Fit — A flat front and straight leg give a standard combat-trouser cut that sits easily over boots.
• Made In Guinea-Bissau — These trousers were produced in the issuing country for its own army.

Original Army Issue

These pants belong to the newer Guinea-Bissau Army uniform and follow its original specification: 65/35 poly-cotton ripstop, six-pocket cargo layout, button fly and adjustable waist and cuffs. Uniforms from smaller West African armies rarely reach the surplus market, which makes an authentic issued pair a good addition to a collection of world military dress. The cut and fabric are also practical enough to wear for hunting, camping or range days.
