The ECU CADPAT pants have elastic too. Pretty comfy.

When I did my pre deployment training circa 2008 they asked ‘when was the last time you guys fired a C7?’. One of the P3 guys said “it was a while ago, and it was called an FN”.

Well, we don't have any of those but we can drop *strongly worded leaflets! And, with the age of some RCAF aircraft, there's always the chance parts will fall off (aka indirect fire).

I see the younger generation in Ottawa and Toronto wearing them pretty frequently.

Anyone remember the winter combat pants from the late 60's, early 70's? Same material as the combat jacket and lined. Waterproof seat and knees.
