Windpants

But only if (according to recent AArs) you use the small pack as part of the whole fighting system, as so many soldiers have not been doing... tsk tsk.

My mistake.. I was ranting again.

Just to give you an idea of the versatility of the goretex windpants, in Texas recently, I had them as the only clothing item I would pack in my small pack.  I didn't even pack my rain suit.  It was great to have as an insulating layer in the cold mornings..

But did you have your small pack with you, when you left your veh  :?

According to clothe the soldier's AAR, I would have to have it as it is an integral part of my modular load system and "When worn with the Tactical Vest, the Small Pack System will allow
soldiers to carry the necessary ammunition and equipment for operations up to 24 hours."

Anyhow, we are venturing off course.  No more non-windpant talk.
