Massif’s Hellman Combat Pant and Advanced Quarter Zip Combat Shirt are NAVAIR approved. As a recent SOA list addition, these new items are interchangeable with the approved Massif 2 Piece flight suit to give Aircrews the flexibility to pick and choose flight gear based on mission and environment. This is huge for Naval Aircrews as this is the first time a Combat-Style pant with integrated knee pad has been approved for flight use. Navy and Marine Corps helo crews spend lots of time on their knees and this move is bringing much needed relief.
Massif has done a great job of working with various communities like naval and Marine Corps aviation to not only boost performance, but also preventing injuries.

“Navy and Marine Corps helo crews spend lots of time on their knees and this move is bringing much needed relief.”
Hehehehehe….
How do these not infringe on Crye’s combat pant patent?
Most likely it is licensed.
Still….. Enquiring minds want to know.
Hey there Ground Pounder. Good question. Crye Precision has a patent on their AirFlex™ Knee Pad, not the pant. Massif® is authorized to use the knee pad in our Hellman Combat Pant, for a fee of course.
SShink,
BTW, please look here at Massif patents, licensing, and usage of patents. Best, Massif. http://www.massif.com/patents
