Rounding out the Wet Weather Protective (WWP) ensemble that launched the brand to market this spring, SITKA Arrowhead introduces the WWP Half Bib Pant – MDW as a COTS offering for Winter 2021.
Intended for wet/cold environments the Half Bib Pant is made with Gore GTX 3L 40d Nylon Ripstop with DWR. Providing an optional WWP pant solution that enhances protection when the end-user is in a static position, specifically when deployed in the prone position conducting observation or support by fire tasks.
The integrated suspender system with laddered adjustability allows the end-user to dial in the fit for unrestricted movement and flexible torso sizing. 7/8 Side Zips have been added to allow for the ease of donning and doffing when wearing boots. Large front facing cargo zip pockets provide ample space for gloves & accessories and dump pocket capability.
Always focused on best-in-class materials to meet SITKA Arrowhead purpose-built design principles, the WWP Pant and Half Bib Pant MDW include reinforced insteps made with Trelleborg HANK™.
Trelleborg HANK™ is a flexible and extremely light weight High Abrasion Neoprene Kevlar, that belies the fabrics exceptional durability and waterproofness.
“We picked this particular textile for our instep because it proved to be lighter, more flexible, had great abrasion resistance and was more waterproof than any other instep reinforcement materials on the market. It complements the GORE-TEX textiles we use without feeling over built. “

Very cool! I’ve heard great things about Trelleborg HANK!
Hand-cutting it is annoying, but the material is great!
They’re some good looking trousers.
This is pretty interesting. I wonder if I’d me able to buy a set for my brother in 4th BDE 25th ID? I’d like to send him a set. They look solid. I wonder if these are non FR or FR. I’m leaning towards Non FR.
Non-FR. There are currently no FR wet weather protection for dismounted troops. Mounted crewmen and aircrew are issued FREE, that’s FR Environmental Ensemble.
Good job Sitka, the half bib pants look really awesome. Hope you guys release in 2022 a complete combat uniform system, ranging from field to combat uniforms, as well as, their fire resistant versions.
