TRZIN, SLOVENIA (6 Nov. 2019)—UF PRO today said its new Striker X Combat Pants for use by police and military units will become available on 20 November at the company’s online store and selected UF PRO distribution partners.
“Our Striker X Combat Pants build on the foundation of our already tough-as-nails Striker range to offer something extremely rugged when it comes to resisting rips, splits, tears, and other common forms of damage typically incurred during missions or operations,” said Armin Wagner, head of UF PRO product development.
“For example, a wearer could be maneuvering through a patch of dense brush, but thanks to the innovative way we construct Striker X Combat Pants they aren’t likely to be snagged and torn by any of the branches,” Wagner continued.
“We also achieved greater ruggedness by streamlining all the seams,” Wagner added. “Because none of them are uncovered, the potential for rips to develop along the stitching is scant.”
Despite the enhanced toughness, Striker X Combat Pants are exceptionally comfortable and do not restrict the wearer’s freedom of movement, Wagner indicated.
“These new combat pants are fitted to the anatomic form and function of the lower body, so they feel great and perform fantastically,” he said. “The pants move as the wearer moves, whether standing, sitting, kneeling, laying, walking, running, climbing, or jumping. This is possible because of our decision to include stretch panels made from Schoeller®-Dynamic polyamide-elastane blend stretch materials and to strategically position them in the most beneficial places.”
Other important features of the debuting Striker X Combat Pants include:
• Ergonomic triple-layer, knee-protection system that adjusts from the rear to provide extra cushioning or impact protection when needed;
• No-melt/no-drip construction throughout;
• Nearly a dozen pockets of various sizes to allow carrying a greater quantity and variety of essential items;
• Built-in hooks that fasten the hem to the wearer’s boots so that the pants legs can’t ride up;
• Double belt-loops that permit a holster to be rapidly attached or detached;
• Ability to accept a WINDSTOPPER thermal liner so that the pants can be worn in cold temperatures;
• Breathable nylon-cotton blend ripstop material throughout enables use in hot weather;
“We believe wearers will, as soon as they put on a pair of these, recognize that our Striker X Combat Pants are a radically different and superior piece of tactical gear,” Wagner offered. “These pants are designed with the needs of military units in mind. They need combat pants that can go out on a mission and come back home in one piece or easily repair them out in the field, if needed. We know this because they told us this is what they need. And we listened.
“The result is a model of combat pants that supplies maximum durability plus go-anywhere-do-anything capability in environments of every imaginable type. These pants embody functionality, comfort, usability and protectiveness.
“We are very confident that our Striker X Combat Pants will earn plaudits aplenty from those who wear them. They are, in our opinion, the ultimate combat pants for military operatives.”
The Striker X Combat Pants will be available in two colours: Brown Grey and MultiCam, according to Wagner.
