Pants worn by U.S. military helicopter pilots and flyers (flight personnel) in high-temperature environments. This real military gear is made of high-temperature (high temperature resistant) fire retardant nylon (FR nylon) to maintain fire resistance in harsh environments such as the tropics and deserts. It is an estimated MEDIUM size.
The clothing tag is marked "TROUSERS, FLYER'S HOT WEATHER / FIRE RESISTANT NYLON, OG-108". The contract number is " 6033-72 " (a contract style seen from late NATO to late Vietnam War to early 1970s) and is estimated to have been manufactured around the early 1970s. Unlike conventional cotton pants, this type of pants features side zippered knee areas, cargo pockets and other utility pockets, and a slightly slimmer, more mobile pattern.
They are also made in a way that they do not cause stress when sitting in the seat of an airplane or helicopter. It is also a good match for "heavy seating" applications such as motorcycles and scooters.
