The trouser features removable suspenders secured by hook and loop closures, partially elasticized waist, front zipper fly secured by a left over right snap closure, two side slash zipper pockets, one patch pocket on the right leg, one cargo pocket on the left leg, adjustable cuffs, and two knee-strengtheners and two inner ankle strengtheners of 65% polyamide fabric, 25% Kevlar and 10% elastane fabric. The knee and ankle strengtheners are extremely tear and abrasion resistant. The article is a specialized, protective trouser.
