C222 Ranger Trousers - Irish DPM

Great quality. 👍 fast shipping

Rite, these trousers are great. Plenty of comfort and breath ability with a lot of storage room not becoming to burdensome. The kneepad inserts (not included) are comfy and a good price for their effectiveness- especially in my case grafting on a roof. The stitching holds well and in general the material is solid which it buggering should be for the price which can be a bit of a turn off but eh well, since they’re cool I’ll let it slide.

A tip for people however is buy a longer leg size than you usually would as the kneepads can do whatever tf they want if they’re sat at your standing knee height, however having a size up on legs will ensure that when you actually go down onto your knees/knee, you won’t have to adjust your kneepad to the right place first; the extra length takes away that worry.

Working with sharp and heavy objects, I’ve seen how things can go bad- so as much as it may seem a bit extreme. I like to carry a tourniquet in the designated leg pouch, out of the way but an (personally) essential bit of kit to have. Otherwise I just stick paslode nails in them, perfect sizing for the most part.

Conclusion.
They’re sound and they’ll last you.
GET RID OF THE KNEEPADS THEY COME WITH, ABSOLUTE DOG.

Well made trousers and I like the longer length option.
Haven’t used the knee pads yet but seem good quality.

Great pants. I had to order a size up but otherwise very nice

The fabric and stitching are first class, and the fit is fantastic; add in the great Euro patterns available and you’ve got a great plant!! If I was to criticize anything I’d wish the pants had pull tabs with Velcro similar to Crye or UF Pro so the user can customize their fit even further, and any company that learns from the early generation LEAF pants that had built in dust/snow gaiters at the bottom of each leg will instantly have a leg up on the competition; no pun intended. Lastly every pant manufacturer should get away from loud Velcro, and zippers that break even if they’re YKK, and cannot be fixed in the field. Please just give us users a bar tacked strip of buttons, so if a problem occurs in the field we can break out our sew kit and fix the issue in mins, instead of walking around with a busted zipper or loud Velcro that eventually wears out and can get us shot. If those improvements were made Arktis would have the perfect pant IMHO. As it stands now they have a quality pant that is very similar to a Crye G3 minus the Velcro pull tabs in the waist.
