Trousers Aircrew Cold Weather Mk3
Non-DPM over-trousers and component of the Suit Aircrew Cold Weather. Like the accompanying Mk3 jacket, these are meant to be worn in conjunction with the Mk14 suit in extreme cold weather and are manufactured by Beaufort - the survival equipment specialists. These are extremely well made and durable jackets. They are also expensive and are highly desirable - especially to walty non-aircrew types.
