The Vanguard Over-Shell Trousers are tactical hardshell trousers designed to be worn directly over combat uniform trousers. A three-layer membrane, full-length side zippers and Cordura® reinforcements support special operations personnel, military units and tactical teams working in severe weather.

For special operations & tactical teams
The three-layer membrane has a 25,000 mm waterproof rating and 15,000 g/m²/24 h breathability. Full-length, two-way water-resistant side zippers make it easier to put the trousers on or take them off, access inner pockets and regulate ventilation during field use.
The membrane provides the outer protective layer over your combat uniform. Its stated waterproof rating is 25,000 mm, with breathability of 15,000 g/m²/24 h.
Water-resistant zippers run along the full length of the sides. They provide access to pockets in the trousers underneath, support rapid donning and removal, and can be opened for ventilation. Buckles and snaps secure the closures.
Reinforcements cover the knees, seat and inner lower legs to improve abrasion resistance where contact with terrain and repeated movement place demands on the fabric.
A waist belt with buckle works with elastic two-point suspenders attached by G-hooks. Non-slip material runs around the entire inner waistband to help prevent the trousers from sliding during movement.
Equipment integration

The waist adjustment, suspenders and continuous non-slip inner waistband work together to stabilize the over-trousers during movement. When the shell is not required, its single pocket doubles as a self-pack for compact storage.
