Unfortunately I don’t have any solid information about the NC 2.0 line, but it’s safe to say these were made in small quantities in an attempt to continue the contract that Crye did have with NSW for uniforms during the Gen 2 production era. Features are a mash-up of Gen 2 NC, Gen 3 and Gen 4 field pants.
Soft waistband liner akin to G4s and button top fly closure rather than the usual velcro.
4-hole button closure with a little bit of velcro on the main thigh pockets, as per the Gen 2 era Navy Customs.
Small knife/tool pockets with reinforced/folded non-flapped openings, as well as pass-throughs to said pockets as per G3 combat pants.
Standard 45 degree binding tape branding.
Presumably a name or other identifying info penned over next to the usual style of heat transfer label. This particular set comes up way smaller than usual. While Crye field trousers often do come up smaller than combats, the difference here is so marked I would have to presume it is deliberate rather than just a manufacturing error. I would say these are in the region of 28-30 waist if you were buying G3 or G4 combats.
