Like ‘Yoga pants’ but for larping.
One of my favourite uniforms when it comes to practicality is this all-stretch type from Beyond that, unfortunately, I’ve only seen available from private sellers. Also only seems top have be in AOR1 and 2. These are entirely constructed of an unusual, super lightweight, 4-way stretch fabric that isn’t quite the same as anything else I have personally owned.
These garments are slightly lighter than even the Crye G4 Temperate Shell offerings, which themselves are thinner and lighter than the G3 All Weather items and the Fieldshell 1 or 2. True pyjama type wear comfort, even more breathable than typical cotton blend uniforms and very fast drying.
What they don’t have is anything much in the way of rain resistance or wind blocking. I’ve obviously not set them alight but I’m pretty sure they’d melt fairly readily, comparatively speaking. But these were *probably* designed to go over the beach and generally do water-y stuff.
Both sleeve and chest pockets are velcro closure only, which is the only oddity here on (an assumed) maritime operations-specific uniform.
Elbows are reinforced but do not accept a pad/padding.
The only current production equivalents to these which I have seen are made in Asia and often designed with a weird, tight fitment/cut. But for training (away from explosives), practice, sports and other fun stuff these uniforms are great.
