Lightweight trousers in an olive green cotton mix. Trousers are front fastening with a zip fly leading to a green plastic button at the waistband.

There are also waist adjusters at the side seams of the waistband which can be tightened for added security. At the front, either side of the fly, there are two, large angled pockets. At the reverse, there is a button down flap pocket and on the left leg there is a cargo pocket, both of these fasten with a green plastic button. The trousers are unlined.
