Every upper deserves a lower to match. We've stocked the flectkarn Sympatex parka on and off over the years but we've never been able to get our hands on the pants - until now.
SympaTex is a fabric/membrane that is both water and windproof but allows water vapor to flow through. It's very similar to American Gore-Tex but originates from a European parent company. SympaTex is widely used across Europe in sports and recreation gear and has had considerable success winning military contracts.
They're essentially rain-proof pants you can throw on top of your other gear for when the weather goes south. With their integrated suspenders you won't have to worry about them falling off when you don't have your LARP gear underneath. As is the nature of Flecktarn you're either going to be blending in or sticking out with these, either of which will probably earn some questions and compliments in the woods.
Specs
- German Flecktarn pattern on delicious weatherproof SympaTex membrane
Type
Flecktarn comes in two color versions.
-
Pre-2005: The five-color pattern everyone thinks about when they hear Flecktarn — vibrant and robust
- Pre-2005 variants: Sometime during the 90s, Germany was in high demand for BDUs, so it contracted a handful of different companies for manufacture. Construction is identical, but color is not. With the number of different batches being produced by different printing equipment, the tone of the five colors varies from company to company
- Post-2005: In 2005 the five colors of Flecktarn were altered into more muted tones. Since then, the colors have stayed free of variation. Every piece made since 2005 features this muted version of Flecktarn
Sizing
- II 48/50 fits waist sizes from 30" to 36" with ease thanks to the velcro straps on the side. Inseam for the II 48/50 is approximately ~30".
- III 52/54 fits waist sizes from 34 to 40". Inseam is approximately ~32".
Condition
All pants are in excellent condition with no tears, cuts, marks, stains, or blemishes.

Probably should have ordered a different size
Ordered medium as it was the only size in stock. Thought it would be good. They are baggy but thats ok since they are an outer layer but they are about 4-5in shorter than my regular pants.
So they run big and short? Lol

Very good I enjoy very much
The keep water out and are durable but the straps don’t stay tight but a little bit of tape fixes that in a jiffy

awesome pants
Effective waterproofing. Fit well. lightly used with some mud on the knees but otherwise perfect. My only quibble is that I ordered post 2005 but received a pre 2005 version, however the color way is nearly the same on this pair.

Warehouse Ivan will lose his fruit snack privileges for this one, our apologies for the pattern mix up :(
Hunting Bottoms
Great bottoms for hunting or anything where youd like to be able to sit down on the ground and not immediately be soaked through your pants. Not sure how warm theyd be by themselves but with thermal underwear and a pair of the Austrian mountain pants they do great.
