Today continue to talk about military pants, this time said Master Ma's IWOL land aviation flame retardant pants.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that this IWOL series plus flint pants are special models for the US Army Air Aviation, this FREE flame retardant system developed by the Army, the whole process is fire environmental ensembele. At that time, UCP camouflage was mainly distributed to army aviation and armored units on a small scale, and USAF, as ARMY's brother, the Air Force also purchased IWOL flame retardant clothing for tabby camouflage in the same period.

This soft shelled down pants was very expensive at the time, but fortunately it is much cheaper now...
The FREE series of flame retardant apparel systems is very complete, including gloves, socks, underwear and outerwear and other full equipment. The IWOL series is one of them, which is translated as shell clothing under general climatic conditions, suitable for use in climatic conditions of about 0 degrees.
About THE MASIFF MA Master company is not much to say, the previous article mentioned many times, the first contact of friends directly look at the picture ~
Regarding the FREE series of flame retardant fabrics, the previous article has also been explained in detail, not much to describe here, with a fleece liner with imitation cashmere structure inside. The fabric contains 61% NOMEX material from DuPont, 29% cotton, 7% nylon, and other materials. Although this is the fabric ratio of nearly twenty years ago, until today in 2022, it is also the best flame retardant and windproof waterproof material! The cut design of the whole shell pants can be described as a combination of MASIF's many years of manufacturing experience, with fire retardant effect and with the characteristics of windproof, waterproof, breathable and warm.
Let's talk about the fit design and function of these pants.

Finally, on the washing standard, here is the difference between the public version and the commercial version, the public version is definitely indicated in the size, contract number, storage number, army certification of the five-star standard, IWOL, similar to the kraft paper washing label is harder. The commercial version will not and is not allowed to use the name FREE IWOL, but use the name AEP!
The commercial version of the fabric ratio is also different from the public version, the commercial version is 90% NOMEX 10% of other materials of the fabric composition. Among them, it lacks the blessing of cotton material, and there is a gap with the public version in terms of wearing comfort and fabric extension flexibility! It looks more like a fabric ratio that has been coped with for sales, and there is no professionalism of the public version of the fabric!
The public version has the Army Certified Five-Star Medal
My contract number for this piece was erased by the foreigner, but if you look closely, you can see that it is a contract in 2007. Although the commercial version of the following figure also has a contract number, it cannot be proved that it is a public version! Therefore, the fact that the commercial version of the clothes has a contract number does not mean that the brand side deliberately cheated, but wants to prove that it was once a brilliant history of the foundry
Or that sentence the US military uniform has a contract number is not necessarily a public version, and no one is not necessarily a public version! It is also necessary to analyze the specific problems on a case-by-case basis
Commercial edition of the label wash details
I have no hangtags in this public version, and the public hanging tags should only have the massif logo and introduction, and there is no commercial version of the elements fabric logo! However, some e-commerce platforms often serve as commercial versions as public sales, and everyone should pay attention to them.
Commercial version of the hang tag
The commercial version can only be called AEP Army Element Material Pants It cannot be called IWOL
Summary link: This UCP MASSIF FREE IWOL plush soft shell pants as one of the combat suit systems developed by the U.S. Army for its army and vehicle crew personnel, the main feature is flame retardant characteristics, which is indeed important for the U.S. military mechanics and combat personnel, the vehicle will be ignited by the enemy no matter how good, and as a mechanized combat unit soldier is definitely more expensive for ordinary soldiers, there must be a combat suit like the FREE system that can guarantee that it will be killed within 4-8 seconds to match it. And increase the chances of escape. So the FREE costume system is definitely the best in the Army's internal combat suit system!
I took this IWOL pants as a southern winter motorcycle ride, its windproof and rainproof durability is the reason why I like it, compared to thousands of professional pull cycling pants are much more cost-effective. As far as outdoor clothing is concerned, it can be said that the overall cost performance of military uniforms is much higher than that of civilian outdoor products in terms of performance and durability. That's why I've been playing military products all the time. I hope these articles can help everyone in choosing outdoor clothing.
Thanks for reading and sharing~
