The Striker HT Combat Pants are equipped with a new and very “cool” air flow system. Mesh lined openings in the groin area, together with opening knee protector pockets generate a cooling air flow in your upper leg and groin area with every step you take.
The Striker HT combat pants can be upgraded with two different knee pads:
Both layers are protected with a CORDURA® face fabric which provides extreme abrasion resistance.
The Commando Shirt retains the collar, Velcro-fastened shoulder tabs and Velcro cuffs of the standard issue shirt but incorporates additional ventilation holes under the armpits and expandable pockets on both arms. These pockets are the same size as the chest pockets and are set at an angle to enable easy opening .
The front of the shirt is fitted with the two chest pockets of the standard issue shirt, but with all buttons removed. The pockets open with two patches of velcro each, and are expandable in the same way as the standard issue shirt. The front of the shirt is fited with three 30mm wide strips of velcro as a central opening – all press buttons and zippers have been removed in order to remove pressure points against the body when body armor is worn.
LK’s Explorer Trousers are an “action” trouser sewn to German quality control and military specifications and designed with special ops and law enforcement in mind. The trouser legs are panelled for better ergonomic performance over hips, seat and knees, whilst the lower hem is reinforced on the reverse side to reduce fraying and wear. The leg cargo pockets are triple pleated and deep enough to accommodate larger objects. They can also be opened from the top lid whilst standing or from the front seam with a zipper whilst seated or kneeling. The hip pockets are set at an angle to suit both top and side access and pocket ends are reinforced with extra stitching for durability.
The seat pockets are set closer to the sides of the leg for easier access, and also to reduce contents being squarely sat on. The front waist is closed with extra long hook and loop fastener for good adjustability across sizes, and the fly is military specification coil zip. The waist of the trousers is raised in the rear which helps to prevent belt bunching during crouching or squatting, and extra panels on the hips give the trousers more room in the rear so they do not ride down and expose your butt crack like standard trousers. The lower legs feature a less baggy, straight cut so that there isn’t extra fabric to flap about and snag when moving through low lying vegetation.

In Part I the team conducted a clandestine HALO insertion into enemy territory. In Parts II and III we see their tactical procedures and the gear used when operating behind the lines, moving into a covert OP, conducting the assault and rescue, and then extracting to the EXFIL location.
PART 1: THE CLANDESTINE HALO INSERTION
