Maskpol CP-02 Military Pants - MAPA

Durable and comfortable military pants with a cut similar to the 2010 pattern, sewn from Rip-Stop fabric in the unique MAPA camouflage. The CP-02 pants will prove useful in tactical training, survival, ASG and recreational outdoor activities. Although intended for the civilian market, it will also be appreciated by professionals in the uniformed services.

The camouflage pattern MAPA was designed by Maciej Dojlitko, a graduate and currently a researcher at the Faculty of Architecture and Design of the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdansk, author of, among other publications, Theory of Deconstruction of Visual Communication. Tools for designing military camouflage (Gdansk 2015). The innovative design, supported by convincing theoretical and experimental arguments, including computer analysis of thousands of photographs of the terrain, attracted the attention of specialists and military clothing manufacturers. In 2017, the MAPA camouflage made its debut at the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce as a camouflage pattern for the Dromader system of armor and uniforms from Maskpol, which is part of the Polish Armament Group. The system was created for soldiers of the Territorial Defense Army, but the MAPA camouflage itself was also considered as a perspective pattern for the entire Polish Armed Forces, where it could replace the wz.93 camouflage. Unfortunately, the MAPA camouflage has not been implemented as an official camouflage pattern of the Polish Army to date.

Highlights of the MAPA camouflage in the basic forest variant:
- 6 colors that form layers resembling levels on a map,
- colors optimized for operations in the forests of Central Europe,
- use of the illusion of three-dimensionality and anamorphosis effect,
- biomorphic shapes making the design similar to vegetation,
- strongly contrasting elements imitating flashes of light and shadows,
- deformation of the masked silhouette using macro pattern,
- color noise reproduced by means of a micro pattern.

The MAPA pattern is an interesting alternative to the best contemporary camouflage patterns such as PenCott, MultiCam, Kryptek, Flecktarn or Finnish M/05. In some respects, it is more advanced than them, and better reproduces the colors found in Central European forests in the period from later spring to early autumn.

The US-23 material used to sew the pants is a 50/50 combination of soft cotton and durable polyester. The material is lightweight, breathable and pleasant to the touch. It features high resistance to abrasion and te aring thanks to the Rip-Stop weave.

The pants are equipped with 6 practically arranged pockets:
- two recessed on the hips,
- two on the back closed with Velcro,
- two large capacious cargo pockets closed with Velcro.

Rubber inserts have been sewn into the buttoned waistband, and the opening is closed with a zipper. The lower leg hem has been equipped with an additional drawstring.

They have reinforcement on the buttocks in the form of an additional layer of material. In addition, inside the legs at knee level there are pockets giving the possibility of placing protective inserts in them, as well as rubber welts. There is an additional carabiner holder on the front loop (not included).

Not included with the pants is the belt shown in the photos.
