The history of the Mabuta suit dates back to Soviet times. It is a suit designed for hot climates and was popular among special forces, scouts, and paratroopers. In 2013, the P1G-TAC brand created a modern version called the MABUTA Mk-2. The updated version retained all the best qualities of its predecessor and was enhanced with modern material and improved design solutions based on the trends of 21st-century field uniforms.
The design of the MABUTA Mk-2 pants includes eight pockets: two front slash pockets, two thigh pockets with flaps, two rear pockets with Velcro flaps, and two rear thigh pockets with flaps. Both pairs of thigh pockets close with English-type buttons, which are easy to open while wearing gloves. This button attachment method also increases durability and reduces the chances of the buttons coming off. The rear thigh pockets are equipped with an elastic band with a stopper to adjust the size of the pocket opening and can be used as a drop pouch for magazines. The pockets have special pleats so that an empty pocket lies flat against the pants and expands evenly to hold all necessary items.
The waistband features a wide and rigid construction with an internal cushioning insert, ensuring a snug fit and good sweat absorption. The rear part of the waistband has an elastic nylon insert, allowing freedom of movement even when the belt is tightly secured. This area is also equipped with wide belt loops, allowing the use of a wide belt. They are fitted with four YKK D-rings for attaching additional gear.
For freedom of movement in the knee area, there is an elastic nylon insert. To protect the knee joints, the model includes integrated knee pads, which can be removed if necessary. They are made of a combination of a plastic top and a soft cushioning lining. The knee pad fit can be adjusted: vertically from the front thigh pockets and horizontally with elastic bands at the back of the knee pads.
The inner side of the lower pant leg, which experiences the most wear, is reinforced with duplicate patches. Additionally, this area features Velcro cuffs to prevent dirt and sand from getting inside the footwear.
