wind pants: Pants you wear when it is really windy but probably not going to rain. They are usually thin and will not keep you dry if it rains, but they make your legs feel the wind a lot less. Sometimes you can wear only shorts underneath the wind pants, if it is a warm but windy day.

CONT

The pouch, with the [combat] jacket inside, may be used for other purposes such as a pillow. Its size has been optimised and can be used for extra storage such as stowing the wind pants or gloves with the jacket.
