All Tropical Combat Trousers had two hanging pockets, two hip pockets and two thigh cargo pockets. From the 3rd pattern onwards, the waistband on Tropical Combat Trousers had straps that allowed the waist size to be adjusted by 4 inches. The 6th pattern did away with the vertical seam above the back pockets that was present on the 3rd, 4th and 5th version.
