In response to the growing number of active female operatives, Woolrich Elite Series Tactical entered the women's market with its first tactical pant designed specifically for women. The Women's Elite Lightweight Pant debuted at the 2009 SHOT Show and will be available at tactical outlets throughout the United States.

 "We've incorporated our most popular tactical pant features into a much-needed version for women," said Ron Bernstine, sales manager for Woolrich Elite Series Tactical Elite. "Working with female operatives, we designed this pant to fit their physique. The result is a pant that will provide comfort and style to female operatives without sacrificing durability and function."

The Women's Elite Lightweight Pant is manufactured of fade resistant, lightweight cotton ripstop fabric and designed for a woman's unique frame. The pant features ten strategically placed multi-use pockets, built with critical seams, double-needle stitched and bartacked at stress points for durability. It will be available in Khaki.

"Most manufacturers think that all they need to do is simply shrink the men's version and that will suffice," said Bernstine. "Based on more than a century of designing and producing women's apparel, we've taken great care to create a pant that is both functional and designed for a woman's unique fit."
