'''Flak pants''' is a piece of protective apparel. It provides protection to the legs at the cost a -0.12 c/s penalty to movement speed.

Flak pants can be made at a [[machining table]], once [[Research#Flak armor|Flak Armor]] has been researched. Flak pants require {{icon|steel|60}} [[steel]], {{icon|cloth|30}} [[cloth]] and {{icon|component|1}}[[ component]] and {{ticks|{{P|Work To Make #}}}} of work to make.
  
 
Flak pants can also be commonly found on [[Outlanders]], [[Pirates]], [[Ancients]], and [[Empire#Pawns|Imperial Troopers]]. {{RoyaltyIcon}}

Overall, flak pants can provide useful protection in the early- to mid- game. Low resource costs, accessible research, and the ability to be worn with a [[duster]] all give it merit. While not ''vital'', permanent leg damage can severely impair colonists before [[bionic leg]]s are available. The penalty of -0.12 c/s to movement speed can make it less valuable for day to day life on pawns that need to walk around often (e.g. Growers).

With low resource costs, accessible research, and the ability to be worn with duster, Flak Pants can provide useful protection in the early game. It can be used to protect the legs from harm. Jackets and shirts do not protect the legs, and damage to the legs can severely impair colonists, so this is a good option to protect colonists. However the penalty of -0.12 c/s to movement speed can make it less valuable for day to day life on pawns that need to walk around often (e.g. Growers).
  
Generally, you should prioritize getting [[flak vest]]s and possibly [[flak jacket]]s or [[flak helmet]]s first. Flak vests have the same material cost while protecting many vital organs, like the torso, neck, and heart. The legs, while important, can be replaced.
+
Unlike [[flak jacket]]s, they are not made totally obsolete mid-game by the supply of [[devilstrand]], and instead [[pants]] require late-game materials like [[Hyperweave]] or [[Thrumbofur]] to achieve parity on sharp armor.
 +
However they do come with a movement penalty, and they take up both the Skin and Middle layers meaning that while they can be worn with a [[duster]], they cannot be worn with [[plate armor|plate]] or power armor of any kind, such as [[Recon armor]], [[Marine armor]] or [[Cataphract armor]]. Additionally, the Heat armor offered by devilstrand pants is significant, representing a 45% reduction in damage from fire even at Normal [[quality]]. These factors can make their abandonment worthwhile even before late game materials are available.
  
Unlike [[flak jacket]]s, they are not made totally obsolete by [[devilstrand]]. Regular [[pants]] only equal flak pants with rare, late-game materials in [[hyperweave]] and [[thrumbofur]]. However, devilstrand pants offer a significant amount of Heat armor, equal to a 45% reduction in damage from fire even at Normal [[quality]].
+
The exact protection of the legs offered by flak pans vs pants of varying materials and armor is reliant on the interactions between [[Armor#Armor Rating|Armor Rating calculations]] and is currently unclear.
  
Note that flak pants are unable to be worn with [[plate armor]] or any form of [[power armor]]. The exact protection of the legs offered by flak pants vs pants of varying materials and power armor is reliant on the interactions between [[Armor#Armor Rating|Armor Rating calculations]] and is currently unclear. However, devilstrand pants and any power provide superior protection.

A [[devilstrand]] [[duster]] synergizes quite well with this, providing additional protection to the legs.
