The flak pants is a protective apparel. It covers the legs at the cost of movement speed.

Acquisition

Flak pants can be commonly found on Outlanders, Pirates, Imperial Troopers and Ancients. Additionally, they can be manufactured at a machining table, once flak armor has been researched. A flak pants requires Steel 30 Steel, Cloth 60 Cloth and Component 1 Component and ? seconds of work (? ticks) to be created, assuming baseline global work speed and no enhancements or hindrances to consciousness, sight, or manipulation.

Analysis

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)

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