The German Army Winter Battle pants had a rubber liner in the knees and on the butt.
You could stay nice and dry in them.
There was another version which had some sort of plastic in the knees and pants which "creaked" in the cold, but if you found the ones with rubber, they were very very excellent pants.
Too bad I outgrew them from my highschool years.
I did not know they shrank from closet air!!!!

The Swiss and German army pants were great ! They had a waxed paper in the knees, that's why you had to wash in cold water. Shrunken wool can be renewed, wash in hair conditioner and cold water , stretch, let dry, wash normally.
