Shell Suit Pants are light, glossy sports trousers in the bright style of the eighties. They are made for exercise and pair with the Shell Suit Jacket. They cover the groin, thighs and shins.
Their strength is comfort and low weight. They give the legs a little warmth and block some wind. Their cost is protection, since they stop very few scratches in a fight.
The pants come in several colours, including Black, Blue, Green, Pink and Teal. One plain version can be dyed. They are a common find in clothing stores and storage rooms. The Tailor is the best occupation for clothing. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
Shell Suit Pants are worn in the Pants slot. They cover the groin, the thighs and the shins.
They keep in about a third of body heat on the legs and block a little under half of the wind. That suits warm and mild days. In cold weather they are too thin on their own.
Against zombies they stop only about one scratch in twenty on the legs. Jeans stop one bite in ten and a fifth of scratches, and they keep in about twice the heat. Both weigh the same. Jeans slow running by 2 percent, while shell suit pants leave running at full speed.
Two pieces cannot share the Pants slot. Skirts, dresses, shorts, skinny pants, boilersuits and full suits all clash with them.
Tailoring
Using Research Craft on the pants teaches the Sew Pants recipe. The plain version can be recoloured with the Dye Clothes recipe.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies Shell Suit Pants and teaches the recipes below.

Notes
- The pants are best for warm weather, when speed matters more than armour.
- Jeans are the safer choice for fighting, at the cost of a slightly slower run.
- Researching a pair is an easy way to learn Sew Pants.
- The pants burn, so a spare pair can serve as tinder or fuel for a fire.
