The anti-G trousers are partially double-walled and partially single-walled and made from an air-permeable, tear-resistant, refractory and stretch-resistant synthetic textile material of max. 130 gram/m2. In the double-walled areas, airtight pockets (13, 18, 34, 35) are thereby formed which act as pneumatic muscles and contract when being inflated from an automatic pressure supply and thereby draw the adjacent single-layer textile pieces towards one another. In this way, pressure is applied all over the surface of the pilot's body. The pockets (34) on the outer sides of the trouser legs extend upwards against the lower abdomen into a respective pouch-type bubble (13) and are connected to the pockets (35) for the inner sides of the trouser legs via an inguinal channel (18). The pockets (34) communicate on the rear side of the trousers via a connection channel. From here, in the lower back region, a coccyx channel extends downwards between the buttocks of the wearer. The front sides and rear sides of the trouser legs remain textile strips (14). They are breathable and allow for the discharge of body heat.
