The Battle Dress Uniform was worn by the U.S. Armed Forces in combat until mid-2000. While no longer worn in combat, the classic style inspired most tactical clothing because of its resilient, useful design. Propper crafts these poly/cotton BDU pants to military specification, except that these pants come with a zip fly instead of the usual button fly. Made from a durable 65% polyester / 35% cotton ripstop fabric, these pants stand up to abuse. Double-reinforced seat and knees, and felled seams provide additional strength, while waist tabs with 4 bar tacks self-adjust to maintain an ideal fit at all times. Six military-grade pockets provide storage for all essential gear. Take on any challenging mission with confidence when you dress in Propper's battle-tested BDU pants.
