Propper Poly / Cotton Ripstop BDU Pants

Not a military person but always loved the toughness of clothes made for the military. These feel like they will hold up. These pants will allow me to carry my photography gear without making carry a bag into the woods or in the urban jungle. The color options are great. For my intended use, the side adjusting buckle is metal (as it should be) which would scratch up a camera if you sling it...nothing a few small strips of fabric Velcro can't fix. So long Levi's! It's good to be wearing pants made in the U.S.A. again. My search is over.

great pants, just what i was looking for. good for any outside activity. look and feel just like the ones we wore in the military

the material was put through a really nice gauntlet. worked out with them using many movements. washed them 5 times within a week. still have no problems with them at all. the durability of the fabric has kept up with many, many kicks to a heavy bag. the flexibility is great, i was able to do many crossfit exercises with them successfully without any problems of too much tugging. the adjustable bands on the sides are really helpful, keep me feeling comfortable and keep me from looking like a gangster...or an idiot. they are comfortable to the max, great for running in the 40 degree weather without worrying too much about overheating and getting too cold. my one and only complaint is the washing instructions. it rubbed a little too much to be comfortable so i just ripped it off, easy and practical solution. I would have absolutely loved them if they had a magazine pouch on the legs but that's just me. otherwise, very good product, going to get more soon.

so far did the same thing another guy did. Warm wash + dryer on high = no problems. used them for some kick boxing practice testing the flexibility and the stretch of them, very nice flow to them. The material was very nice. few frayed seams needed clipping, but military specs are there. will make another review in about a week or so from further testing. they feel very nice.

Just got these in the mail today after ordering them on Thur. Used regular UPS ground. Excellent customer service with MiltaryGear.com. Could not ask for more perfect service. Thank you very much. These BDU pants are more than I expected. As soon as I got them I washed them in hot water and dryed them on high, just to see if the color and size would hold up. Before ordering more! They came out just the way they went in. Perfect. The material is heavy duty and feels very tuff! The color is almost an exact match to the Blackhawk riggers belt OD green. I would recomend and will be buying more. True to length/size/color/and discription. Not too baggy and not to tight. Belt loops are plenty big enough for a riggers belt. Thank you!

The Propper Poly/Cotton Ripstop BDU's are well made, and hold up to almost everything. I currently have several pairs, and have been wearing the 'Propper' brand for many years in many climates and for various applications. I am rather satisfied with this product. The only exception, or rather issue that I have with them is the material used for the inside of the front and back pockets. I believe it's a poly/cotton blend, but it can have a tendency to weaken over time and develop holes, especially if you carry lots of things. I suppose they use this material because of complaints regarding heat retention. However, years ago(and I still have a pair), Propper used the same Ripstop material for the inner pocket lining. I kind of wish, and hope they go back to that. It's far superior in it's construction, and I never noticed a difference in heat retention, even in desert environments. However, overall I find Propper to be the best available. The buttons stay on the longest, and the pockets hold up well too, considering. You can get a good year or two use out of them if you treat them right. Wash cold, and let them drip dry. They'll last twice as long, and hold their color better. I have noticed that the Ripstop poly/cotton blend dries fast too, even in more humid climates.

I bought them for work. Jeans are heavy and cotton dries horribly. I work out side and need clothing that can keep up with the weather. Love the battle rip for those reasons. I just feel that the cut is not up to standers. I wear 36x36 and a large long is jean tight. I little tighter than previous BDU's I bought. I also worry about the stitching. Time will tell! I am for the most part happy with my purchase and would do it again. I would like a wider belt loop for the center of the back.

These fit well and look great. They appear to be super durable, yet are not excessively heavy or bulky. They are cool looking enough so that I don't feel like some goober-soldier-wannabe, yet are the real deal when it comes to tactical purposes (in terms of CCW, extra magazine storage, and adaptability) and mil-spec indestructibility.

I've been wearing Propper pants for hiking, cycling, any activity where I need tough pants... and also for lounging around/casual wear. I love the number of pockets, and the fact that these pants hold up so well. My old pair is about 5 years old and still going strong!

I had been hunting around for a perfect "uniform" that was better for work than the blue jeans that I always wore. I selected BDU style slacks to test out. I tried a few colors, but having a lot of pets, hair will land on your pants. The color that works the best for me (and all my pets) is this dark grey version. I love the rip stop (Battle Rip) version because they really look good. Machine wash and dry (and they dry faster than jeans too!), fold them flat (just in half) and they look great right out of the drawer. I don't find it comfortable with my wallet in my back pocket when I need to sit down. The leg pocket is wonderful for that. I use the other one for my cell phone - spreading out the stuff I have to tote around with me all day is a blessing. While the design of the BDU's is great, the way the dark grey just kind of hides the pet hair is fantastic.

I have owned well over a dozen pairs of Poly/cotton BDU's. They are utterly amazing, My main occupation is tree work, and that is very tough on pants. They just last and last.
