Rothco Tactical BDU Pants – Rugged Cargo Outdoor Hiking EDC Work Uniform

This is the second time I have ordered from this brand on Amazon and I love them.., so did/do many of the ladies I attended a class with for two weeks. To my friends, I've called this color "coyote desert" - I could tell they wanted a pair. I have worn these to casual events wherein I was tired of khakis.., with a polo t-shirt, button down with and without a collar it still looks good. The tie strings near the ankle are like laces only I can tuck them inside the material for a neater look. My waist is a scoch under 40 inches (I'm older now and a lil portly) so I ordered a extra large and since I am five foot nine the " regular" length fit just fine. If you are five foot nine. Id recommend a "short". The regular length I ordered could fit someone just a tad shorter than six feet. But I really like the baggy/bagginess as it gives me an extra range of motion; sneakers are fine, so are semi laceddress shoes, but don't wear these with sandals or shoes you wear to the beach. I already have my third pair picked out.

Comfortable and well made. Bought them for hunting. They stood up to the brush and briars well.

First off, the Camo pattern does look good. For those who don't know, this is an Experimental pattern that underwent trials in the 90's by the USMC (Project Urban Warrior). This is a legit, Official DOD pattern. That being said, it was never issued. The only people who got ahold of them were the Marines who wore them in the trials As for these Rothco Uniforms, they aren't bad. They do feel a little plastic-y compared to issued uniforms. They are not Rip-Stop, no Company seems to print Urban ERDL on a Ripstop uniform for some reason. These look like the same material as the old Heavy-Weight "Cold Weather" Twill BDUs, but they are not. The Material as significantly thinner, Almost as thin as Rip-Stop BDUs. That being said, they don't feel trashy. I worry that they would tear easy, but I haven't abused them yet. The cut is the same as Issued BDU pants, all is well there. If you're buying these solely for the looks/fashion reasons, keep in mind that they aren't super baggy. I know this pattern was big in the Skate and HipHop scenes once upon a time. These are fitted like Legit BDUs, if you order your normal size, they will not have that Baggy Alt look. Overall, they will serve their purpose. I bought them used for 25$. I would *not* pay full price for these. They are objectively not as well made as Legit BDUs (Which you can get for under 20$). 45$ is just too much for these.

Well made “pocket pants”, perfect for hiking, work, everyday use. Comfortable, non-binding, replacement for military BDU style pants. I use these for anything/everything outdoors……last a long time, good durability, awesome sized pockets (can actually over load them with too much stuff your pants will fall down without a good belt)!

These are true to size Feel well made Good quality Pockets are well sized Will buy again

Chinese made, not mil-spec, no rip-stop, heavier material, color differences, and a bit of a shine to the material, + some minor sizing differences from actual GI BDUs. Haven't tried viewing under UV, but highly doubtful that they would do anything other than glow like the sun. All that being said, they do seem to be fairly sturdy and well constructed. Belt-loops are slightly larger than GI issue, which is a plus. Pockets are a little shallow compared to GI issue. Price to quality (from testing so far) is pretty good. Not a bad overall work pant, or for general Thrash-Metal/Grind-Core uniform, but would not recommend as a stand in for tactical use.

I was in the military 35 years ago, and still have dozens of old uniform pants (BDUs and ABUs). And these cargo pants are the closest thing to original authentic military issue. From what I understand, I believe Rothco IS a military supplier. So if you want the real military fit and durability, these are what you want. They have several different camo patterns, as well as standard uniform and safety colours. I currently work on an airport ramp, and the pants take a lot of abuse. The particular airline I work for makes you buy pants from someone else (only because they'll pay for it). But they never fit, are quite uncomfortable (an Adult XL feels like a child's medium), and only last a few months. So I ended up purchasing these Rothco cargo pants instead, and the first pair lasted more than a year and a half before I had to replace them. I swear by them now, and will always purchase from this brand. They might be slight more expensive, but well worth it. Don't bother with anyone else.

great pants, well made. A little more $$ than others but Rothco make the best that I`ve seen. Fit true to size.

My Hubby loved them. Great quality

These pants fit really well, the size chart is accurate. The quality of the material is good, they're pretty durable, and the stitching is strong.

Good quality pants. Well made.

Over the years I have bought various Rothco BDU clothing. Pants, Shorts, Jackets and Shirts. Can not fault the quality and the fit. They are all very well made and are comfortable to wear. These latest purchases were the Smokey Branch BDU Pants. I love this particular camouflage colour. Amazon had a reduced price on these particular items so I purchased several pairs.

Fit perfect for a 32" waist. Little bit snug. Recommend size large if you like pants to fit loose. Arrived in great time. Pants are great quality for the price.
