Fabric wise..

Whats the big difference between these and the 'real' multicams?


These are "real" MultiCams as the fabric is provided by one of Crye's authorized fabric manufacturers. The MultiCam labels are on the garments also.

Both are made of 65%Polyester/35%Cotton. As noted, the BDU is twill while the ACU is ripstop. Some of the other manufacturers out there went with the 50/50 NYCO which is NIR-compliant but is also more expensive. We figured that since the pattern is not officially used by the military, we would come out with the 65/35 Poly/Cotton since the primary markets would be domestic and did not need the NIR properties.

The look and feel is similar to the 50/50 NYCO but we wanted to make it as affordable as possible.

So why is it that none of the Multicam pants or jackets come in Short sizes? Did 1/3 of the world just decide without me that they didn't need multicam?

I noticed that too. For some reason the airforce camo pants and jackets are available in a different (better) size range, but the ACU/BDU series isn't.

Yeah, although I can theoretically cut/hem the pants, in reality it doesn't work so well because the reinforced knees end up at the tops of my shins. OK when you buy an $8 pair of used woodycams, not so coll for a $30+ pair of pants.

The BDUs have limited sizing available but the ACU cut has short sizes for small, medium and large.

L/L unless you are headed to a flooded town

6'3" (75") is at the upper scale of a long and lower scale of an extra-long. It's definitely not a regular.

Also check the leg inseam: 32 1/2-35 1/2" is considered long.

You can see the sizing charts here: Propper Sizing Charts

So ACU pattern or BDU pattern? Truth told I'll probably only ever wear the pants. The only times i wear a BDU top is as a light jacket with jeans or as a cover gramet for sims training.

I think which weight of fabric you want would be the deciding factor. Wouldn't the twill be kinda heavy for CA?

I have a pair of sort of hiking pants that have those acu pockets on the lower leg, I can't see using them as it would bang around, though I have seen GIs keep stuff in there, seems like it'd be an annoyance unless you were just sitting down standing watch or something.

Depends on the weave. I have a pair of the propper 65% Poly/35% cotton, brown BDU, pants and they are the most comfy pair i own. Very soft.

It's been going on awhile as a joke.  The difference between me and most people, Is I don't have to edit.  98% of them have to edit.  2 pump chumps.  I'm the page owning God cause I do it without editing.
