There is a reason that every military and many police forces use some form of BDU/ACU Cargo Pants. They are durable, comfortable, and can carry a lot of gear. This makes them perfect for everything from hiking to hunting and fishing. Keep the gear you need close at hand. When I’m hiking there is a Multi-Tool, some Fuel Bars and some other goodies on me at all times. With these cargo pockets I can carry so much gear discretely.
These Cargo Pants are great for year round wear. They are light enough for comfortable warm weather wear and make a great base layer when it gets colder. They are water resistant and the Duratex Ripstop Fabric can take a lot of abuse. That means that if you are washing them in a stream with some sand and pebbles, they are going to hold up.
These BDU/ACU Cargo Pants are perfect for everyday wear as well. The Khaki Pants go with just about everything and are perfect for any casual setting. This means that if I need to jump into action on short notice, I can quickly load up my pockets and get going.
