BDU Pants

BDU Pants

BDU (battle dress uniform) pants are a long-time favorite for training, field work, security and everyday wear thanks to their roomy cut and cargo pockets. This category holds BDU trousers in solid colors and camo patterns, ripstop and twill fabrics, 50/50 nylon-cotton (NYCO) and 100% cotton, button-fly and zipper-fly versions, vintage paratrooper and M-65 style field pants, denim and stretch BDU cargos, plus kids' and women's styles.

How to choose

  • Fabric: Ripstop resists small tears from spreading; twill has a smoother face. NYCO blends add durability, while 100% cotton feels softer and breathes well.
  • Fly: Button flies are traditional and simple to repair; zipper flies are quicker to use.
  • Fit: Classic BDUs are cut loose with adjustable waist tabs. Relaxed fit and stretch versions add comfort for long shifts.
  • Color: Choose black, navy or khaki for uniform wear, or a camo pattern for field and outdoor use.
