Civilian ACUs?

[Scuba Steve33]

Does anyone know of any type of pants out there that are identical (or as close as possible) as ACU bottoms? I know they aren't perfect pants but they weren't bad and for hiking and backpacking I'd love to wear a pair but I'm not wearing ACUs lol. I want them in solid colors. Thanks.

Also, check out 5.11's line of pants. I own a pair and they are great. They make a lot of clothes for LEOs and security.

QM Uniforms brand BDU's are fairly inexpensive

Tru-Spec makes a Tactical Response Uniform that's cut very similar to the ACUs... they're popular with a lot of SWAT/SRT units in my area.

Propper makes some good stuff, mil-spec. Propper.com

I've seen people dye them

I was in civilians for the last year I was in the Army and I put these two brands through some pretty tough situations.

5.11 tactical the 100% cotton are nice and thick, the rip stop Polyester blend are pretty nice.
LA Police gear has its own brand and they feel like traditional ACU's just in solid colors, but they can rip like tradition ACU's

2nd VOTE for LA police gears operator pants they are very very similar too actual ACU's. I was having cargo pocket separation anxiety until I picked up a couple of sets. www.lapolicegear.com also has the 5.11's so you can check them both out. I will say having owned both the 5.11 and the LA police gear operator pants you cannot go wrong with the 19.99 La Police gear operator pants.

I just got 4 pairs of the LAPG operator pants, their $20 BOB, a tshirt and a shemagh for $10.30 shipping.

YMMV

LA Police Gear has great prices on their pants as well as good discounts on the 5-11 gear.
