Men's TRU-SPEC BDU Basics Pants 1829 Tactical Reviews, Deals, Problems and Guides

These are not modern tight fittin' pants. If you want that go to the tight fittin' pants store or buy some skinny jeans. These pants are for the very active person that is required to bend, stoop, reach, low/high crawl, squat and climb for occupation requirements and physical training. Try doing that in those modern tight fittin' pants. There's plenty of room in the seat and legs for those of us who require this type of clothing. These are perfect for the Range, Obstacle Courses, Training Academies and the like. The pant legs fit perfectly over boots, high tops or athletic (sneakers) shoes. Additionally, these can be worn for travel (plenty of pockets), outdoor sports (fishing, hunting, hiking, etc). I even wear mine for casual events. During the colder months, I wear a light weight merino wool long underwear and it keeps me plenty warm. For size comparison, I am 6'4", 235#, slim to medium build (no gut), 40" waist. Size XL Long or 40" x 36" fits me perfectly. Extremely satisfied with my purchase.

I purchased these as an alternative to the Blue BDUs available for the Civil Air Patrol from Vanguard. Those are also Tru-Spec, but they are the “winter-weight” twill blend of fabric. These Poly/Cotton Ripstop are a great “summer weight” alternative. The Navy color is a perfect match for the heavier weight version which is to be expected since it’s the same manufacturer, but I couldn’t be sure they didn’t make a custom dye for Vanguard and CAP. Turns out, the Navy is exactly the same. As an added bonus, they were much cheaper. Not an insignificant consideration when purchasing your own uniforms. Otherwise, they are a standard set of military pattern BDUs with all of the pros and cons associated with them. The material and construction seem consistent and acceptable. These are exactly what I was hoping they would be. If you are a senior member of the Civil Air Patrol and choose to wear the Corporate Uniform over the ugly ABU uniform, this is exactly what you’ve been looking for.

They were definitely long enough for my long-legged husband. He is a 33-34 waist so I bought the medium. They were very tight in the waist area and tho he could've gone to a large for the waist,, the legs on the medium were huge. Like clown pants. Really. We sent them back. The Propper pants fit much better. So waist is true to size, length is long, and legs are huge

I'm 6', 200 lbs and wear jeans size 33 waist x 34 length because I like my pants to have plenty of length, even when I sit. The jeans 33 waist, which I just wore yesterday tend to sag, but not fall off- I can carry a small IWB in them. These Tru-Spec BDU are solidly made, and the length is okay- bordering on too long, but the waist is much smaller than stated. These are extra tight, even with the adjustable waist straps let all the way out. I ordered a Medium-Long, which is supposed to fit waist 32-34 according to the size chart while the pant's tag says 31 to 35 waist and 32 -1/2 to 35- 1/2 inseam. The true length is definitely at the max and the waist is definitely closer to the small end. I haven't washed them yet, but have removed the tags, so I will keep them, but since they contain cotton, I probably will not be able to fit in them after they are washed. I like the look and ruggedness, but the fit is not as stated.

This is not my size by far, it does feel like clown pants as a customer previously said. Too long I'm 5'6" tall with a waist of 36/38. So very disappointed in both Pairs of Pants that I ordered and the Bicycle patrol shirt I got from your company. All 3 items are too big.

I found the pants to be very comfortable and had extra bonuses such as a zipper fly and cell phone pockets. My only complaint is that after washing the pants a few times, the seams have already started coming out of several areas.

These are perfect in every way.

Far better than other sites. Zipper fly is main reason I purchased these. A little more baggy in leg than I am used to, but tolerable. Takes a few wash/wear cycles to get the "swoosh" out when you walk. Overall great quality for the price.

So far I've only been wearing them for a few days. So I can't really say that I've put them thru any real wear and tear type situations. But I am enjoying wearing them. They feel very comfortable and fit perfectly. I ordered them slightly larger than the previous pair that I bought. Due to the fact that, that pair seemed to have shrunk slightly. ( Mostly in the legs or bottom ) which I was abit suprised about. So I ordered this pair slightly longer in length to compensate for that Possiblity. Again. So far I don't have any complaints.

These are a little baggier than my 5.11 pants, but are well stitched, and the price is great.

I ordered the incorrect size (read the sizing chart closely!). Had to exchange for the correct size. Excellent customer service! They took care of it quickly, as I needed these extra pants for shifts where I have to change out after covid exposures. Thank you!
