Title: BDU Un-Package & Un-Deal
Post by: MIKE on August 16, 2008, 12:30:17 AM
If you are looking for The Hocks BDU Package Deals, this ain't it.  BDU components listed here guaranteed not to suck, and also guaranteed to cost real money.

EHWBDU Trousers (http://www.uscav.com/prod_5384_tabID_548&cmCS=1) - NYCO Ripstop

Boot Socks (http://www.uscav.com/Productinfo.aspx?productID=5544&TabID=548) - Black, 3 pack 

I'd make a list up for the Field Uniform... but while I've found navy blue shirts and trousers of comparable construction, I've yet to find a matching BDU cap that doesn't suck.

Seems a little pricey on the BDU hat. This is AAFES/NEX:
QuoteEnhanced Hot Weather BDU Cap Price...$4.30   
This cap is made of 80% cotton/20% nylon twill. Machine washable. (DSCP)

I thought Ranger Joes had blue BDU hats identical material/quality to the BDU ones, but I'm just seeing black there & it's listed at $10 also. I know there's several sources though.

This is a nice post, you should sticky it.

I heard Wigwam socks are great for long hikes.
