BBDU Compared to Coastguard ODU

[Brit_in_CAP]

Purely a question for personal interest....

I'm considering purchasing the BBDU as opposed to a new set of BDU.  There's lots of advice on Captalk about what to buy so I won't ask that again but I did think that the BBDU looks very similar to the Coastguard ODU and I was wondering, purely for my own information, if they are the same?

No, they are not the same

The Coast Guard ODU is a different uniform than the CAP Corporate Field Uniform. It does not have the lower pockets that the CFU has. I believe the color shades are slightly different as well, but don't quote me on that.

Different color, different material, different design. But other than that it's the same.

UDC stocks ODUs without the embroidery on the right chest, and trouser pockets for NOAA... doubt you would find them in the wild.

They are 50/50 Nylon/Cotton Ripstop.

Except ODUs aren't authorized for CAP wear...
