Where to get BDU pants with elastic waistband?

[Ivan]

My brother picked up some USMC woodland MARPAT from one of the base stores here (Pendleton) and it has an elastic waistband - he says they are alot more comfortable running around. I'm always pulling up my pants after a few hours of running around and it's always been that way. It's getting annoying.

  So I looked all over but all I could find was ABU and the USMC current pattern issue pants. I want woodland and multicam. Any brand recommendations?

The Frog Defender M version has the elastic waistband, and flame resistant. I can tell you, much more comfortable than Propper, and other crap brands. The guy I met was local, try craigslist man, I got mine for $25.

If you can't find ones with elastic waistbands, there's always the option of sewing on some buttons and wearing suspenders.

You would have to checksurplus stores those are the old issue ones where even the leg pocket has elastic too

I can't find anything in the way of stretchy waistbands for woodland patterned ones, but Vertx offers a multicam pant that does. Its a 50/50 Nyco blend and I use the 65/35 Kahki blend for work, so far so good. The only problem is that the VERTX VTX1000 in multicam costs almost $100.

FWIW, I play wearing 'Y' shaped Diickies suspenders from Walmart.. They have plastic ends that hook, not clip on my belt. Pretty Bombproof.

update - I found some BDU's from a paintball store that are pretty badass -- they are called V-tac 'Sierra' BDU pants. not as paintbally as the "zulu" line. 




Description:

The Sierra Pant was designed to blow the conventional BDU pant out of the water while maintaining a comparable price point. An adjustable Velcro waist, padded knees reinforced with 1000D nylon, 4-way stretch crotch and squeegee pockets give the V-Tac Sierra Pant the tactical advantage.
Features:

    Durable and breathable military spec camouflage material
    1000D nylon reinforced knee & shin pads
    Cargo side pocket on each leg
        Integrated squeegee pocket
        Built in gussets allow for major carrying capacity
    Gusseted 4-way stretch crotch panels for mobility
    Velcro & elastic adjustable waist + belt Loops
    Zip, Velcro & Button fly
    Two front pockets
    Two rear pockets with Velcro closure
    Drawstring ankle ties ­ keep your cuffs down around your boots, and the mud and ticks out
    Available in size S to 5XL.
    Also available in ACU, MARPAT, Tiger Stripe, Tactical Black & V-Cam

I also picked up the Zulu shirt - think FROG. to match. for around the same price as the regular combat shirts from Tru-spec except the material is like a Under-armor shirt instead of cotton

..Got yer squeegee yet?

[Ivan]

I refuse to pack a squeegee lol. Those don't look too paintball do they?  I wanna stay as milsim / high speed low drag as I can while being super comfy.   

Although the thought did cross my mind to buy some camo sweatpants and a camo shirt lol. No! Wait! Camo snuggie!!! Laziness meets airsofting!

-are you sniping? No I'm just laying in the grass waiting for them to come to ME! Lol

Ivan, you're so badass, a pink camisole would look tactical onya.
Yep, FROG looks, not gay paintball. I'd buy it.

Looking on Amazon, the pants are 70 bucks from FOGDOG w/free shipping..

[ThatGuy]

I was looking at some of those but I'm not ready to give up 75 bucks for a pair of pants.

[Ivan]

they're only 54$ here.

I was at comandpost lol
