Description
These are desert night camo pants that were used in the US Military. The camo was made to disrupt Soviet era night vision equipment, however it was quickly proven to be ineffective. These trousers run a little large. You can wear them over the standard BDU uniform as an additional layer during cold desert nights. The trousers have pocket flaps for accessing waist and cargo pockets, as well as full back pockets.
This is an awesome post Cold War camo that is getting harder to find!
Features:
- Outer Layer Clothing – Clothing is sized to fit over other clothing of the same size. For example, if you select size Medium, it will fit over base layers in size Medium. Outer Layer Clothing worn stand alone will fit typically one size up.
- Pass Through Pocket Flaps – Open Flap pockets for reaching through and accessing layers worn underneath.
- Waist Drawstring – These pants have a drawstring that allows the wear to adjust the waist to the perfect size.
- Desert Night Camo Pattern – Designed in the 1980’s, the pattern was intended to defeat Soviet Era first generation night vision equipment. The pattern was found to quickly be inadequate in effectiveness as night vision technology had advanced beyond the camos ability to disrupt and confuse. Manufacture and issue of the pattern stopped in the mid 1990s as a result. Saw limited use in the Gulf War and with US SOF units. These days it’s just a cool pattern.

Received my pair just yesterday. These pants are absolutely amazing. They look great. And I agree with Nicholas, Venture Surplus is a really great site with great prices (Kind of unrelated but he makes a good point). Anyway, pants are 10/10!
