Austrian Anzug 03 Cargo Pants, Lightweight, Surplus

Current issue Austrian summer military cargo pants. The cut is even better than on the BDU trousers! Used surplus.

The Austrian Bundesheer actually seems to think of the end-users when designing field clothes! These have a really good cut, thin ripstop fabric, zippered fly, and elastic adjustments at the cuffs. In some cases, the strings have been cut off, but they are easily replaced because the channels are still there. Reinforced knees, as usual.

• Zipper fly
• Drawcord tightening on the cuffs (can be easily removed if found unnecessary)
• 4 cm wide belt loops
• 1.5" wide belt loops
• Normal slash pockets and zippered cargo pockets
• Reinforcements on the knees
• Made of lightweight and comfortable 67/33 poly-cotton blend

Size info

Anzug 03 cargo pants are sized generously at the hips and thighs. The legs are on the short side and taper quite a bit – these were intended to be worn with combat boots. Many people prefer a longer size.

These are made in various widths and lengths – just like jeans! The Austrian Bundesheer size in the brackets uses regular numbers for the width and Roman numerals for the length. Even in the case of pants, the width is based on chest size, as is common in Europe. The assumption is that a regular man will have a waist 12 cm (~5") smaller than his chest.

Condition

Used, but in serviceable condition. Expect a bit faded fabric and some well-made repairs. Some might have small holes too or other signs of use and the elastic cuff adjustments might be gone.
