The perfect solution for good Scottish weather when it’s pouring rain or sleet sideways. They are meant to be worn on top of the regular pants but work on their own well enough. High quality yet affordable, what is this?

  • Unlined shell trousers to guard against the elements
  • Polyamide construction, with a Gore-Tex or Sympatex membrane
  • Generous cut: with only light clothing underneath, you can pick one size smaller than recommended

A simple and effective cut: zippered legs with velcro cuffs, elastic suspenders, and adjustment at the waist. These sometimes have a light liner fabric inside, sometimes not. The color varies from grayish olive drab to more brownish and greenish shades.

Materials and care

The shell material is usually 100 % polyamide, and the waterproof membrane is always Gore-Tex or Sympatex.

Machine-wash at 40 ºC (104 ºF) with a gentle cycle. Don't use softeners or brighteners.

Size info

The sizing runs very large as these are meant to be worn over normal clothing: the waistband is 12–13 cm (5") larger than the user's recommended waist size! If you intend to wear nothing but long johns under these, a smaller size can be the better choice.

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.

The size conversions and recommendations are based on our measuring work, customer feedback, and naturally wearing these ourselves. Don't get hung up on the numbers, though: surplus clothes often have variation.

Pay attention: the waist sizes below are recommended body measurements! The actual pants are larger for clearance.

Condition

Used Austrian military surplus but in perfectly serviceable condition. We cannot test every pair for complete waterproofness, but judging by the general appearance, these should be good.

Austrian surplus

Functional, neutral, clean. That's what the Austrian Bundesheer gear is made of. Our Austrian surplus revolves mostly around the Anzug 75 and Anzug 03 clothing systems, but who knows, maybe the "Tarnanzug Neu" will make it's appearance if the Austrians decide to clear the stocks in the future. Get your OD gear while the stocks last.

After the Second World War the Austrian soldier looked like a weird mixture of Allies and Germans; the M1 style helmet and general profile really tried to bring that NATO vibe up, but a lot of the gear and even the dotted camouflage pattern looked surprisingly much like WW2 German issue. In the 70s they took a major leap towards NATO with the introduction of the all-green Anzug 75 clothing and equipment system closely inspired by the American equivalents, finally letting go of the "old stuff". The Anzug 03 brought the game up to date with some changes in effort to modernize the whole thing. Now the Bundesheer is again moving over to camouflage.

Aikasta hyvät byysat etten sanoisi, paksuuden osalta sellaiset että pitkien kalsareiden ja reisitaskuhousujen päällä näillä pärjää hyvin kovemmassakin pakkasessa. Yksi tähti lähti kuoleentuneista henkselien kuminauhoista ja koska kankaiset henkselit pruukaa olla huonot tein kokonaan uudet käyttäen 25mm hihnanauhaa ja kuminauhaa.

Edit:
Nyt löytyi varastosta käytännössä iskemättömät byysat ja ilman vuorta. Henkselit edelleen yhtä surkeat, mutta se korjaantuu pienellä ompelukoneen käytöllä kuten aiemminkin. Tällä kertaa tehdäänkin 40mm hihnasta josko pysyivät paremmin päällä ja korjataan sitten toisiinkin.

The adjustments for width aren't as refined as the German models (these just have a string). The suspenders are also flimsier although they do offer better clasps.

The big advantage here is the the more neutral colour and the fact that the sizing system has a lot more options.

I am 34/35" waist and 186 cm tall. The medium long is almost too long, but I got the coat to match and they are top quality rain gear at a low price and great fit. Far better than the department store, cheaper, and fits better. The quality and fit of Austrian items is always perfect!

You are charging too little money for the quality of these trousers.
Very satisfied with the purchase.

Very good quality. Great product and great price. They are a little bit loud for deer hunting but add great warmth and water resistance.

I got the medium/regular. Says GoreTex on the label. I'm 177cm tall (5'10") the the leg fit is perfect. Mine came with 3 small repairs which are nicely done with a GoreTex patch on the inside. It's water resistant and by the smell, proofing was done recently. It's comfortable to wear and the braces don't rub and you can't feel them under a rucksac. They wick rain and sweat away from the body well. They dry quick. They turn away most thorns etc. They are very well made and zips are backed up by velcro. The fit is roomy. I use them as walking trousers and they are nice and light >500g. They are pretty much wind proof. The front zip is generous for calls of nature. If you unzip the side of the legs all the way up you can get them on and off without removing your boots as unzipped each leg has a GoreTex fanny flap up to half way above the knee. Good for cooling and drying while wearing. Great for walking on their own but a bit clammy feeling for the first mile of so. Good up to about 15degC on the move. Recommended

The ones I received appear to have been unissued. I have a 34”/35” waist and am 73” tall, and I ordered the medium-long version. Excellent fit for warm weather — somewhat slim (at least compared to the very baggy US military’s wet weather overpants) but not tight at all. Perfect for urban cycling in wet weather. IfI intended to wear these in cold weather with a thick insulating layer, I’d probably go up one size in the waist. But for my purposes, these are perfect as-is. A great deal at the current price of $30 USD.

Mine came with several professionally patched repairs, and have clearly seen quite a lot of use. The plastic strap retainer on the back was snapped on one side, but luckily it still holds in place as it should. They look like they should still be waterproof, just the luck of the draw with the condition, but still awesome for the price and should get a year or two use out of them. Sizing was spot on for me, and the features and build quality are top notch

These are pretty much new, old but new. Haven't tried it in the rain yet but my surplus austrian alpine goretex jacket hasn't let me down yet so i have no doubt this will hold up very well too. 180cm 34/32"W-32"L and the medium regular was perfect for me.
