Romanian Cargo Pants, DPM, Surplus, Unissued
Really nice, practical, and durable Romanian army cargo pants in the DPM camo pattern. These are for fighting and these are for fun. Unused, so no ass and ball sweat stains included. And very nice price indeed. A one-off batch, which means that once they are gone, you have to walk without pants.

Really nice, practical, and durable Romanian army cargo pants in the DPM camo pattern. These are for fighting and these are for fun. Unused, so no ass and ball sweat stains included. And very nice price indeed. A one-off batch, which means that once they are gone, you have to walk without pants.
Features
These are pretty traditional cargo pants without many weird surprises. Comfortable cut so you can do pretty much anything the drill sergeant tells you. Two spacious side pockets, two large cargo pockets with button closure, and one buttoned back pocket. Drawcords on the waist and pant legs. Very wide belt loops, you can fit up to an 8 cm (3.2”) "Testo Tim" belt through them. Button fly. The camouflage pattern is known as Disruptive Pattern Material, or simply DPM among friends.
DPM is a British camouflage pattern that Romanians nick... adopted to their use in the early 2000s in a couple of versions. It has been suspected that clothes were even made from British surplus fabric, but who knows.
Materials and care
Made from sturdy 100% ripstop polyester. Wash at 40 degrees Celsius (104 F).
Choosing the right size
The first figure refers to the waist circumference and the second one to the leg length. The larger the first figure is, the bigger the ass you can fit in these. And for some strange reason, the bigger the latter figure is, the shorter the legs can be. The sizes can vary a couple of cms (up to an inch) here or there within one size. I guess it isn’t such a biggie in Romania.
We have included the recommended user height and the average waist circumference of the pants in brackets. The difference between the waist measurement of the 50-I and 50:0 isn’t a typo. Even though the measurement should be exactly the same, it kinda isn’t. The Romanian measurement system seems to be more of an art than an exact science.
If you take a bit loose-fitting pants, you can tighten them quite nicely with the drawcord on the waist.
Condition
Unissued Romanian military surplus. Clean and intact. All the ones that we checked seemed to have the year 2009 but there can of course be other batches as well.

I've worn them in warm weather as protection against Aedes (ankle-biter) mosquitoes, and the drawstrings at the trouser cuffs are a huge plus in this regard. While the material isn't the same as that used on the CS95 windproof smock, the trousers should work well together with the smock or CS95 ripstop parka in cool temperatures (especially with long underwear).
Another difference from the British-issue trousers is that these don't have the large "Canadian-style" buttons. The smaller buttons work fine for me as I haven't needed to use them while wearing gloves or mittens. If you aren't looking for historical-reenactor-authenticity, the Romanian issue are close enough.
