US FRACU Pants, OCP, surplus

Real deal used FRACU uniform trousers straight from the US Army warehouses. A damn good pair of combat trousers! These are Multicamouflaged and are made of the considerably expensive TenCate Defender M fabric. Otherwise these are your standard ACU-trousers, which isn't a bad thing.

The trousers have two front pockets, two back pockets, two cargo pockets, and small ankle pockets. The cargo pockets are huge and can be tightened with an elastic band. All pockets, except the front pockets, are closed with velcro flaps. All in all, the cut is well thought out and very practical. FRACU means Fire Resistant Army Combat Uniform.

Material

Made of no less than fire-resistant, self-extinguishing TenCate Defender M. Proven in combat and saved many a soldier from burns, it should serve anyone pretty well. If we were to sell this fabric new, it would cost nearly 40 EUR per meter. The fabric has Permethrin-based insect protection and NIR protection. Material 65% FR rayon, 25% Para-aramid, 10% Nylon.

Although the garment can be washed at 40 degrees Celsius (104 F), civilian washing might hamper the effectiveness of said treatments. However, the US Army tells us that these treatments remain effective for 25 washings. Washed inside out. Do not iron. Hang dry.

Genuine US issue!

Yes! Not that we love the USA and everything it does, but damn, their stuff is good. These are used and in excellent condition, washed once or twice at most. Because they only issue new stuff to the soldiers, these have been liquidated.
