British Army MTP Combat Pants

Excellent UK military quality, very light wear. Very satisfied.

Material (67/33 polyester/cotton) is light but not flimsy. Belt loops are sized for a military pistol belt (3")--no surprise for me, but be aware.

Sizing appears to be accurate. At 5'11" and 210ish, the 85/112/128 UK military size (per the label in the pants) is a good fit in length and waist. (I believe the sizing is 85 for length and 112 for waist, in centimeters.)

Fit is exactly as specified. Mine were new in wrapper with tags and washing instructions and smelled new from the factory.

Very well designed, very nice fitting. Great extra features like velcro tear opens at the ankles to lace up boots, etc. Great pants, gonna buy more.

These pants are soft, thin and light-weight. They should vent well and be comfortable in warm weather. I am not sure how well they will hold up against thick brush and thorns, however.

The pants I received have mild color fading and moderate wear. They have the soldier's name written on the tags and along the inner waist line. One pair has a faint purple stain on the leg (ink pen rupture?). No rips or material fraying was present.

The front, slashed thigh pockets are unfortunately made of mesh and may snag on keys and wear-out more quickly than a normal cloth pocket. The left, front pocket had both mesh and cloth compartments, however. The large, outer thigh pockets are made of cloth with button closures and there is one small, cloth rear pocket.

Overall, these are well-used combat pants that should still have some life left in them. A bit expensive for their condition but not too unreasonable as MTP camo is hard to find outside of the UK.

I am a 38-40" waist depending on retailer. Chose the 39" with a 31" inseam and fit perfect. I did also buy a 38" waist (same inseam) and not even close to fitting around my gut.

Quality - Well used with no rips or tears. Have that thin, broken in feel to them and will make a great pair of warm weather pants. Do not expect base exchange quality. These come in wrapped in a small plastic bag. Excellent for backpack use as takes a very small amount of space.

Hope this helps in your decision.
