Austria’s Bundesheer has different pant types in ample supply. This a light hot weather model in a bright green color. Just flamboyant enough, comfy, durable summer pants for all your adventuring needs. One-off lot!
These pants here are pretty solid, like most of the clothing items that the Bundesheer puts out. They’re the Anzug 75 model cargo pants – but with a funnier color. We don’t know what esoteric unit these were issued to if any. Maybe a tired Oberstleutnant got a good deal on some leftover fabric and ordered these on his last days in the service. In either case, we’re talking about a pair of pants with a nice cut and good, breathable, fast-drying rip-stop fabric.
Anzug 75 pants are fairly straight, so a good fit at the waist is unlikely to be baggy elsewhere. If your waist size is at the recommended maximum and you are considering between two sizes, the larger one will have room for movement.
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.

Surprisingly, there are no weird stains on these, just a light sprinkling of storage dust. However, some minor repairs might’ve been done here or there. Other than that, they’re in good shape.
