Military ACU/BDU question

[Tenifer17]

On these new uniforms that the Army is using , do they have buttons and zippers for the groin/Fly area or is it all velcro ?  The reason I ask is that my old hunting cothes are about worn out and I'd like to go with the new style army unifroms for the sake of having so many pockets. Especially when muzzleloading and carrying extra bullets, powder pellets and other equiptment.

 So is the "fly" velcro and are the pockets velcro too ? I do like the velcro alot better than zippers which get hung up so much .

ACU:

Pants:  Fly Buttoned, Cargo pockets Velcro or button depending on manufacturer

Top:  Zipper in the front, pockets are all velcro

 

BDU's:  All button's.

 

I would recommend the BDU's for your purpose.  The Velcro on the ACU's wears out quickly and opening them makes a lot of noise.  

 

If you ever make it up to the Clarksville area there are tons of surplus stores that have plenty of serviceable BDU's for decent prices.

 Thanks for the information . That newer grayish greenish digital stuff blends in kinda good where I hunt in the winter. Thanks  c.a.wilard
