Ever since leaving the military I have found myself wanting to wear the new style combat trousers.  I find them to be comfortable and durable and I get lonely without all the pockets.  I have really taken a liking to the new A-TACS pattern and wished I would have had access to this pattern rather than some of the other patterns currently in use.  The A-TACS FU pattern adapts very well to the environment here in Utah and the weight of the pants lends itself well to fall as well.  The sizing runs true to the military standard and the construction has been very durable.  This is the 5th pair of these I have purchased and none of them are showing any signs of thinning or falling apart.  What I am curious to see is if the coloration fades.  As with most clothing I suspect there will be some the question is how much.  In some of the Propper clothing I have had in the past the color has faded very quickly.  This particular pair of pants has been through only 4 washing so far and has not shown any noticeable fading.  I know there is the whole Propper vs Tru-Spec controversy out there but as A-TACS is only available from Propper if you want this pattern the choice is kinda made for you.  That being said I have not found any significant difference between Propper and Tru-Spec myself, I know, I know sacrilege right?  That aside, these pants have so far held up very well, they are very comfortable, have not faded to date (including the solid color versions I have) and have all the pockets that I became so accustomed to.  Because this is a "new" pattern the price point is a bit high.  I suspect that after a while it will drop though as happened with Multi-Cam.  Look forward to trying the A-TACS FG pattern in the green of my native Oregon.
