I ask because they are different and have different options... the US military issue, for example, has all of those lovely pockets that I adore. Civilian issue has all of it's varieties, but usually not enough pockets. I love BDU's because they're roomie and have pockets for all of my stuff. I rrely wear anything else as far as pants go, including the shorts version. (as opposed to cargo shorts/pants, which aren't as well mae)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>The gear is similar to US Military issue, but with a different color scheme and a more lightweight feel.  It has plenty of pockets, more pockets than you probably know what to do with.  It has patches for pens and paper, cubbies for electronic devices (including your MONA), little pouches for collecting miscellaneous items, deep pockets for storing large items, and even a small insulated pouch beneath the arm for items that need to stay warm.  They're a good fit and well enough warm.<br/><br/>I'm not very familiar with BDU's or military vs. civilian arctic kit, so feel free to include things I missed or overlooked on the fly.<br/>
