From the land of the Glock, these pants "just work" and work... and keep on working. In fact, the co-founder of KommandoStore (pictured) wore his pair daily for a multi-year period between late 2015 and early 2018. Now you might be saying "that's a little strange Ivan" and you would be right — but no one has ever faulted strange people for a lack of attention to detail now, have they?
Manufactured as part of the Austrian BDU system, the M75 pants are made from the same fabric compositions commonly found in Austrian BDU shirts. This batch seems to be evenly split between a 50/50 cotton nylon blend and a 67/33 nylon rayon blend. Both are equally durable — your choice really comes down to fabric weight and your personal preference.
The 50/50 blended pants are slightly heavier and have a more muted "stonewashed" appearance. By contrast, the 67/37 M75s are a more vibrant green color and are slightly thinner due to the compact synthetic fibers.
Whichever blend you choose, rest assured you are buying quality. These pants have proved extremely durable for generations of Austrian conscripts and are plenty sturdy for the rest of us.
They are lightweight, comfortable, and good for warm, cold, and any other temperature in between. Dirt, scrapes, and scuffs that would destroy your jeans are laughed at mockingly in Austrian — what’s that? Oh, our intern is telling us that “Austrian” isn’t a language. Fine. Just imagine Arnold Schwarzenegger giving a full-muscled belly chuckle then. From your pants.
Comes with two spacious cargo pockets and literally the best front pockets we've ever seen on a pair of pants.
Specs
- Double-stitched vertical slash hand-pockets
- These pockets are perfect for modern phones. The square, roomy design means the rectangular smartphone bulge doesn't look like a tumor on your thigh
- The outside top corner of the pocket undergoes the most stress. So, it is reinforced with an internal square stress patch, sewn into the corner from the inside of the pants
- Seven wide 1.3" belt loops.
- Keeps your belt and any other gear or tools like carabiners or lanyards locked in
- 7.5" by 7.45" cargo pockets give you a lot of carrying capacity
- These cargo pockets are tapered on one side, which helps reduce obnoxious pocket sway when loaded
- Both pockets have a covered button closure to reduce snags
- The left leg cargo pocket has a small-buttoned compartment inside the pocket. Perfect for holding slim/minimalist wallets
- Classic five-button fly, just like your favorite raw denim jeans. With enough use these pants will break in like your favorite jeans too.

Great Pants
Alright, I know you're reading the reviews to check out sizing. I too, was too nervous to message KS, but I'll give you my experience to help your decision!
I'm 5’7 with a 32 inch true waist size (think Levi's size 30). The length is just about right, but it wouldn't be disastrous to have it longer to cuff a bit or tactically tuck. The waist is nearly perfect as well, but I'll describe it a bit... it seems to want to sit closer to the hips, which means your nads will already be tucked up away and you can slav squat without the groin crushing that comes with such a thing normally. However, I've gained some tummy (165 pounds of pure alcohol abuse) during the Roni which will be signifigant if you wear these up on your hips, as you'll be hitting the top bottom right below your bellybutton. Not a huge deal, hit the gym or leave the top button off and keep drinking 30 pbrs a day. I've elected to do the latter and enjoy the panty lines that such a tight fit gives me. Thicc thighs lead to tight groupings, or something.
Materials are amazing. I got the 70/30 poly viskose, which is a bizarre fabric. It feels so thin that it seems cheap, but is strong like 18oz unsanforized denim. Really quality stuff.
Front pockets are a lot like Chino pockets, but have a wide opening at top, which makes using them pretty easy. I prefer pockets that are more reachable from the sides, but this way shit won't fall out so easy.
Also, there is little to no taper from the knee down, so you can embrace…

Great looking and comfortable; women should size up!
I got these to be useful utility pants that look better than your typical cargo pants, and they fit the bill! Really comfortable, and the pockets are well-placed so they are useful but not annoyingly bulky.
The only criticism I have is the fit, but since I'm a woman buying men's pants, I expected that. The waistband design is simple enough that they will be fairly easy to alter to fit. Specifically, I had to go several sizes up to get it to fit in the hips, which means now they are really loose through the waist. If like me you are a woman with wide hips who likes to wear men's pants, it can be done! Just know that you should buy them considerably larger than you would otherwise (quite possibly a LOT larger than you expect), and either learn to take in the waist or hire someone to do it.

Working pants
Fit around the waist perfect, just a little long. Cant tell tho when you wear hiking boots. Look brand new and will be planning on getting a lot of use out of them for years to come.
