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.

Pretty good but watch your ass
I ordered size 88-92 V-VI. I've got a 29"/74cm waist and this fit pretty well around the waist. I might even need a belt. Problem is, it's pretty tight around the seat and crotch, so be warned those with a dump truck ass or immense genitals.
Otherwise, quite a nice fit, combined with a tapered pinroll (see my left leg) or regular cuff (right leg). These pants are sturdy and Austrian enough that I can see myself wearing these for the next many generations.

They do be pants tho
Ordered a size up and kind of regret it but nothing a belt can't fix. Comfortable right out of the box and only get better the more wears you put em through. Color is very nice too, not drab at all! Good for everyday wear through rugged outdoors work, definitely not going to tear up easy.

I love these pants!
I ordered two that were a size up...they are way too big but I still wear them due to how versatile and warm they are without causing sweat. I'm out in the elements all day and I usually tear through lesser pants within two weeks. Not these babies, they still run a little big even with the 32-34 size equivalents but nothing a belt won't solve.
If there's anything on this site to buy, it's these pants. I've never been so satisfied and impressed with the durability, comfort and ability of these pants to hold up to my insane job that I do. I'm out in the elements and I perform hard labor in harsh conditions and these pants hold up just fine, if not better, than me.

Bretty good
very nice pants will make you feel strong like arnie but for some reason the first front belt loops on both the left and right side are too small to fit either of my surplus belts and i have to wrestle with my thinnest leather belt to get it in, although all the other belt loops fit every belt no problem. might not be an issue if you have an austrian surplus belt but i havent been able to test it.

Fancy Pants
I can see why someone would wear these every single day for years on end. The tri-button fly can be a little hard to get used to but it's easy to operate once you get used to it at the cost of making your fingertips sore. The size I got fits pretty good but I do need a belt to stop them from sagging. When mixed with the field shirts, you look downright green. Unless you're colorblind.
Worth noting that these are not thin pants but once you get down to below freezing, you're going to need some underlayer warmth.
