The long lived M2008 camo was iterated on quite a bit over Turkey's history, and in the midst of a few interesting political changes in their country the Gendarmerie got a decidedly desert coloration of M2008 "nano" camouflage.
Unlike later pieces the garment itself still has some of that late 90s-early 2000s design, feeling a lot like a classic US BDU. It's great kit and a great fit no matter which physical (or digital) crusade happens by the time it enters your collection.

Sizing
Turkey finally gained sense for this particular BDU, and used standard 'Small, Medium, Large' sizing along with standardized heights. Slightly smaller waist fit than standard US BDU's. TL;DR if you're a Size Medium-Reg in US BDU's we'd recommend going for a Turkish Large, B Height.
These pants are cool they wear well, I'm just not a big fan of some of the stitching coming loose and the drawstring around the ankles not much adjustability.
True fit, good condition, good stuff
After my issues with the sizing on the M2021 pants, I made sure to scroll all reviews first. I wear a 34 waist and these fit just a touch big, but that's what belts are for. Lots of room to move, big pockets, and a badass pattern.
Great fit and super comfortable... kinda of like the towels you get at the 5star hotels.
Snag yourself some Turkish milsurp pants before they’re gone! I bought a pair for fall and winter patrols through my local landscape and cannot complain, the camo pattern is sweet, the pants fit well and at this rate, I should’ve bought two pair while my size was available… - Thanks KS! 😎
