This is a summer weight (or hot weather) woodland ripstop BDU jacket in size Large/Regular. The old cotton BDU's tend to fit smaller than standard BDU's, so please check the measurements below. The jacket is in used, excellent condition. The color is strong and there are no holes or tears. It looks like it was hardly used.



The hot weather combat uniform was developed out of the original dissatisfaction with the heavyweight twill BDU's. Originally they were made of 100% cotton ripstop, but in the early 1990's this was replaced with the 50% cotton, 50% nylon "NYCO". Oddly enough, the decision to forego the 100% cotton design in favor of the cotton and nylon blend was based almost entirely on the durability of the uniforms and the cost associated with replacing them. This is a 100% cotton uniform. These were known for their comfort and breathability.



The summer weight uniforms were by far the preferred BDU's among field soldiers in both summer and winter.
