What's better ACUs or BDUs?

[Delta Farce]

I think ACUs. BDUs just aren't all purpose. Plus digital looks better.

Thats it? Major fail on the post. At least try and stretch it into more than one line if you don't want to make the effort to ask an insightful question. I mean, I could just ask "Why is the sky blue?" but what a crappy discussion that would be.

It depends on what you are doing. I like wearing BDU's for cross-country litter carry and also for spinning but I like to wear ACU's just because they feel real good and look real good. It's weird I rolled the ACU sleeves up(at home don't say i was out of regulation, I was in shorts and a t-shirt) the USMC/USN way and they looked good and felt reall comfortable. WHy doesn't the army start rolling the sleeves up the USMC/USN way(you cant roll them up Army, Air Force way).

I really don't care , but I think most of the men and women in uniform only care which one will keep them well hidden and blended with their surroundings (this is purely my opinion and it may or maynot be true.)

BDU's are way better.

1. The Battle Dress camouflage actually WORKS. Wear ACU's anywhere, you're being spotted.
2. BDU's are more durable. My pair of ACU's, I've had for a year. They've already started to rip. The BDU's I've had for about four? Goin' strong.
3. I find BDU's to be more comfortable to wear than the ACU.

ACU's are much more comfortable. BDU's are much more durable and work a lot better. About the only thing I've seen were ACU's work better than BDU's is in tall grass and sage brush. That's about it. Everywhere else BDU's are better.

I've got a set of DCu's they are the best. Think how comfortable ACU's are and the durability and the good looks of BDU's with the ability to roll up sleeves.

I think the BDUs are more durable because they're made of a more thick material. Unfortunately, this also makes them hotter to wear. I'd never wear BDUs out in the desert, and then again I'd never wear ACUs when I'm getting rough. As for looking good, I think the ACUs look better, but if they can't keep you cammoflauged, what's the point? It's weird, the ACUs are like a cross between a forest and a desert cammo, but in general I think they work better in the desert.

You guys know they make summer and winter weight BDU's,DCU's and other uniforms.

For my purposes I like BDU's a lot better. I live in the north so it gets cold in the winters (try down to 0 degrees and below) and in the summer it gets up to the hundreds on really hot days. I find that BDU's are warmer, but because you can roll up the sleeves when it is hot it is efficient in any condition. I do however like the look of the ACU. If I had the choice I would stick with my nice and worn in BDU's
