I beg to differ somewhat: BDU trousers are a lot more comfortable if one has a more or less normal body shape. When I do field work I wear the trousers because they're comfy and resistant to thorns and dry quickly.

The shirts kind of suck. I like lighter material probably because of where I live and work. I don't wear any of the rest of the uniform. Okay, I have a pair of jungle boots which are absolutely the best footwear for where I work.

I don't wear any part of the uniform in town because I think it is mildly disrespectful of the people in the militaryto wear parts of the uniform in which they take pride in proper appearance. Also I prefer to blend into a crowd rather than stand-out.
