100% ripstop cotton BDU material...

[BruiseLeee]

Is this stuff as bad as denim when wet or is the 60/40 polyester blend better?

If you mean is it heavy when wet and takes a long time to dry out in certain spots? ... "crotch" ... Yeap hehe. I have a pair of each in woodland , and the 60/40 are much nicer all around. The pure cotton seem too bulky for me to feel like im moving freely. If that makes sense... just my opinion.

I would imagine that it is as bad as denim when wet, since both are constucted of the same material; only difference is the manner of weave. I definitely prefer the 60/40 poly-cotton blend.

poly-cotton dries faster - but the cotton BDU stuff is more silent if that is important (for example if you need to hunt in a survival situation you will have to go without trousers if you wear the cotton/poly blend) (- if that is the same stuff that is offered over here).

Thanks for the replies.

I was more worried for when they got wet. Most places I see on the internet only have the 100% cotton ripstop shorts.

Does anyone sell the 60/40 blend shorts?
