Non-military here. What are the differences? I have looked on Propper's site, they seem to have the same patterns.
Thanks in advance

BDU's and ACU's do not have anywhere close to the same pattern or color.

Thanks!
On Proppers website, both are made in numerous different camos. Are they just calling them something different?

I would assume they are just calling them the wrong names.
My labels for each picture are correct.
Air Force also has a new pattern, digital tiger stripe with , greyish blue, sage and tan.

On their site they have multicam acu's and bdu's as well as atac acu's and bdu's. Price is $10 more for the one's labeled acu. Just trying to find out the difference.

Eddie </div></div> i think i got it figured out. they are calling it ACU, BDU etc based on the style of uniform. They have different color's for each style of uniform it looks like.

Re: BDU's vs. ACU's?
Look at the cut and the pocket position.
I think they are describing the uniform by the features VS the camo pattern.

Re: BDU's vs. ACU's?
Thanks Knight and Crazy. I think I got it figured out. Where is the best place to order and what are some decent brands? I like the ATAC and the Multi-cam. These will be use for hunting Mississippi whitetails in the delta swamps.

Honestly i don't know about pricing and brands. I'm in the military so i always buy from clothing sales on base.

Re: BDU's vs. ACU's?
Common misconception, ACU is the name of the UNIFORM, not the pattern, same as BDU.
ACU= Army Combat Uniform and its different in its style and features than the BDU
BDU= Battle dress uniform.
ACU's mainly come in the UCP pattern. Universal Camoflage Pattern. And whatever they call Multi cam now.
BDU's came in Woodland, 3 color desert, and the old desert long ago.
ACU and BDU are just types, the patterns are endless and who knows whats next. Being a wearer for 18 years, I like the BDU pants style better than the ACU style, but the ACU top is a great design, except all the velcro. Also wear the A2CU and FRACU, and the FRACU has some changes in the pants that use buttons again on the pockets, and I like them better. The A2CU is the flight Uniform and Its ok, but I hate all the damn zippers and lack of back pockets. And the slash pockets ( air force gloves lol ) have velcro holding them closed, annoying but a "safety" feature for aviation. I got into a small bike accident and the zippers cut my leg up pretty bad.

Oh and Transinator, just hit up ebay and get the real multi cams. pretty good pricing and pretty durable. An added bonus, they are treated with Premithin and being in the swamps your going to like that.
