100% hot weather's.
The cut is way better on them. They are a little tighter across the chest but have much better shoulder room, and the weird expanding shoulder seams on the regular uniform are gone. Those seams are supposed to sit where your shoulder blades move, but they never fit me right. I find the hot weather much more flattering. The regulars kind of billow over the stomach and the hots are more flat. |

 I prefer BDU's super strong last forever. They would fade in 3-4 years but they didn't rip. |

I wore prison uniforms in the military for twenty years. Sure as shit, as soon as I retired they went to a more comfortable, better looking, more military uniform.

Quoted: OCPs or the new IHWCU? I just picked up a set of the IHWCUs and while light I think the OCPs are cut better Hot Weather are so much more comfortable. |

I wore the best. And that was the Battle Dress Uniform. Everything that has come after has looked like it was taken off a gang banger who looked like he was role playing an army man.

My first 3 years it was the OD green pickle suit. I was out for 8 and went back in to BDU's and a flight suit. 20 years worth. I bailed just before what ever came next.

I wore BDUs, DCUs, and ACUs when I was in.
My favorite were DCUs, but that may be just because I enjoyed that time in the most. My first unit wore DCUs full time, even stateside. There were things I liked about the ACU and things I didn't. Hated the velcro for holding pocket flags closed, that was absolutely moronic. I like the look of multicam a whole lot more, but that came out shortly after I got out. The black beret went away like ten years ago too didn't it? Lucky bastards. I hated that stupid thing. |

I think they got moisture/mold in storage
