What do you think guys of eHobby's bdus they are rather cheap but what about quality? Are they acceptable? I know this is nothing to do next to Crye, but.. are they worth the money?

thanks! I may be lookin' for a marpat set for cheap, since I'm not a Gear-o-holic

if you search bdu on ebay you will find real ones for alot less then those.

I purchased the German Flec BDUs from ehobby Asia just to compare them to my real issue flecs. The quality is comparitively less, and when worn they fell more like canvas.

This is the set I purchased: http://cgi.ebay.com/German-Army-Wood...QQcmdZViewItem.

A comparison to the real issue:

Material:

Real issue: 65% Baumwolle & 35% Polyester
Ehobby Asia issue: 80% Banmolle & 20% Polyester

Feel:

Real issue: Soft and warm as cotton
Ehobby Asia issue: Feels like Polyester/Canvas, rough on skin

Issue date:

Real Issue: 1995 Flectarn
Ehobby Asia issue: States 1991 however when asked they stated that this is a reproduction of that years issue.

Sizing:

Real Issue: XL - fits me just fine as I am 6'4" tall 210lbs
Ehobby Asia issue : XL - fits more like a large, cannot wear as it fits to small.

I hope this information helps. Personally I would stick to the real deal!!!

Its true, the BDU's off ehobby are barely passable for me. I ordered XL and it fit my friend who is a large perfectly. Also that whole canvas thing is really true as well.

Its all rothco and chinabrand, Just buy real BDU's, they're propper color, they'll last longer, and they're close if not cheaper than the chinabrand ones

[pOkiE]

For that price, you can almost purchase real ones from Tru or Propper...depends on what kinda camo youre looking for though

[Lerch]

And the conclusion is...continue to buy from eHobby Asia but forget about the BDU's

thanks folks! It's highly appreciated

Check your local army surplus, too, depending what you're looking for; stuff like Woodland, 3 Color and Fleck are commonly available and some surplus stores carry repro ACU and Marpat MCCUUs (look for the ones by Propper, they're the best for repro. Avoid RothCo and stuff, its shitty).

Usually overpriced.

Depends where you shop. And compared to the eHobby repros @$50 per top or bottom (you may have noticed it's $20-$25 + $25 shipping) it's cheaper (New Proppers should be about $40 per piece, and around here the guy will cut you a deal if you buy a set).
