British Army Desert DPM (DDPM) windproof trousers, designed as a durable outer layer for use in warm, dry and exposed environments.

Featuring the distinctive British Desert Disruptive Pattern Material camouflage, these trousers are cut to allow freedom of movement and layering while providing additional protection from wind and general field conditions.

Now increasingly associated with British military operations of the Iraq and Afghanistan era, Desert DPM kit is also becoming more popular with collectors alongside its continued use for fieldcraft, airsoft, outdoor work and general wear.

Features

• British Army Desert DPM / DDPM camouflage
• Wind-resistant outer-trouser design
• Hard-wearing military construction
• Generous cut for layering
• Large cargo/storage pockets
• Adjustable waist features depending on issue pattern
• Ankle adjustment depending on version

Please note: These are windproof trousers and are not waterproof MVP/Gore-Tex overtrousers.

As military surplus, individual garments may vary slightly in camouflage shade, manufacturer, labels, pocket arrangement and production details.

Sizing

British military trousers normally use three measurements:

Inside Leg / Waist / Seat

For example:

80/88/104

• 80 cm inside leg – approx. 31.5"
• 88 cm waist – approx. 34.5"
• 104 cm seat – approx. 41"

Some older Desert DPM garments may use slightly different markings depending on manufacturer or issue period.

Where possible, select using the original military measurements rather than relying solely on a civilian Small / Medium / Large conversion.
