New with a few questions?

Yes, OK.
I own camouflage clothing too. The german woodland pattern blends perfectly in our nature, and because some years ago they changed from an army for everybody to a professional army the equipment is still very very cheap and the quality is very good.

But: I use it where I am well known, most times on own ground and around it.

In foreign areas I recommend a civil combination, for example brown trousers, dark grey jumper, oliv shirt and jacket, brown cap or somehow mixed like this.

But ok, if you wear a civil wool jumper you can wear camo trousers with it, staying civil.

Tough waterproofs in military quality Gore-Tex 3 layers fabric are up to ten times more expensive than a used Bundeswehr rain suit in good conditions. So I own light civil waterproofs and the Bundeswehr rain suit.
Usually I am alone in the forest if it rains.

Old Swedish and new Austrian field uniforms look very civil by the way. "Army Warehouse" sells the used Austrian stuff very cheap.
That stuff is oliv, not camouflage.

Decathlon Solognac hunting clothing are good and cheap too, by the way.
Polyester cotton mix trousers "Steppe 300" for 17€ for example are nearly at the quality level of NATO trousers.

I dont want to make a religion from this. But yes, the first impression is important.

But if I would find on our land in the one corner some guis with camouflage clothing and in the other people with orange tent, yellow jackets and bright blue trousers...

May be I would let the parrots in theyr corner, but surely I would go with the beer to the green ones!

What is the sizing like on the Polyester cotton mix trousers "Steppe 300" @Erbswurst please as I have considered buying a pair of Decathlon trousers of some sort but comments on the website regarding sizing/fitting issues have been putting me off ! :)

Thanks in advance for your response to this question as your opinion on such matters is highly valued on the forum ! đź‘Ť

In order to keep this thread on track it might be a good idea to post your reply about the Decathlon trousers in the Clothing & Footwear section my friend. :)
