Lightweight multicam BDUs?
 
So I've recently gotten into airsoft, and I'm looking into getting my first BDU set. With outdoor season coming, I'm hoping to get something lightweight, good quality, but also good value. Looking to spend ~$150-200 w/ taxes, I'm currently looking at a Massif combat shirt I can get for $80, and Tru-Spec (W32, L34) for $75. I will be looking in classifieds as well for good deals.

If anyone has input on either of these it would be greatly appreciated. Or if anyone has any other brand / product suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

I have purchased a set of surplus british MTP BDU, and the fabric used is really thin. the downside is finding the right size. however the price is right between 80 to 100 for a set

Hero Army Surplus sells surplus USGI Scorpion (US Army Knock-off Multicam) sets. 50 bucks for shirt and 50 for pants... though they are in varying conditions of fading.

Save up and get UR-Tac. It's worth the bit extra plus shipping. For ultra light-weight, the vertex gun fighter shirt is good. Pants don't have to be heavy, but you'll want the tougher materials, engineering paired with integrated knee pads. Still, UR-Tac if you want to take it seriously but not spend an insane amount. They are a little more than your budget though.

All the simple ACU cut trousers are going to be lighter than the crye cut stuff with a million pockets and kneepads.
Crye cut shirts are going to be lighter, though.
Thing is, I'd rather carry around the extra miniscule weight of the crye cut trousers and have the added weather protection and knee protection. I've found they about the same in the heat, but are a bit better insulated in winter (padded/insulated kneepad on ice vs knee on ice), and hold their heat better in the rain. Apparently kneepads make a big difference in thermal regulation? lol
Also, first time you kneel down on a BB on a concrete pad you're gonna think you split your patella.

you know I don't even feel the heat from my arctyrx pants... they're thicker and more layers than my pproper pants but they feel the same in terms of heat management.

I have a lightweight crye shirt though, those are definitely worth it.
