Oh lordy
Check it out, I ordered the mask here and although 30 bucks seemed steep it's good quality, I didn't feel ripped off.
I can dig good quality but $240 for a uniform is steep
Especially since two sets is pretty standard
Right!
But Tru-Spec is way on the opposite end of quality/price
My set is hot weather Tru-spec and I have a Cold Weather Propper set
I've had some mixed experiences with Tru-Spec, had them tear on the first time taking them out
Wow, yeah I've had to repair them already. Weak seems
I've used tru spec before for beater stuff. I hate their website and the quality is pretty low, but it's cheap and protects your well enough from thorns and other stuff.
I've had them rip literally while I'm just boating, not anything strenuous at all
It's only good for a few months of hard use, but price matters when you are poor
I'll look into getting a set in FG though
Maybe I had a lemon
It happens. I've put mine through some pretty tough FTXs and, although I've had to repair them, the fabric is holding up
I've put mine through some hard use and its held up well enough, no tears but some stitching has unraveled a little. If I did more stuff in it, I'd get something better because it probably wouldn't hold up.
I've been using the knock offs for a bit now and they hold up fairly well
Still Chinese quality though
To me, uniforms are a consumable item. It's going to wear out, so the quality you get is dictated by how hard and how much you're going to be using it
Just don't wash them with detergent because the soap residue impregnated in the fabric also reflects IR
I wouldn't personally go out and buy a full set of cryes because I tend to run in jeans and a shirt, rarely using a uniform. Boots on the other had, you wanna splurge on boots because bad ones will make you miserable
@Artemis exactly. It's always a cost equation. You can get indestructible unis, but $800 a set is a lot of practice ammo
Yeah. Sure you can hit up a soldier to use as a proxy to buy patagonia gear, but are you really gonna get your money's worth. Also what's up with those cucks at patagonia not wanting to sell to civilians? lol
I've got under armor jungle boots, paired with moisture wicking socks, they do pretty good
Lol, exactly
They are just skirting VAT taxes
Companies that are against people willingly buying their product are pretty stupid
Chrony capitalism
There's a surprising amount of that in the gun world. Companies that make guns or accessories but are staunchly anti 2a.
"No, I do not have a contract for 2k pieces of equipment, but there must be at least 2k people willing to buy your shit"
Take care, I'm taking the wife and kids to dinner before selfishly abandoning them this weekend!
If a company is staunchly anti 2a I just don't buy from them if I can take it
Have a good one
When people are like "if you like guns so much why don't you just join the military you pussy" and go into shock, frothing at the mouth if I reply: I've got respect for soldiers, but fuck the military. I'm not up for being the government's sword.
It's like they can't imagine those two principles existing in the same person
People don't understand that anymore, it's not about the people on the ground but the system that puts them in those situations
Although I guess that can be said for Vietnam, soldiers coming back after being drafted and people being angry at them for a war they didn't ask to be in
Growing up, I always wanted to join. I really liked the idea, and it took literally getting run over by a truck to knock some sense into me. My dad would always tell me that he had the highest respect for soldiers, but not to join because the people running the show weren't trustworthy.
Yeah it's a major problem
Particularly liked the idea of PJ's. I mean, it's cool as fuck to be able to jump out of a helicopter, save some dude's life, kick some ass, and get out alive.
