Taken a long to get it all, but it's nice to finally have a mostly functional kit

2020-05-22 19:47:27 UTC  

ATACs-FG?

2020-05-22 19:47:50 UTC  

Yes! It sucks they quit making it though

2020-05-22 19:47:57 UTC  

A man of culture

2020-05-22 19:48:31 UTC  

You can still get FG from Wish and Alibaba but it isn't the same you know

2020-05-22 19:49:07 UTC  

I'm impressed you even know the pattern!
Yeah, it's a terrible 2d version that glows under IR...

2020-05-22 19:50:41 UTC  

I have about the same uniform you have so I really really like FG

2020-05-22 19:50:50 UTC  

Didn't know the 2nd version glows tho

2020-05-22 19:51:17 UTC  

The knock-off ones do

2020-05-22 19:51:29 UTC  

I might have to order some of the good stuff....

2020-05-22 19:51:42 UTC  

Been using the knockoffs for training

2020-05-22 19:52:12 UTC  

The ATACs IX is a decent replacement.

2020-05-22 19:53:12 UTC  

I would recommend finding someone with NODs to check and see how IR reflective it is

2020-05-22 19:54:21 UTC  

IX doesn't quite look as nice though

2020-05-22 19:56:09 UTC  

I know... it's heartbreaking. I think Propper was unloading some FG still, and TRU-Spec also... if you can stomach the cost there's a company still making full sets but they run $120 per piece

2020-05-22 19:57:34 UTC  

I'm my area the FG let's me just disappear.

2020-05-22 19:59:03 UTC  

$120 per piece or $120 per set

2020-05-22 20:00:08 UTC  

Oh lordy

2020-05-22 20:00:26 UTC  

Check it out, I ordered the mask here and although 30 bucks seemed steep it's good quality, I didn't feel ripped off.

2020-05-22 20:01:03 UTC  

I can dig good quality but $240 for a uniform is steep

2020-05-22 20:01:17 UTC  

Especially since two sets is pretty standard

2020-05-22 20:02:54 UTC  

Right!

2020-05-22 20:02:55 UTC  

But Tru-Spec is way on the opposite end of quality/price

2020-05-22 20:03:31 UTC  

My set is hot weather Tru-spec and I have a Cold Weather Propper set

2020-05-22 20:04:28 UTC  

I've had some mixed experiences with Tru-Spec, had them tear on the first time taking them out

2020-05-22 20:04:57 UTC  

Wow, yeah I've had to repair them already. Weak seems

2020-05-22 20:05:31 UTC  

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.

2020-05-22 20:06:03 UTC  

I've had them rip literally while I'm just boating, not anything strenuous at all

2020-05-22 20:06:13 UTC  

It's only good for a few months of hard use, but price matters when you are poor

2020-05-22 20:06:17 UTC  

I'll look into getting a set in FG though

2020-05-22 20:06:36 UTC  

Maybe I had a lemon

2020-05-22 20:07:41 UTC  

It happens. I've put mine through some pretty tough FTXs and, although I've had to repair them, the fabric is holding up

2020-05-22 20:07:42 UTC  

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.

2020-05-22 20:08:20 UTC  

I've been using the knock offs for a bit now and they hold up fairly well

2020-05-22 20:08:33 UTC  

Still Chinese quality though

2020-05-22 20:09:12 UTC  

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
