| Anyone know which manufacturer is the best for the multcam tops and bottoms?I'm looking to get a set or two.Should've done it a few years ago when I got a couple boonies from Crye Precision.Anyways from what I've read Truspec and Propper are the most common but then there is SKD and Tag.So I'm confused.TIA. |

Crye Precision is still the top dog when you can find them in stock. Which is almost never. Someone did a review not too long ago about some Chinese knockoff gear that made identical clothing to Crye. I never saw it in person, but the tons of pictures he posted made it look great. It was real Crye fabric, just made by another shop overseas.

That would be me; here's my thread on the trousers... http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=10&t=317989 I also have a set of Tru-Spec ACU cut Multicam trousers; they are 50/50 NYCO ripstop (which I use to compare the OPS trousers). The Tru-Spec pants are pretty comfortable and durable. |

What I would really like is a sterile version with no velcro on the shouder pockets or on the chest for nametapes. |

| I have 2 pairs of Crye trousers and the one shirt and the quality is outstanding as it my otte gear jacket. our daughter is a designer that worked overseeing production for a few years and she said both products were built using the best materials and the best construction and were worth the high price |

Quoted: Quoted: Does Tru-Spec make them with the 50/50 nyco blend or only 65/35 Polyester/cotton? mine say 50/50 They make both. I, and most people I know prefer the NYCO version. After examining SKDs and Tru-Spec I think that SKD is slightly better since they allow you to get different variants pertaining to chest pocket openings and the use of a velcro or button opening. |

Done it to ACUs, removing the pocket velcro on the outside removes the velcro securing the pocket shut as well. My wife has a sewing machine, but she cant sew so that leaves me in a situation. |

Just sew on a button, and cut a button hole. Make sure you sew the edges of the button hole. |

I hate how that shoulder velcro makes the sleeves stiff right there. |

I had to go up a size for the SKD's, they were too tight around the nuts and thighs. I normally wear a ML for BDU and ACU pants, with SKD's I have to go LR. |

I too prefer the NY/CO blend over the Poly/Cotton. It's much more expensive though. -K |

I have a set from SKD and it's fantastic. VertX also makes their pants in multicam, and they're going to have a bdu/tactical/combat shirt out soon which will be available in MC. I love the VertX pants and will surely end up with a set or two of their MC stuff. It's a shame TAD Gear stopped making their clothing in MC. I managed to get one of their "Battle Hoodies" in MC and it's my favorite jacket. |
| have aset of tru spec, best overall quality and fit. have propper pants, close but no tru spec quality. have a pair of the crye field pants, nice look but wierd- the button fly seems off just enough to be noticable (design wise, not a screw up) and the hip pockets are hard to access- the opening is right where the hips bend while seated and they lie just along the belt line so they aren't easily accessed even while standing. I doubt anything would ever fall out of them but weird how they just feel odd... my overall choice are the tru spec cuz they have the added pocket in the cargo pockets that propper doesn't...don't know about the othe r brands though wouldn't mind finding out. |
