| What are the differances between the two companies? I'm wanting a set of TRu?ACUs in multicam. I can fint the Propper for $40 per piece while the Tru-Spec TRUs are $65. Is there a quality differance? Are they both Licensed Crye material? |

www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=10&t=231502 Plus the differences have been discussed several other times within the Tac Gear Forum. Its a matter of different materials licensed by CP, used by each company. |
it's the different fabrics used. go to DSG Arms, order the ACU cut shirt for $30, and when you get it, feal it, and then you will see why it's cheaper. when they started comming out, a lot of guys posted on how they washed them several times to soft'en them up. |
Oh, now it makes sence. I guess I may need both then. I'm glap the Propper stuff is cheaper since I'd only be using it maybe two months out of the year. |
| Ok well I got a suprise $500 bonus from work so I ordered the Tru-Spec. Which is what I wanted all along any way. I was just trying to get some one to tell me the Propper was better AND cheaper. Now I'll have no worries about color matching. Ordered the TRU shirt and a Boonie form Desert Deuce Surplus where I got my pants from before. |
the real test will be some time next year when both Propper and Tru-spec can use the same fabric, and then you can do a real side by side test but with all that "extra" money, go ahead and just spend about $30 on like a propper BDU or ACU top and try it out  as per Arfcom law you must get both

| I wear the navy blue Propper Tac.U to work daily. My department had issued both tru-spec and quartermaster navy blue bdus. We had fade issues with both, quartermaster's fading to a purplish color after two months. I asked for permission to purchase the tac.u myself and wear it in a "field test" at work with my K9. The tac.u is comfortable as hell, hasn't faded as of yet (3 months in), and I even figured out how to roll the sleeves up and keep em looking good. To give em a proper test, I wear the same pair to work every shift (14 days a month) and wash/dry them each day I work. So far so good..... |
Awesome, thanks for that in field review. What breed of dog do you work with? |
