What does Tru-Spec have in store for us in 2013 regarding their tactical pants?
We just watched a video about the new stuff coming from Tru-Spec and it was music to our ears to here that what they were primarily going to do is put a less expensive pant on the market. Who has done something like that in the last 10yrs? Not a single company that we can think of. Years ago 5.11 pants were about $30-$40 and when Woolrich Elite Series hit the market they were the first tactical pant we sold that was almost $50 a pair. You do get what you pay for but now that we see that so many tactical clothing companies have overdone their designs, there is something to be said for simplicity and quality.
We like the Tru-Spec tactical pants and especially the new Gunny boot cut pant, but were looking forward to the new pants that will be well received with our Law Enforcement departments that are always on a budget. We have not seen these new Tactical Pants yet but I expect our sales rep will be out with them shortly. The major selling point of the Tru-Spec product line is that it is the best priced tactical product line in comparison to Vertx and 5.11 tactical. We’ve picked up a lot of customers in the EMS world from 5.11 just based on price points.
