2yrs into carrying the Tru-Spec product line
This is our second year of carrying the Tru-Spec tactical clothing line and we are very happy with what our customers are telling us. The reviews on tactical clothing made by Tru-Spec are much better than what we are hearing about 5.11. We carry some of the 5.11 tactical apparel and gear like the backpacks and molle stuff, but we get a lot of complaints about shrinkage and lack of durability. If you just compare the polo shirts that men or wome would wear in an Office environment, The Woolrich Elite tactical polos in style 44435 would be the most durable but they are much heavier in weight. I’ve had the same Tru-Spec 24.7 series tactical polo for a year and it has faded and the name tag has worn, but it’s still in tact.
The biggest winner that we discovered were the 24/7 series tactical pants, many of our customers told us they had a great product line and their womens Truspec tactical pants were very well received unlike some of the other clothing companies we dealing with. I’ve heard some good things about the Blackhawk tactical clothing line for women also, but price points are something we are seriously thinking about. We noticed several vendors in the area have stopped carrying the Vertx product lines because there were too many issues in trying to get product and the starting cost of the tactical pants were around $64.99. The Tru-Spec Simple Tactical product line is a really smart thing, there are some variations in fit and sizing if you are already wearing the 24/7 series, but we have a good exchange policy so let us know if something doesn’t fit.
