Tru-Spec Multicam and Camo Options and A-Tacs patterns around the corner

There are many reasons to wear camouflage but not always is it to hide you.  I don’t know how many times I’ve seen hunters with $150 camo suits on but then they have the bright orange vest that out them.   Well, from my experience, some of those zip up one piece suits have a lot of utility applications and I actually use a Tru-Spec Assault Suit in Multicam because it’s got even more pockets and utility than most hunting suits, cost a pretty penny, but it works for Archery Season and depending on the environment you are hunting in, you don’t always have to have an orange vest on, during rifle season it’s another story.   We have a lot of cross overs in this industry with Paintball and Airsoft and have plenty of adults buying the Tru-Spec Multicam, Tru-Spec All Terrain Tiger and even there broad selection of other camo pants in Urban Digital and the woodland camo.  Somtimes it fun to get an entire team on the same page with the same patterns so you know who’s on your side.

Hiding yourself and living up to the definition of camouflaging yourself can be very difficult.  Depending on the environment you are in, which can change if you in the woods or on a hillside isn’t going to happen most of the type, you’d need a cloaking device.   Part of Sniper training in the military is being able to adapt to the environment you are in and you are not going to be sent to the field with your camo, you’re going to have to put it all together yourself and make sure it works.   There are some people that love the Tru-Spec BDU Shorts in various camo patterns just for the look but there are much newer patterns coming out lately.   This past year there were several new pants available in Multicam and the new Multicam BlackMultiCamBlack A-Tacs.   We recently read that there are new Tru-Spec A-Tacs patterns coming out and they are very much a technological advancement in clothing and far advanced from the Digital Patterns of the past.   The best thing about having Paintball or Airsoft Tactical Clothing is you can basically wear the same thing during hunting season.

Brick and Mortar stores for tactical gear and clothing

There use to be a well known Army Navy Store here in the Philadelphia Suburbs that was family owned and we use to go there to get our cub scout gear.  They had shovels camping gear, sleeping bags and war props.   Those were fun days for us but that industry just faded away in South Eastern Pennsylvania.  It’s hard to even find a place where you can check out a Swiss Army Knive.  The internet is a booming industry but there is still so much competition amongst brick and mortar stores.  I have friends that shop at Victoria’s Secret for clothing for their wives because shopping online is too hard.  In this industry the same things happen for women trying to find the correct style and color of tactical clothing.  Many will ask what multi-cam is and what color is coyote brown.

On the other hand the average guy will have no idea how to explain what color turquoise is and is going to want to walk into a store to see it.   Backpacks and duty bags are Mission driven and tactical clothing is no different.  The differences between 100% cotton ripstop pants, Blackhawk Polycotton ripstop pants, Tru Spec Polycotton ripstop and 5.11 lightweight tactical pants are also very different.  Pocket designs are unique, some are good for a knife, others have different cargo pockets and may or may not work for you.  We got asked this question all the time about the differences between Eotac and Woolrich Elite tactical clothing.  All of these products  have their pros and cons and it really depends on what your needs are.
