TruSpec shirts and outwear

truspec shirtsIt’s been over a year we’ve been selling these shirts and in comparison to some of the other brands, these, like the tactical pants are very well priced and have been an outstanding assett to our tactical clothing line.  Unlike military or Government persons, the Tru-Spec 24/7 series is a great quality product at a better price point.  The 24/7 Series tactical clothing line is also an accepted tactical clothing line for women and it’s almost miraculous that the pants are sell well design that our female customers don’t have much to complain about, and we never really hear it.  From the EMS pants to the 24/7 Series 98% of our female customers are satisfied.

The differences between the Tru-Spec jackets and shirts, whether we’re talking about the 24/7 series or the tactical line,  are going to fit differently than other brands.  There’s no way to get around the fact that Truspec shirts are going to fit you differently than 5.11 Tactical or Blackhawk. Once you talk about different quality control, different price ranges ect. the next reality is going to be about fit.  We’ve recently been dealing with a lot of people that wore the Woolrich Elite or Eotac product lines and are now wearing the Tru-Spec tactical line and telling us about arm length differences ect.   You really have to stop in our Broomall, PA 19008 tactical store to see for yourself.

We have a clear winner for best priced tactical pants

And the hands down best pants for anyone with a budget are the Tru Spec tactical pants.   The lightweight poly cotton ripstop pant is an easy transition for anyone that has been wearing the 5.11 tactical pants, and more than a number of our customers have mentioned that the 5.11 tactical apparel line  has become more and more expensive.  We’ve so much turmoil and price increases with tactical clothing and it affects anyone that was getting their stuff made in China.   Cotton prices are up as well as shipping and transportation.   We are seeing UPS ground prices hang around $14 and that if for products under 3 pounds.    Two pairs of tactical pants, whether they are lightweights or standard weights are going to be over 3 lbs and most people’s sizes will be close to 2 pounds each.

If you factor in order 3 or 4 pairs of pants and they are each $50 a pair, that is $150-$200 for them.  If you got a pair of tactical pants that were just as good quality wise, and they cost $10 each, you will get them for $120-$160 dollars.  Those are pretty good differences in prices and for many of our Law Enforcement departments that are looking for something that doesn’t burn up all of their clothing expenses are going with Tru Spec over Blackhawk and 5.11 just based on cost.   If you are already getting the quality and the same basic material, what’s the point in tossing another $10 a pair in the trash.   There are always feature differences with tactical clothing so we’re not knocking 5.11 or Blackhawk, but saving money in a bad economy is very important.
