Tru-Spec Combat Shirt



Features:
The Tru-Spec Combat Shirt features 50/50 Nyco rip-stop sleeves with a soft 60/40 cotton/nylon body. The body of the shirt is lightweight, moisture wicking and pretty thin to maximize breathability. The 50/50 nyco material extends into the shoulders and across the upper back to increase durability and to eliminate the need for any seems in critical areas that could cause chaffing. This shirt has anti-abrasion elbow patches and zipper sleeve pockets. Gusseted sleeves increase the combat shirts range of motion as well as its comfort in various positions.

Cost:
$64.99 (www.airsoftatlanta.com)

Positives:
I found this shirt to be very comfortable and soft throughout the entire inside. The higher collar helps protect your neck from chaffing due to rubbing caused by a sling or vest. I like the fact that the arms, shoulders and back are 50/50 nyco rip-stop rather than tru-spec's usual 65/35 material that they do most of their other multicam items in.

Negatives:
I found the sleeve pockets to be somewhat of an annoyance since they zip from the top which makes them more of a hassle to deal with, if the zip closures would have been located on the front of the pockets it would have been better. The anti-abrasion elbow patches seemed to be oddly positioned as well because too much bending of the elbow reveals that your elbow tends to fall outside the patched area. Additionally the velcro loop areas on the right sleeve are broken up into 3 sections for different items and I would find it more useful if this had just been one solid sheet of loop material across the entire pocket.

Overall:
This shirt is very comfortable and a great fit, I was very satisfied with this purchase. I picked this one up from Parafrog in Knoxville, TN for around $65.
