POLICE GEAR REVIEW 10.30.2010

TRU-SPEC XFIRE TACTICAL RESPONSE UNIFORM (TRU)

Is it time your police gear or tactical gear goes digital?  Tru-Spec is a company that knows a thing or two about digital camo and offers a durable and flame resistant outfit for people who often find themselves nestled in the woods and looking for the right gear to blend in. 

We tested the TRU and found the material to be the perfect blend to allow tactical operators the freedom to move stealthily, and the durability to withstand the romp thrashing through the woods.  The material felt like a pair of carhartt pants and older style military BDU pants were combined.

The pants are button fly and there is a string on the inside waist band to help adjust the pants to a desired comfort level.  We tied ours off and found the new design is much better because the old adjustable straps on many of the military pants would loosen after everyday wear.  Now you can get them to a comfortable waist, tie off the inside knots and they fit like a pair of custom cargo pants.

The top was just as durable if not more.  It had a really tricked out zipper feature that allows you to zipper up from the bottom and cover the center with a velcro flap.  the arms allow for patches to be attached with ease, and the neck had a velcro strap closure that can be used to fight off the elements or it can be attached to itself to be out of the way to allow for better ventelation. 

On the chest is two slanted pockets with hook and loop for easy closure.  The top even has access on the inside of the shirt to allow the operators to insert elbow pads if tactical operations are known prior to heading out. 

We can see a use for these pants in a swat team environment, search and rescue, or just a day on the range.  For more information please visit the manufactures website at http://www.atlanco.com/
