TMC Multicam Tropic?
 

Has anyone tried any of TMC's multicam tropic gear?

EBairsoft is claiming their pouches are made of "Genuine US made Multicam fabric"
Although, none of their tops/pants have this claim?

I thought TMC only used china-made multicam? Maybe someone can clarify, but does Genuine US multicam = crye multicam? Or is there some sort of caveot here? Just curious more than anything.

I wouldn't buy it unless it very specifically stated "crye multicam"
"genuine multicam" with a US flag, does not by any means indicate that it is crye multicam
ur-tactical has the OPS line which is a good real crye multicam alternative to the crye or semapo combats.

crye is not the sole producer of the fabric, there's lots of companies licensed in the US and europe that make it now. Some of what the acm companies are using now is probably real stuff. Some probably still aren't. Given that china is the motherofallthings counterfeit even product labels, it's buyer beware.

TMC gear has had genuine tags for awhile, quite a few repro/airsoft companies use real fabric. The issue is usually with stitching and such. Personally I dislike TMC gear, but if you're looking for a quick and cheap option I suppose it's not too bad. It never seems to take a beating well. Get Tru-Spec if you're short on cash.

Emerson has been using real 500D Multicam Cordura for over two years now. It's nothing new.

You could go tru-spec locally, but a bit expensive imo ;\

I have these pants and they're comparable and in some respects, better than my Crye G3s

Sizes are a bit small for some tho.

1 Crye G3 $500
2 UR-Tactical $260
3 Tru-Spec $200

Honestly, save you money and get UR-Tac. Totally worth it.

I bought a pair of Tru-Spec pants in MC-Tropic last year for about $100 +SH from Montreal.

They're good but I almost wish I had opted for the UR tacticals since I find the soft knee pads are a bit lower than I'd like. At the time when I ordered UR tactical didn't have my size.

Some of my friends are also interested in a MC tropic set, but convincing them to get Tru-specs/propper has been a hard sell given their tight(er) budgets.
I've never bought anything emerson/TMC so I can't give them my own opinion.

Also, I noticed my tru-specs have the multicam logo sewn into the pattern between some of the light and dark spots. Is this a definitive way to tell if a fabric is authentic, or is it only done on some blends of fabrics?

I've only noticed it on tropic so far

I would plus one on this.....i have a full set of tropic from ur-tactical and totally worth every penny

^ going back to this,

I really want a good set of Tropic, well camo in general

so sizing goes small how much smaller ?

I was under the impression the size measurements as advertised were accurate. Ie. Small is up to 32" etc...

Can someone confirm?

The waist sizing isn't the issue here; pant leg length is. It might fit your waist perfectly, but you'll be showing off calf when you kneel.

So UR tactical is $236 USD for top and bottom. If I got a chance to buy a complete set of Cryes for $300 USD it means I should right ? Worth the extra 70 USD ?

For sure jump on them

Crye G3 combat pants are going for more than that new, for just the pants. That's a steal

Or check out invader gear from Europe. You can order most stuff through amazon.co.uk Tehy are very much like UR gear. But fit way better. Actual sizing.

Sorry to bring up an old topic. But I'm trying to figure out why the ops gear is cheaper then the real crye stuff. Is it made in China or something?

Basically, yes. They do a fairly good job of sticking to US sizing though.
So if you're a med-reg, you'll fit their med-reg
They also save a lot of money by not being Crye. Remember; brand name markup is a real thing.

Here's a pic of the label I just took:

If you compare the OPS combat gear to something like Tru-Spec there is a noticeable quality and feeling or durability when you place them side-by-side. I've not got any Crye gear to compare it to, but I would guess the quality is very close.

The OPS sizing is north-american sizing.

I measure a size small and learned the hard way. I ordered a medium thinking I might eventually layer it over a sweater or cold-weather layer. Nope, still too big on me. In the end I re-ordered a small and it fits me perfectly.

If you are a medium-regular and want a tropic shirt, I'm selling one in the gear classifieds. ;)

Thanks for the info guys. Yes I get the brand name mark up on gear etc. I ordered there tropic multicam shorts and I was shocked at how nice they were. My team all wears the tropic and the arid, so we try to monitor what's out there and see how other guys make kit out of it. I must say after getting there shorts I will grab there pants as they are designed better then the tru spec ones. Medium sized would be nice, haven't worn that size since I was 8 or 10 lol, we call the bigger guys on the team part of the fluffy unit, as most are 6 foot plus and over 200lbs. If my wife needed a top I would grab it but she has hers already. Thanks again

the fabric is getting pretty cheap, it's probably easier to get in bulk now than the fake stuff. lol. In the last couple years there's been a very sharp uptick in chinese companies willing to make more legit product to compete in the face of really shitty, really cheap junk.

a lot of the HK airsoft sites are now selling legit gear and clothing. I'm guessing the market for it is a lot stronger and very sustainable.

Same material, fades the same, cryes are just more comfortable, and have better stitching.
