Have you used the Special Ops Fusion Battle clothes?

[automikey]

They look good, can anyone give me some comments? Are they restrictive? Do they really help keep you cool? They cost $145 new, which is OK if they really perform as described. Any comments on the sizing? Size 38-41 pants is a 2XL, which makes me think they run small. I'd normally get an XL top, so should I get 2XL? If you have these I would really like your opinions before I buy.

I think they juuuuuust came out. No one seems to carry them. I want those pants because they are super hot and I'm always a NON conformist and want to wear camo and play tourney ball. 145 is TOO much for me so if anyone finds them for cheaper let me know!!!

They seem kind of "shiney" for woods ball.

I could see wearing the top for scenario games. I'd never give up my Outlast pants with the built-in knee pads.

As for the price, it seems par for the course when it comes to PB clothes. In fact a little cheaper than most of the big names.

if you want camo pants, go with BDU's

Alot cheaper and when wearing mine in the summer i didn't get that hot.

$145 is for the Pants and Jersey set. The pants alone are about $95. I've been eyeing them, not sure yet though. I put my paintball pants through some serious crap. My BDUs are already full of holes on the knee/shin area, after only 2 times out with them. I'm not too keen on dropping $95 on a set of pants if I'm going to instantly shred them. But thats more of a personal issue... If I wasn't as rough on my pants (most players arent), I wouldnt worry as much.


But being a large scotsman, the generously cut dimensions look rather inviting. My BDUs work, but I wouldnt mind some more room to move. So anyone try 'em yet?

I played speedball in them, and they're pretty nice. It's a fun way to scare the "Dye"crowd with looks. Functionalty, the elbow and knee pads are good when you slide. They really are quite non-restrictive, and they perform very well. When the woods season warms up, I'll let you know then what they're like outside. But, so far, I'm impressed. There's a few things I'd like to see changed (The cargo pockets don't really hold a lot of gear, and the squeegie pocket is too short for most sticks), but the fact that I can knee-slides and supermans and not really feel it is nice.

Oh, I felt it LATER, but at that moment, it was good. Washed out well too.

Thanks.

Thanks. Any comments on the sizing? Should I order 1 size larger than normal?

[shartley]

Or you can get custom made PDU Pants.

[Tyger]

Should I order 1 size larger than normal?

I bugged 'em enough and they put sizes on the website. I'm using 3XL, and they fit me about perfect. I would seriously up your normal sizes you wear, or check the website then order.

I saw them the other day. I kind of like the idea to have the standard colored speedball pants and jersey, and also a camo with the same style and fit as the other get up. but 150 bucks is kinda steep for jersey and pants (seeing that I got my proto pants and dye jersey for 65 total new), Im sure the price will come down once other companies start making them though

[germanman]

Just go with the original military issued MARPAT camo. It's cheaper and it's the ACTUAL camo patern used by the canadian military.

[JimmyBeam]

your missing the point. these are just like paintball pants and jerseys, except without the red/yellow/blue....its a camo pattern. its loose fitting, andcomes with padding in the elbows, knees, etc.....
