Have you used the Special Ops Fusion Battle clothes?

[automikey]

Hmmm...Shartley....clothes?

Or you can get custom made PDU Pants.

I went to the shartley website and found very little information about the "PDU" and few detailed photos. Nothing like the Special Ops site with detailed photos and descriptions...

Did I miss something? If your product is better, please show me why. My money isn't spent yet.

[automikey]

tell us about yourself...

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.

Not to pry, but can we have your height/weight/build so as to get an idea who fits into a 3XL?

[automikey]

Risky...

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

That'll work great until Bush tries to bring freedom to Canada...

Cool...

Thanks Shartley, I will definitely take a closer look and think about it more. I'm not sure I really want built-in pads anyway, so I was looking for more options.

Your gear does look top-notch.

Thank you. Like I said, do what is best for YOU and your needs. That is the great thing about paintball now days, there are SO many choices, and every style and preference can be met. And from day one, I have always been about making sure the customer gets what is right for them, even if it is NOT my products.

Umm, 6'4, 250 pounds, I like long walks on the beach, jazz music and... oh wait, wrong forum...

I'm a big guy, 40 waist, Normally I wear 2XL jerseys, but the 3X is good on me. In this case, I'd serisouly get a size larger than you normally would. They do exchanges too if it doens't fit, which is cool.

Thanks a lot, sounds like the 2XL would be it for me if I go that route.

I have a friend your size, there's hardly a tree he can hide behind.

Oh, and my sister says "Hi".

MARPAT? (Marine pattern)

[automikey]

It was only a joke

MARPAT? (Marine pattern)

"It's cheaper and it's the ACTUAL camo patern used by the canadian military"

So if I dress like the Canadian Military and Bush tries to bring freedom to Canada (Canada is already free, that's kind of the joke)...

Let's let this pass, so the thread doesn't become political. I'll try to pick my jokes better also.

[germanman]

DEAL...But... MARPAT is U.S. Marine pattern...

[stondroopy]

geez i was thinking of making something like this but wasnt sure if there would be a market for it, i remember talking to rick and another buddy at the last Ao day about it.bah thats what i get for lagging

[Spec.Ops1]

Just to let you guys know we have bumped up all our sizes on our 3rd production run (selling now).

So, in short this means what was an XL previously is now a Large. So take tyger for example he is wearing the 1st gen sizing 3xl which is now a 2xl.

fyi.

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.

-Tyger

What he said. They work damn well in the woods. I played last sunday in the deep woods. The only downside I saw was that the stick squeegie pocket was too short, as I ended up loosing one on the field. I was able to do some slides and crawls and they are definately comfortable and protective. I think they went right with the stretch fabric connecting the legs to the body of the pants.

The one comment on them that I got: "You shot twice, then I turned around in the bunker to shoot back and you were just gone. Then all I could see was your mask the next time you shot at me." I don't know if it has anything to do with the pattern or not, but I seemed to blend in pretty well. I've never heard comments like this when I've played in other gear.

They breath VERY well and they are more comfortable than I thought they would be. The jersey is a little warm, but breathable when the wind blows. I am going to have drawstrings sewn into the pants legs, as I prefer to have them tight at the ankles.

they look good, and IMO 145 isn't that much for all that. All my WDP Airtime stuff cost me over $240, but i bought elbow and knee pads too.
