Which one of these shirts would be the better option? The Tru-Spec can be had for around $60.00 whereas the Crye is gonna run me $145.00. I'm of the opinion that you get what you pay for, but I thought I'd ask and see whats up first.

If your buying alot of clothes and using them frequently I would get the Tru spec though...My situation, I'm not using the clothes so I just bought some crye precision. What ever is most cost effective for you is the best obviously.

the crye is the better shirt overall, but the tru-spec is a decent value. make sure you get the gen 2 tru-spec, not the gen 1 if you go that route.

Crye Precision sounds like the winner to me. I live in Florida. I like the Multicam pattern but I almost tend to think that plain old Ranger Green might work best in my environment. Any opinions?

I can't voice an opinion on the combat shirt but I do have the Tru-spec TRU (50/50) pants and shirt. I've done my own testing here in Alabama, which is close to the same environment as Florida. The multi-cam pattern does very well in a wide variety of trees, grass, or rocks, as advertised.

if your using it in the bush I have found that any multi color pattern will be better than one solid color 99% of the times.

One feature I really like on the Crye is the zippered collar. The TruSpec does not have that.

Also, Propper is about to release their licensed version of the FROG shirt that Crye and Propper was making for the USMC. Not available yet to dealers, but just as soon as I get info on them I'll post it here.

I was issued a 2 sets of Frog Suits in Iraq. I must say they are awesome because they are thin and allow alot of air in. If you can find some on Fleabay or where ever I highly suggest it. The wind just goes right through em....
