Tru-SpecMen's Tru 1/4 Zip Combat Shirt

I got Multicam Black in large regular. The fit is good. I'm 6'0 215lbs and it fits as expected.This is an acceptable combat shirt. I wouldn't put it in the same category as Crye, but it's price point is acceptable for what you get. It does not fit Crye Airflex Impact pads, the pockets are not long enough. If you find some that are about an inch and a half shorter though they would work.Zipper on the chest is ok, I am pretty gentle with zippers because even those on good quality shirts will fail if abused.Velcro is acceptable.Overall, good quality for the price. My recommendation for others is to spend the extra 60 on a Crye shirt though. I have both, figured I'd get a cheaper shirt for muddier and hotter environments, and this is ok. Total transparency though I will spend the extra money and get an extra Crye shirt in the future.

I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the most comfortable shirt overall I've worn in a long time, never mind it being a combat shirt. There's literally nothing about this I don't like, and the 85+ dollars was so worth it. Held up to abuse extremely well, the M81 Woodland pattern is spot on, and it's super breathable. Fits me perfectly. I'm an average sized but kind of skinny guy, and the medium regular was exactly what I was looking for. I was skeptical about buying initially because of how many cheap companies make combat shirt clones, but this is better than any other combat shirt I've worn to date.

For a long waisted heavier set guy it works really well, I'm hesitant on some of the stitching quality, and the shoulders could use some extra fabric for arm movement. Good quality on the arm pieces nice breathable chest material, will buy more but have to take them to a seamstress to get the shoulders worked on

So, recent urban socio-political developments have me feeling a lot less paranoid about previous body armor purchases. But in the unlikely (though distinctly possible) event that I've got to don body armor, it occurred to me I could do better than just a t-shirt underneath. The Tru-Spec 1/4 zip Combat shirt fills the bill. The torso is Cordura (polyester/cotton sleeves), which has some stretch. I'm 5' 9" with a 39" chest and 33" waist, 165 lb., so the sizing chart tells me to order Medium. That was loose in the chest and long in the sleeves though, and the Small fits without wrinkles in the torso (though by no means tight) with the sleeves the proper length. I've kept a Medium in khaki, as it's still wearable, but the Small fits the way it should (no wrinkles in the torso, which would probably get annoying under body armor). Long story short: these seem to run a little big. Sleeves have shoulder pockets with generous loop Velcro for patches. There's a pen pocket, but only on the left forearm, so lefties like me will have to keep doin' what we do and adapt to a rightie world. I'm not military any more, but I've got enough morale patches to make this feature welcome. Sleeves fit loosely as they should, and have Velcro cuffs to keep your hands from getting lost. Elbows have a reinforcing layer of fabric, which forms a Velcro secured pocket for an elbow pad. Sleeve fabric is a little stiff out of the package, but should soften up with wear and laundering. Definitely a welcome improvement over a simple t-shirt in terms of protection from "milkshakes" or whatever else rioters might be throwing around these days. I gave it 3 stars for warmth because this is a summer shirt (Tru-Spec makes a winter version in fleece that is suited to that season). I'd still recommend a mesh ventilation undervest like 221B Tactical makes, to maximize cooling and minimize body armor stink from sweat.

Great quality combat shirt, very soft on the skin and fits as described. I wish they made these in DCU.

The shirt looks really good. The chest and back are very breathable. The sleeve thickness is great and takes abuse well with no tears or major wear spots.

I purchased both a black and a multicam shirt. These items appear well finished. The pattern and colour of the multicam item is consistent with other multicam clothing items I own. The size medium is also consistent with the standard medium sizing of other similar products. The material is relatively soft and comfortable to wear. I expect it will be even more comfortable after a couple of washes. As pointed out by others who have reviewed this product it is very lightweight and the material on the body is very thin. While some may consider this detracts from the product I consider it an advantage as it makes it ideal for wear in the warmer environment. The sleeves have ample length and width. In regard to the criticism of the thickness of the elbow pads the elbows are fitted with pockets to enable the insertion of foam elbow pads. I can find no indication on the item or labelling as to the country of manufacture. I’m looking forward to field testing these items in the warmer months.

Tru spec always makes good field gear, the product was shipped fast and came exactly as advertised

I'd recommend putting on another layer underneath if you're doing any outdoors work; the material is lightweight as they say. All other product descriptions are accurate. Great buy all in all.

I bought this Marpat clone, as I needed it in the shortest period of time. The pattern is sufficient, not perfect, and the material is thin enough to keep me cool in hot environments, but also dries relatively fast.Where this short fails is in the dark! It is not NIR, meaning it glows bright white under night vision and will give you and your groups position away if your opponent is running with quality nods (Night Vision).I will use this in hot AO's for day use, but will use my cotton sleeved MARPAT shirt in the dark.4/5 rating, only because it was the brightest thing I have seen under nods.

Nice quality, whisks moisture away, fits true

All good specs of a good warm weather combat shirt. I was pleasantly surprised to find it had elbow pad pockets that fit my UF Pro pads too.
