Phantom multicam

[swatt13]

does anyone have knowledge on the quality of the replicam they use? fairly accurate, fade, likeness?
i run cp multicam under, so it must be more so like multicam. if anyone can post side by sides, and FIRST HAND knowledge, id appreciate it immensly!

It has a slightly greener overall tone to it compared to real CP Multicam.

Here's some pictures of a Phantom EOD on top of my Tru-Spec Multicam BDUs:

looks decent enough. in your opinion is it a good enough match? does it look fake or not right brian?

[ILLusion]

It's a good enough match... on top of CP MC, it might look a bit different, but unless you're anal, you won't notice it.

By itself, it looks fine.

i dunno, id say im fairly anal, but as long as its close and has the "yellowy/ green" ting as the real stuff and doesnt look fake i dont see the problem. my only other concern is fadeing. being phantom i trust them, but from what ive seen of replica mc im apprehensive. your rig brian, has it faded at all? do you reccommmend it?

I've never used that bag at all, although it's made of Cordura. The chance of it fading would be pretty tough.

The Tru-Specs I've compared it to in those photos are authentic Crye material that has been through one wash, hung dry.

a team mate got one, actually is very nice. not egsact and as brian said somewhat green. they use green as the base color rather than tan, only noticable side by side you, and even then it looks the part. i definatly reccommend it over any replica vest ive seen so far. i will get one if i cant track down an eagle plate carrier instead.

TRU-Spec and Propper Multicam are not CP Multicam fabric. They most likely look the same but they use the licensed pattern from Crye Precision on their fabric. CP does not produce any RIP-STOP fabric. This is my understanding on how it's possible for TRU and Propper to sell their Multicam uniforms for such a good price.

tru and propper only make bdus correct? or do they make a plate carrier? any links bruce?

I bought some Tru-Spec and they were loaded full of the Crye Precision tags, both sewn into the garment (it says Mulit-Cam) and attached with the plastic label thingy (those said Crye Precision). Mine aren't rip-stop either. I got them from Supply Sargeant in Edmonton.

Haha...I guess I should check Crye once in awhile to see what's new in stock.

Swatt13, yeah, I was refering to the BDUs only and don't think they make any plate carrier. I'm not going to say they don't because someone will post a plate carrier from them to prove me wrong again. ops:
