This Company SUCKKKSS!!!!!!!
My wife ordered my a ICE Belt last November and we have yet to get it from them. No returned Emails or Phone calls. She filed a BBB form.. still nothing. If you want their stuff, you better be on a Mil Contract or get from elsewhere.

I bought a pair of these and they are better than the ACUs. They are a bit heavier material and the Velcro in the pockets is much heavier duty.

which company sucks? If you're referring to Crye, they do not make the ICE belt, they make the BLAST belt which is markedly different

I have a set as well, very impressed, material is tougher and more comfortable than the ACU.
Only bad part I've noticed is the velcrow goes completely across the cargo pockets, great for keeping things in, but hard to get the pocket open to get things out, loud too.
I still like buttons, buttons and the elastic cord would work nicley, perhaps work out a way to have the velcrow as a secondarly if you won't be needing acess?
I've tried finding a place the could sew buttons into my acu pockets in a way they wouldn't be seen but most say they don't have the equiptment to do it..

Egg,
I stand corrected.. Its Integrated Combat Equipment that Sucks. Your right on who make which belt. My wife ordered the one from ICE, their Combat ICE Belt.. All I can speak of is ordering through ICE. Never recieved my belt, and have called, emailed and done the BBB Memo.
I will say, the Crye items I have seen and used are great. Can't say which one they where all from. So many different Companies are buying their (Crye) Camo. Their Baby Armor is the heat. Got to see it and I like it. The side "Clips" are the only thing I didn't like really. But the end user said not problems with it during training. He liked it. From what I could tell, everyone did too.

I have two sets in OD I use for work sometimes. Good quality stuff. They are coming out with MC - in fact it is already out in at least one place.

My only gripe with the Crye is the cost.
Damn, that stuff is pricey!

Has anyone here tried out the acual Crye MC uniforms??
How do the sizes run? I like the design but I have the feeling that due to the agressive cut they won't fit me very well as I have huge legs; even in acu's I have to get a size larger than my waist so they fit me in the legs.

Crye MC uniforms
Crash,
The Combat Shirts run small so I had to get a size larger than my BDU's. I usually wear a Med Reg in BDU's and got a Large in Crye. Crye also makes the Combat Shirt so that it is loose fitting which I found better while wearing body armor. The tight fitting shirt is ok and it is similar to the fit of Under Armor with MC sleeves.
The pants run a little large. I wear between a 32 to 34 waist depending on how long I am home, and got a 32 Combat Pant. They are a little snug but loosen up once out in the field. I understand that they are redesigning the pants at this time, so I don't know what they are like yet. I may be getting them soon so I will let you know. I hope that helps.
Phil

I tried to order some Multi Cam Cordura from them three times. Every time they said my billing address was wrong. Thing is its the same address I use everywhere else with no problem. When I called the girl insisted I was the problem. I asked if she could please check because I use that address everywhere else. She insisted my address was wrong even after reading the correct address back to me.
I guess I will have to get the gear made in plain old Ranger Green. See what happens when one company controls the worlds Multi Cam. I miss the power I had with the Govt credit card. If it was a Govt credit card they would of had the president of Cry calling to apologize.
I use to love to watch the change of attitude in clerks when they realized you weren't just buying something for yourself but looking to outfit an entire Company with their product. Even thou it was a little more expensive we always would purchase locally before using the Internet. We liked supporting the local economy. Most times they matched the Internet prices when we told them this anyway.

NDD,
I bought the OD and the MC. I liked the OD pair better because they were lighter than MC. MC pair were very similar to winter weight BDU trousers. I wore the OD pair for the same amount of time and they seemed to breathe more. www.LAPolicegear.com is where I made my purchase. MC was $65 just for the trousers though.

I heard a rumor today and doubt it's authenticity but thought I would ask.
Is the Army moving to the multicam and getting rid of the ACU. I doubt it just because of the cost but would love for this rumor to be true.
Thanks

Rumor I've heard is not the Amry but USSOCOM elements.
USSOCOM will fund the R&D then the Amry will pick up the fielding after we have gotten them. Well after every other USSOCOM unit then SF Grps will get them. My Rant.
But thats what I've heard.

I heard the exact same thing today from one of my SSGLs (from his BN S4)who is taking a Company in the 95th. Like you I am suspect due to the amount of money put into the ACU.
