St Matt Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Has anyone had any experience with the Elite Tactical Clothing brand? I quite fancy some of their gen 2 style trousers but cant find much info on them. Anyone tried a pair or any other items of their range? Link to post Share on other sites
hugo3891 Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have two sets of the Gen 2 Trousers. Really good quality for the price. Extremely comfy. The height of the knee pad can be raised or lowered as seen fit. Used mine for four - five months now and no fading of the Multicam pattern. Definitely get my vote. Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 I've got a pair of the black versions. One thing about the knee pads is that they seem to turn inwards by default, a bit strange since my actual knees do not do this.. but when you kneel it all falls into place. Worth the money.

biscuitninja Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Well worth it IMO. Got a set of the multicam trousers + ubacs. Only complaint is the shirt is a little shiny on the inner wicking section. But very comfy, durable and have held up well (just follow washing instructions - I've had no fading). Have the opposite with the knee pads though - mine sit slightly out! But as mentioned, when you take a knee it all slots into place! Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Was just wondering, how did you adjust the height? It has a strap for adjustment near the knee but the pad is still a little low on my shin. The height of the knee pad can be raised or lowered as seen fit. Link to post Share on other sites
biscuitninja Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 My set have small adjusters in the front pockets to raise the knee height Link to post Share on other sites

St Matt Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Thanks for the replies guy! Just gotta wait for them to come back in stock now - dammit!! Link to post Share on other sites
biscuitninja Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Ah, I went for these back when they were in a bundle with the ubacs. They're the ones with the adjustable knee pads (being a copy of the Crye gen 3 pants). Don't think the other linked trousers have them. http://ukmcpro.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=yagendoo_VaMazing_zoom2.tpl&product_id=5233&category_id=438&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=113 Oh, the membership for a fiver is worth it if you're buying anything over £50, or plan on making any future purchases too - 10% off Link to post Share on other sites

St Matt Posted March 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 The only all green ones I have seen are the Crye ranger green ones or the TMC copies also in ranger green on ebairsoft. Link to post Share on other sites

Ebairsoft had OD trousers once. I regret not picking up a copy when I had the chance. have you seen these ? http://www.baselinesupplies.co.uk/clothing/claw_gear_stalker_mk2_trousers/claw_gear_stalker_mk_2_od_green_trouser_P3418.html just noticed they only have large in stock and the actual claw gear site is "under construction" but if you can find them anywhere they are nice trousers!! They look great. I'll have to check out the sizing chart. I'm usually medium-long. Like a big medium Link to post Share on other sites
FTZ-WildeCard Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 The only all green ones I have seen are the Crye ranger green ones or the TMC copies also in ranger green on ebairsoft. Just picked up the RG copies - fit wise, they are LOADS better than the Elite Tactical trousers I have (the black, non-adjustable kneepad versions). The kneepads are at the correct height, and the kneepads aren't skewed inwards. Downsides, they used light stitching so they look almost casual - maybe it's just me. Size wise, I ordered L rather than the M I have in Elite Tactical just to be cautious, actually the L from the TMC copies is just fine, so if you usually take a M in the UK that might be something to bear in mind. I haven't had a chance yet to skirmish in them, but will do so this weekend so will be able to comment more on comfort and toughness of the TMC trousers. Though, at £20 or so cheaper than the Elite Tactical, at this point in time I'd say go TMC - but that opinion may change yet/ Link to post Share on other sites
biscuitninja Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Be interested to hear how they hold up to a bit of abuse. While the Elite adjustable pants were about £40 they've stood up to a lot so far. If the TMC ones hold together I might have to pick up a set Link to post Share on other sites
Shardik Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I've had two pairs of Emerson pants for around a year. Used and abused. Still going strong. Link to post Share on other sites

While the Elite adjustable pants were about £40 they've stood up to a lot so far. If the TMC ones hold together I might have to pick up a set They were brilliant! Found them a lot more comfortable than the ET trousers. Most notably the knee pads stayed in the right place and the general cut and material seemed nicer! This was running around in hot hot weather at Sandpit, so if there was ever a chance for discomfort it would've been during that skirmish, but had none whatsoever! Highly recommended! Just an aside about durability... I didn't slide along the gravel or stones in them, but I did go prone, crawl a bit, etc etc -- and this is more than I usually care to get on the ground. With that in mind they held up just fine and I'll pop back and update once I've had a few more skirmishes with them. Link to post Share on other sites
biscuitninja Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Sounds like I'm going to have to get me a pair! Nice to hear they stand up to a bit of abuse at the Sandpit, where I'm planning on using them! Link to post Share on other sites
