XTREME Evolution: The New TRU XTreme Uniforms from TRU-SPEC

The evolution of the tactical response uniform is here! The newly designed T.R.U. Xtreme line of apparel by Tru-Spec is new for August 2010.

Everything has been re-designed from the ground up with this garment system. Specifically tailored to the tactical operator, the features found in the T.R.U. Xtreme are high-end without the price that you might expect.


The T.R.U. Xtreme system consists of 4 total garments: a shirt, pant, combat shirt and vest. The addition of a vest and a combat shirt to a tactical uniform gives the operator an efficient uniform that can be mission ready at a moments notice.


All that is required is to remove the uniform's vest and throw on body armor over the combat shirt. With a light, breathable base layer as the body of the combat shirt, the operator stays cooler and is more comfortable. When the mission is over, simply don the uniforms vest again to maintain a clean appearance.

The shirt and combat shirt both feature two slanted shoulder pockets with VELCRO® loop sided panels for attaching insignia. The angle of these pockets allow for quick access to the contents, but in addition to this top opening, a side zippered pocket is available as well behind the main pocket.


Tru-Spec has also included with each shirt a forearm document pocket that is removable and fits either the right or left sleeve. Mission notes, maps and codes can be safely stored under the water resistant window covered by a privacy flap. This flap has integrated slots for storing pens, markers or slim penlights. Additional pouches will be made available by Tru-Spec for various mission specific requirements in late 2010 - 2011.


The T.R.U. Xtreme pant could be considered one of the most comfortable tactical pants on the market. The slider waist is made to move with you and expands up to two inches. This is the same design found in the popular 24-7 tactical pant and included by request of some of the most elite operators.


Adding to the range of movement the entire pant is articulated to naturally follow the leg's bend and a diamond shaped gusted crotch provides a more relaxed fit.

Six total pockets and two knee pad pockets give this pant plenty of storage.


Both shirts as well as the pant feature Super Fabric® patches provide for extra high abrasion resistance to high wear areas in the knees and elbows. Super Fabric® is designed to be cut and stain resistant and extends the life of your uniform versus traditional re-enforced designs.

All of the garments in the T.R.U. Xtreme garment system are made from rugged lightweight 50/50 Nylon Cotton (NyCo) Ripstop fabric for added comfort in any season.

Solid colors will be available August 15, 2010 while MULTICAM® will be available October 15, 2010.

Doing Good - How you can help our Armed Forces.

With Memorial Day almost upon us, we thought it would be a good idea to highlight some of the many great groups groups that help our men and women in uniform. Note: we have compiled a more complete list on our site here.

The United Service Organization

These are the people that help keep up the morale of our warfighters. Whether they are greeting military travelers at airports, promoting military events at home or sending a piece of home to deployed soldiers, the USO has been there every step of the way. You can help the USO by volunteering or by donating funds to support their mission. Lastly, an easy way to express your support is by sponsoring a care package. For just $25 you can send about $75 worth of need items along with a personal note of support.

The Wounded Warrior Project

The WWP is dedicated to making sure our service men and women are not forgotten and have grown to be come an advocate for those injured from their service to our country. You too can get involved by becoming a Wounded Warrior advocate. Help a service person find a job by coaching them on their resume. Volunteer at an event. Or donate money and help sponsor many of the direct programs that benefit wounded warriors. The greatest casualty is being forgotten. Help the WWP to make sure that doesn't happen.

eMail our Military

When the Depart of Defense canceled the popular Any Service member postal program, many average Americans lost a way to connect and support their deployed service personnel. The eMOM or (eMail our Military) group was started as a way to fill that gap. There are many simple things you can do and they don't take a lot of effort or money. Check out their site to see how you can help.

Veterans Airlift Command

Wounded troops from our recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan sometimes require extensive travel in order to reach their family or medical facilities for care. The VAC sprang into action as a grass roots effort to utilize a special group of people: Private plane owners and their fleet of aircraft. These passionate Americans have since formed a network that pairs a wounded warrior with a pilot or aircraft owner to help them meet their needs. If you are an aircraft owner or pilot, consider adding yourself to the network or donate funds to help defer the cost of fuel and other expenses. Click here and help be the wind beneath the Veterans Airlift Command.

Dog Tags for Kids

Nothing warms your heart more than the smiling face of a youngster. All to often though, the children of a deployed service member have a burden they aren't ready for. This organization grew from the need to keep the connection between families, even if they were miles apart. Now you too can support a deployed soldier with children by sponsoring a simple set of engraved dog tags. Click here to get behind this worthy cause.

Memorial Day Weekend - Keeping the Spirit Alive

With Memorial Day fast approaching, we thought it would be prudent to talk about the history of this day and what we, as Americans, should be doing to keep the spirit alive.

Memorial Day originally was called Decoration Day and was created to honor the Union dead of the Civil War. Over time, as hostilities over the bloody war between the states subsided, the more inclusive "Memorial" replaced "Decoration" and the perception of a national holiday grew. Memorial Day became even more popular following World War II, but it wasn't until 1967 that it became a federal holiday. During the 1970s the traditional date of Memorial Day was finally established, the last monday in May.

That was the abridged version, if you want more details, learn more about Memorial Day here.

What does Memorial Day mean to you now? How does it rank in your life? Obviously, we should thank our armed forces everyday that we live in a free country. This weekend especially, though, we need to take a moment to remember the fallen.

Memorial Day weekend isn't just about opening our pools and grilling hot dogs. Countless soldiers have paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy and sometimes take for granted. Please remember, wherever you are on Monday, May 31st, take a moment at 3pm to remember that freedom isn't free. It was paid for by the men and women of our brave armed forces. Learn more about what you can do on this day here.
