This is more of a review on airforce issue 27-P. As this product is ammazingly simmilar most of my personal experience is transfurable.
Pros
-Velcro on the ends of the sleeves make them easy to roll up on hot days. They also aid in traping heat on cooler ones.
-Its a one piece uniform.
-Deep zipper pockets make storing item easier.
-They have a elastic band around the wast so as to help with the fit.(just make sure you get the right length)
-Patches are easily interchangable due to the velcrow that is sewn onto the uniform.
-Fire resistant (the one showin in the picture is made of 65% polyester/35% cotton twill, instead of nomex and kevlar threading, it is most likely not fire resistant.)
Cons
-The material breathes (nomex ones that is)
--Meaning that it is hot durring the summer, and cold durring the winter.
-The zippers on the knee pockets hang right over the knee-cap. This makes lowcrawling a painful experience.
-The pockets are deep. This is a Con as well as a Pro, because while you have the room to store more stuff you also have the problem of locating said stored stuff.
-They show up really well on NVGs and if you are caught under an IR light your glow. More so then starched BDUs.
-Its a one piece uniform, If you get hot, and when its hot you will, there is no way to remove your top other then zipping it down and tieing it around your waist.
-The tan 27-P have a tendency to turn slightly pink after long term wear and washes.(only slightly, and you have to wash it 100+ times to acheive this effect)
-If they are to small for the person wearing them the seem that runs up the behind area tends to give the user a wedge over time.
This is just a few things I\'ve noticed through my own observations. Even though I score this a 6 every member of my team has a 27-P as the standard uniform. I personaly think that they look really professional and even though they are slightly flawed in areas I still use them for scrimishing.
Brand new they are around $80, but you can find slightly used ones for about $40.
