Title: New cotton ABUs available from Propper!
Post by: afgeo4 on December 01, 2008, 07:48:42 PM
Since we'll probably transition to the ABU within the next couple of years, and it being famously uncomfortable in hot weather, I thought this would be a good announcement:


Propper now sells 100% cotton ripstop ABUs with full NIR technology that meets military specifications. Propper is the USAF authorized manufacturer of ABUs.

If they were NYCO ripstop maybe... But 100% cotton, no thanks.

Interesting.  We knew they were working on it for the firefighter and EOD types.  Wonder how much "wash and wear" was brought foreward.

I need another pair too.

I was wondering that too. 100% cotton doesn't sound like permanent press.
