I believe those "commercial" type of ACU's in the article was talking about the commercial version without the NSN. When ACU hit AAFES back in early April (if I remember correctly), they also had stocked ACU's without the glint tapes. Some soldier posted the pics he took at the store. Think I saw it on military.com's fourms...
I haven't seen the issued version to be able to really say what's different (aside from the IR squares) - though I'm kinda curious to see. But meh, this is for airsoft - it doesn't really matter. :innocent: |

I wasn't positive about their approval (Tru-Spec), but I do know that they're purchased and worn by the troops. |

I have the tru-spec Issue set and it is the 50-50 with NSN number etc. I even researched the NSN number and was able to read about the tru-spec contract with the military (thanks to google!). Some other guys have the Propper made sets and they are the exact same. Both the propper and tru-spec did not have the IR squares, but I have actually read about them melting in the clothes dryer

edit: You can not tell the difference between the material on the two because they are both made from the same fabric. Poncho has a tru-spec blouse and propper bottom, and it was only after finding the propper tag on the pant that he realized it wasn't tru-spec... Of course we bought them stateside

Just an update! The Tru-Spec MARPAT that I bought two weeks ago. It shows fading in some parts. I ordered another pants my size from a surplus store made by either American Apperel or Propper.
