Airsoft Jerseys

[Dusti69]

what about regular old ripstop bdu's but every inch of the material is covered in little holes like a football jersey? anything like that exist? or something that is extremly breathable but waterproof at the same time

Yes. At least in Canada. That's kind of the point.

now that's something interesting that might work. If it is a BDU, that looks authentic but has venting in strategic places and is made more from a breathable material, would that work? The authentic stuff needs to be extremely durable of course. I'm looking at more breathability but sacrifice on durability. From a distance, it will look authentic but not up close. Would that work?

um ripstop cotton bdu's are pretty tough. just ventilate them a lot
and like i said before. market new ideas and stuff like this in america, cuz well buy just about anything down here. for example take a look at the hunting and fishing industries. just walk into a basspro or cabelas and look at all the gimmicy junk thats sposed to make you better at hunting and fishing but is just a bunch of needless crap

Ok now that is funny and yet so true! I remember walking into a Cabelas with a friend who used to own an outdoors store here and we spent hours going through laughing at all the junk that is supposed to make people better outdoorsmen!

Gotta love the people who think camping/hunting involves a 5th Wheel or Motorhome

yeah ripstop cotton will be a problem because one of the main things we do is sublimation. For those who don't know what it is, it is basically printing onto a garment. Sublimation doesn't work on cotton very well, only polyester.

I guess the route I think I'll go is to go with a generic shirt like a 5.11 HRT and make it available in any camouflage pattern know to man and use venting/breathable material. I don't think I can afford to buy every BDU out there and replicate it using different materials.

here you go. for the win!
in this you will be twice as ready for anything than the average airsofter deck out in a bunch of gear

A friend had a UA skullcap for under his boonie and loved it!

I also own underarmour, its amazing. Although I do prefer lululemon and usually wear that instead, essentially the same crap just sexier. My on the move jacket is the comfiest thing in the world for CQB, also lulu is Canadian!

For under BDU's, compression stuff is great. UA almost never goes on sale, but other quality brands I use are Nike Dri-Fit and Ice Gear.

Other than making similar stuff to go under our BDU's, I can't think of much of a market.

So you image-link the dude, but not the hot woman in a bikini.

Wow.

I think your best bet would be an under garmet for airsofting. Like what the others said it does work and I use one too.

Another thing you can look at since (I don't want to say it) winter is already around the corner are tactical fleece and jackets (If you can do it) because I know some of us, there is no such thing as cold weather if your shooting!

+1

If we can combine the aesthetics or airsoft combined with comfort (something to keep us warm and/or dry) then you'll have something worthwhile.

Curse you for reminding me of winter!!!
