Crye
Is it over? I was checking their website. A lot of their stuff is out of stock. You guys think it was a flash in the pan and now they're done?

Caleb Crye was at Rogers' Shooting School last fall when I went to the carbine course. Apparently he uses the stuff alot (in a training environment) to try to get a better understanding of what the trigger-puller needs. He said that for the forseeable future, almost everything they make goes to (a) military end-user(s). He didn't specify who. It sounded like it would be a looong time before the armor is available to the general public.
However, I can't tell you any thing current, sorry.
ETA: Looks like the shirts are still avalable in many sizes, but the field pants are only available in a few oddball sizes and the combat pants aren't available at all. I can't remember any time when the combat pants were available to the general public.

There are civies that have the combat pants. If anybody hears, I would love to know which military is using it. I like the pattern and think it's a shame if it didn't get picked up somewhere.

the raw material is still going out to the vendors, are you talking about final end-use products?

Aren't they in cahoots with the Army of Darkness now? (BW) I remember seeing the boonie cap they designed and I thought that the ventilation system is better than the one we use. So I sent them an email a while back and they told me that they would be making some of their stuff in ACU pattern in the future.

I thought I saw a picture of German KSK wearing them Afghanistan. It didn't look like any of their fleck patterns.....but I could be wrong.

Has anybody heard (good or bad) about Crye's new Armor System? I know they are currently bidding for a DoD contract but I was wondering if there were any reports from the field on the prototypes. I've looked on their website but found info to be scarce.

There is a guy who reviews alot of new military gear that comes out and has some good reviews worth reading.
He actually got the crye uniforms, boonie hats, etc from the company for testing and maybe you guys can check it out on his website.
http://www.militarymorons.com/
As an outsider, I sometimes wonder who makes the important decisions on uniform designs such as the ACU...fair enough it looks nice, but if it isnt practical or it wasnt suitable for desert use, why on earth didnt they realize this during the testing phase, which I assume they had?

This Company is unbelievable!!!!
FYI to ALL:
My wife ordered me a ICE Tactical belt back in Nov (17 Nov 06) as a Christmas persent. Well to DATE I or we have yet to get it. We started out by emailing them to see what the back log was. See they state on their web site that there is currently a 6 week back ordered. My wife was fine with this, But back in Jan she started to email to find out what the status was. She got nothing. Then it turned to "Hey if you can't get the order here by Feb 14 then please let me know." After which she just wanted her money back to get me a belt from SOFTECH or TT or somewhere else. Ice Tactical never emailed here back, I started to email them, she started to call them. I have called them twice over this and nothing to date.
So if you are planning on getting something from them (ICETACIAL.COM) think about the back log and Costumer service. I'll let you know when I get my belt or money back. off to call them again. BTW - there number is to a answering machine.. shows how much they care about their costumers.
If you like Cyre pattern camo , like I do, go with HSGI, TT BD Tactical or someone that makes there own stuff!! HSGI & TT is where I go to now for Crye pattern gear.

I have one from Diamondback Tactical. You might have to wait a bit for it, but they won't screw you.

That is about the 25th report I have read or heard about where ICE Tac has screwed someone over. Looks like I will treat them like BOTACH.
