inrut Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Can't go wrong with techwear. Animal is good also, but quality is so so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockerSV Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I have nothing but good stuff to say about any of the techwear stuff I have, plus, they put a good chunk of money back into the sport and that is huge to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHMSA15151 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I have a Techwear jersey and have only had it about 6 months so I can't speak to any wear & tear issues or longevity. I can say they we great folks to work with and very helpful. Mine is through The Blue Bullets contingency program but I wanted to add my local club's logo on the sleeve. I didn't have the correct type of file with the design and they took care of making it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Studentofthegun Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm going to show my ignorance in a major way here, so brace yourselves... The people I see at matches wearing jerseys are typically people who have sponsorships, right? Or is it also a fashion thing? Sorry, I know this is a really dumb question but I've only done a few IDPA matches and 2-gun rimfire. Nobody at my matches is wearing anything with logos on it, so I was just curious.

The ones wearing jerseys are a mix. Some have sponsors. Some have them for "fashion". Some for practical reasons (they breath very well). I have one that is personalized to represent me. I have zero sponsors. I also like that they breath very well. Some in IDPA and some of the other sports see jerseys as a "gamer thing". That's my take on it from what I've seen and heard. I've been to matches (not IDPA) where if you wear a jersey and/or shoot USPSA, Steel Challenge, etc. You are looked down upon as a "f#&%ing gamer" and they do let you know you are not welcomed as "one of their crowd". I, frankly, don't care. It fits me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, frankly, don't care. It fits me. Interesting that people would look down on you. Maybe I'm just ignorant but all shooting matches are "games". The breathability of the garment makes a heck of a lot of sense. I have this Reebok shirt that was probably designed for people playing basketball, but it is comfortable and it works. The local matches I go to don't have anyone running around with the jerseys. But I was thinking about going to the 2-gun rimfire nationals, and wanted to blend in. Seems most people have jerseys there. Really appreciate your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrysuperhawk Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) I know why the gunsta link is busted, it is .com.ph not .com/ph The site is in the phillipines, thus the .ph, and google displays the search wrong - depending on your browser. it should be... well, apparently IE11 is too outdated to allow me to actually paste the address... http://www.thegunsta.com.ph/index.html As far as the IDPA guys looking down jerseys...Yeah, that happened. In my Experience the IDPA guys are like the Harley riders of the shooting world. if you aren't IDPA then you are "lesser". Funny (unrelated) story... I almost got tossed out of an IDPA match (a night match no less) for shooting too fast with my "tricked out race gun" (a stock Springfield TRP - the only 1911 I had with night sights). Then, after the last stage, I offered to swap equipment with guy that was giving me the business about my choice of hardware and re-shoot the stage. He was shooting a glock 26, and I beat both him and my own time with the 1911 with the G26 using his IWB holster. He went to the RM insisting that I must be cheating, but I was already packed up and leaving. Can't we all just get along?

gng4life Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I just got in some shirts from Gunsta, really nice design and great guys. These seem to run a tad smaller than my TechWear. http://www.thegunsta.com.ph And use another browser like Chrome or Firefox. IE will be going away soon (replacing it).

grantwoodok Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 IDPA shooters for the most part are wanabe's. FBI, CIA, Militray, LEO etc. I see them as the Mall Cops of the world...

For me it's a bit of both if you include comfort with fashion. My jersey is through The Blue Bullets program which gives shooters a discount on product. Not exactly what most would consider "sponsored" but it's a great program for even average shooters like me to get a discount while promoting a good product. The fashion side of it, although the Blue Bullets logo is pretty cool looking, is that it's a shirt that is comfortable and easy to move in for 3 gun.

Mahlsan Posted July 6, 2015 Share Posted July 6, 2015 Boss finally gave the go ahead to get some shirts for those of us who shoot to get the store logo on them. After doing some research, did animal customs shut down. I liked the options they had and have researched them in the past, can't find them now.

Rivr_runnr Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Regrettably, Animal is no longer an option. I was informed they are out of business by Mondo himself. We have moved to Techwear at double the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birddog6424 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 G2Gemini makes excellent shirts. My shirt from last year was made by them and I beat up it pretty hard with no negative results. My shirt coming from Burris is also G2. My current shirt is Techwear. It's definitely very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDA Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I personally wear soccer jerseys (adidas Climacool or Nike Dri-fit). Have one for Chicago Fire, Argentina, Germany, Japan, Serbia...doubles as non-shooting jerseys, they are light, cool, and move well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueknight749 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I have two different Gunsta jerseys that I've had for about 3 yrs. No complaints. I went to Animal Custom with a new design since they are were local. Halfway thru the order process, they refunded me the cash and closed up shop from one night to the next and no one knows why. I reached out to Gunsta and its been 45 days without a response from them. Looks like my price point is going up and I'm going with techwear...SMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
