MArooned Product Review: LA Police Gear Long Term Review

I received a bunch of gear from LA Police Gear a couple months ago, and wanted to report back on the clothing portion of the gear. I've had a chance to wear everything multiple times, and have some long-term observations to report. First off, here's a representative sample of the clothing after ~ half a dozen times being worn and washed:

One Tactical Shirt

One Pair Tactical Pants

Considering that both items were pulled out of the clothes hamper, I'd say they're doing pretty damn well.

The shirts are extremely comfortable - they're about as close to a T-shirt as a dress-type polo can come, as far as I'm concerned. There's a handy little loop under the last button for your sunglasses which is a very neat touch and comes in quite handy; there's also a slot on the left sleeve for a couple of pens. I don't use this, because I guarantee I will forget the pens are there and send them through the washer... One of the three shirts lost a button at some point in the washing/drying cycle, but other than that they all have held up pretty well.

The pants are just amazingly useful. The Tactical Operator pants have all kinds of cargo pockets and other useful storage space, plus those D-rings come in handy, too. When we went to the amusement park over the weekend, I put the car keys on a carabiner and tucked them into the small front pocket - voila! No more worrying about the keys flying out on a ride! The cargo pockets have pockets inside them as well, which are very handy for keeping things like iPhones/PDAs/spare mags from banging against one's knees while in motion. The pants have held up extremely well with repeated washings, and show little-to-no wear after weekly use.

All in all, this is a great value for the money - I continue to give two thumbs enthusiastically up for the LA Police Gear tactical line.

That is all.
