Softshells/ Solid tops.

Postby Icepick » Sat Jan 08, 2011 8:40 pm

Where can I get a solid colored top for less money? I wanted something along the lines of a Condor softshell... Does anybody make knock-offs of those? Would somewhere like Andy & Bax carry some less exspensive solid-tops?

Any inexspensive fleeces?

(As long as it isn't a misc. sweater from Target then I don't care what you link.)

Yes, I dont know what your limit is but I just ordered a Condor softshell from Evike and its incredible. it was 45$ and I was questioning myself on the price but its totally worth it. I hope this helps

If you are going to Lords of War in February, Riddick is ordering the Condor Phatom (I think it is called) softshell and selling them at his cost for $55. Let me tell you as an owner of one, $55 is well worth the cost.

How would one make a knock-off of a knock-off brand, I wonder? Dunno if you'll find what you're looking for if you're looking for a cheap alternative to a cheap alternative.

Well, you learn something new everyday now don't you? I'll save that in my airsoft "memory-bank" for future reference, thanks.

Riddick, I bet you get this a lot but do you mind saving one? Or is it a one time deal only? (I wear a size XL so I imagine that there would be a few left over.)

I order them on a individual basis only so there is no extras.

Unless you want the sleeve velcro, you could probably buy a Colombia jacket for less than $40. I got a black jacket that looks almost the same as a soft-shell for $25 there.

What about this with a shirt under it?

It says that it is a base, so I would assume in cold weather you wear this with a softshell. (May sound obvious.)

I think that is meant as like a under layer thermal but im not posative. Just the way it looks skin tight and what the material it is made of. Not sure though.

I looked on their website and didn't find anything... This is going to sound even dumber than the past posts but oh well, I'm going to the Gun & Knife show at the Expo center tomorrow... They may have something along the lines of this, and other misc. goodies that relate to airsoft. :lol:
