Crye Precision Combat Pants Comparison

[@laurieheymans9809]

This is good to know considering I have purchased three Combat Uniforms with the elbow and knee pads built in great video thanks😀👍

[@allthecommonsense]

Very well done. Will be interesting to see how G4s compare.

[@uwu_demon5494]

1:19 I see your pull out game is strong. Great video tho

[@18Svea]

thanks a lot for this video, great explanations would love to see the comparison with the copies... are you still planning to make that video?

[@thenetnewb]

Thank you for the informative video! Great content!

[@abhinavaggarwal4062]

very well done. Thank you

[@carlosleonardogomezhidalgo1573]

Most of the people who wear those pants with knee pad don’t blouse them when wearing boots. Makes me think are those pants designed differently so you don’t have to blouse them to your boot or it’s because they just don’t want to blouse them?

[@jcheysel1]

Thanks, Great review

[@sachiyth]

How’s the fit on it man? Is it true to size? Thanks man

[@Tremulousnut]

Been planning to buy some ACs - Where do you recommend doing reinforcement stitchings?

[@Xero852]

Nowhere, only stitching that has needed to be done on any of my Crye pants has been to fix tears, and I've not had tears along any seams yet.

[@cybergoth665]

Tremulousnut what is your size? I have a pair that are too long for me. Trying to sell them.

[@Xero852]

cybergoth665 32/34 Extra Long is what I'm buying now.

[@Tracks777]

Lovely content! Keep it up!

[@Austinjavier76]

Super helpful

[@alexanderz8517]

Thanks! Nice video, okay? :)

[@capcamouflagepatterni6162]

Not a railroad stitch, it's a serger stitch. It's a way of finishing edges so they do not fray.

[@mizukiuke7447]

i subbed because i herd you kitty in the background XD (also nice video)

[@Chavylifts]

I think the ac look the best but the g3 is probably the most reliable pant

[@ezskanken]

Is the Airflex a hard pad? Thinking about trying a pair out for hunting.

[@Xero852]

The standard Airflex is just foam. The Airflex Combat pads are a combination of foam and harder plastic/rubber compound.

[@jimbob1928]

Will air flex knee pads fit in gen 2 ac’s ?

[@Xero852]

Yup! Airflex and AC pads are cross compatible. AC pads are SLIGHTLY bulkier and larger, but they'll fit tightly in G3 pants as well. Airflex pads will fit in AC/NC pants no problem. Haven't tried the G4 stuff yet. Waiting on Ranger Green availability.

[@internetman1213]

Where are the tags located within these 3 pants? Are they generally within one area or are they sporadic?

[@Xero852]

G3s are almost all the same, printed on the inside of one of the zippered access pockets. Essentially making contact with your butt cheek if you have the pants on. ACs and NCs have changed locations over the years. Some are under the front waist closure zipper (beside the buttons for NCs). But most are located on the inside of a pocket like the G3s. It's a different pocket through, if I'm remembering right it's one of the main open-top access pockets near your crotch.

[@xmini24]

hey Xeropoint do u know where i can buy some Crye G3 Combat Pants and shirts in AOR 1 & 2?

[@creggy7001]

They only way to get them is to be a Navy SEAL. They issue crye aor1 and aor2 to seals only. Or you can get lucky and find some on ebay for like 1k.

[@creggy7001]

There is also a guy who make custom cyes from scratch . Maybe you can find something here facebook.com/groups/807151342686715/.

[@Xero852]

The Facebook group linked by Creggy is probably your best bet. I haven't seen many Crye sets in AOR1 or AOR2 circulating on eBay recently. There's a lot of other Facebook groups dedicated to buy/sell of AOR pattern gear you can check.

[@abhinavaggarwal4062]

how important are the knee pad adjusters ?

[@Xero852]

Abhinav Aggarwal depends on the person and how their legs are proportioned. I have really long legs, so I don't adjust the height at all, I leave them as low as possible. I know guys my height that adjust them up a bit because they have shorter legs than me but more height in their torsos... It all depends on the individual person. For me, I don't need them. Some people love it though.

[@abhinavaggarwal4062]

ok. do you know what fabric are the stretch panels made of ?

[@Xero852]

I do not work for Crye Precision, so no, I do not know exactly what materials they use. You would have to call them directly for that kind of specific information.

[@glleboy2233]

Were do u get the other camos bc there not on the website ?

[@Xero852]

Glleboy Any Crye Precision stuff in a camo not listed on the website isn't usually available for civilian sale. You need to get it from people it was issued to. Lots of AOR stuff has been showing up on eBay and such recently, I think because they're mostly transitioning back to multicam for the most part.

[@glleboy2233]

XeroPoint oh ok thanks

[@Tremulousnut]

There are loads of Crye stuff not on the open/civilian market (like custom orders for SWAT or foreign militaries). You pretty much have to buy stuff on the grey market (through trades or special channels).

[@橋本絵莉子]

How long do they last when I drift and slide them ?

[@Xero852]

I've slid on almost all of mine dozens of times. It's not a really useful tactic though, so I generally avoid sliding.

[@JAAPJXBIT]

Any way you can make this same video with crye field pants and shirts?

[@Xero852]

I have an AC combat shirt and some G3 combat shirts. Have G3 and LAC field pants as well, but not sure I have access to any AC fields... Will have to check.

[@JAAPJXBIT]

@@Xero852 Anything works man. Your videos are by far the best informative ones when it comes to this. I have my g3 air 1 and 2 sets (working on getting Drifires), but I have some interest in field pants (due to the kneepads falling out sometimes) since I think they may work better for longer "Reece" type situations. The field shirts are just curiosity for me as I really got no use for them but have seen some in eBay and I like to blow money on dumbsh!t lol so why not. Thanks a lot!

[@duwayneforbes7608]

This gear is standers issued to SEAL Teams...

[@Xero852]

Yes.

[@Kurio71]

over-engineered

[@alexstewart167]

How much?

[@Xero852]

Alex Stewart what?

[@alexstewart167]

The pants, let me get some!

[@Xero852]

Alex Stewart these are all 32 or 34 Long. Only ones I'd be willing to sell from this video are the NC AOR1.

[@alexstewart167]

XeroPoint perfect I'm 32/32

[@Xero852]

Alex Stewart 7 bills US shipped for the NC AOR1 shown in the video here.

[@subaschen8595]

What's your opinion of the stretch fabric above the knees? I understand that its advantageous in allowing for better knee mobility, but I'm a little skeptical considering that it appears to be flimsier than the nyco ripstop fabric. I know it's a rather unlikely situation, but I would just be concerned about the stretch fabric ripping if it were to be snagged on a bush branch or something like that. It also looks to be less abrasion resistant than they nyco material; that could be an issue when going prone and rubbing the stretch fabric against the ground and stuff. Overall, just wanted to know how durable the fabric is, thanks in advance.

[@Xero852]

It's definitely less durable than the NYCO material. Most common point of failure on the Crye pants is the stretch from what I've seen. That said, it's not a flimsy material. You'd need to do some fairly abusive crawling in the prone position to get it to tear or rip. Even though it's less durable than the NYCO, the fact that it's stretchy slightly mitigates the fact that it's weaker. It's more likely to stretch than it is to tear. All that said, it's not really something I'd worry much about. I've seen various salty and super used Crye pants from various special forces unit guys come back in extremely beat up condition. Typically there might be some small holes in the stretch material, but usually the biggest holes and tears are still in places you'd expect. Seat of the pants, inseam, cargo pockets, and the NYCO material at the bottom of the kneepad pocket (gets ground into the ground whenever you take a knee just like normal pants).

[@subaschen8595]

XeroPoint Thanks for all that, really appreciate the quick reply (currently 2 AM here lol wtf am i doing) Anyways, overall would you consider the stretch fabric to be more benefitial than it is a setback? Btw I find it pretty neat that you've have personal accessibility to combat worn gear, and sf personnel of course.

[@Xero852]

I worked in a gun shop for a while, and I'm a gear enthusiast/hoarder so I've had the opportunity to talk with and trade/buy things from various military guys, including some SF. The stretch is definitely worth having. Like I said, it rarely actually gets ripped/destroyed. Much more common is the NYCO getting rips and holes in the big cargo pockets and ass. I've tried modified combat pants with Crye style kneepad pockets sewn on top of the knee area. Without the stretch, the kneepads just don't sit right when you take a knee.

[@subaschen8595]

XeroPoint Hmm alright, pretty cool. Btw sorry for posting two replies, the first one didn't appear initially for some reason
