MEET THE MAKER - PROPPER<br />
PROPPER GEAR<br />
Although not “fashion driven” per se tactical clothing and gear brands appear to go in and out of vogue,<br />
but there’s one brand that’s been with us for 50 years and that’s Propper from the USA; Bill takes a look at<br />
the brand and what they have to offer us.<br />
Over the years I’ve owned clothing and gear from just about<br />
every major tactical manufacturer out there; some of it<br />
has been absolutely first rate whilst other items have<br />
been relegated to the “not fit for purpose” bin, and I’m<br />
afraid to say that once I’ve found a brand wanting it takes<br />
an awful lot to rekindle my faith in them.<br />
Whilst I was living in the USA and out on the range a<br />
lot more regularly than I am now I looked for relatively<br />
inexpensive yet hard-wearing tactical clothing, and found it in the form<br />
of the Propper BDU pant; believe it or not, even after many years and<br />
many washes the pants are actually still going, although in fairness they<br />
do look a bit beaten up and faded these days; that however is after<br />
nearly 16 years of use, so I’m not going to quibble in any way that this<br />
kit is not fully “fit for purpose”!<br />
