Allwin PCU test

Short Round · April 2nd, 2012, 14:41

Wanted to test how "resistant" this stuff is compared to my 5.11 jacket.

Pretty damn close

lol all over your carpet... was looking at some of that allwin stuff... not sure about the sizing as I'm a bigger dude. Stuff from asia is kind of hit or miss in sizing.

Got my set from Huang in medium, fit really big on me too - decided to shrink it down a bit in my dryer...soon as i did that the water resistent shit must have washed out. You're looks really good.

I gamed it yesterday in that pouring downfall with the ice pellets - theres no way I could pour water on mine like you did.

The_Silencer has another TMC set for me at his place I have to pick up that he ordered from ebairsoft - wonder if its any better - hopefully the fit as well so i dont have to wash it.

Huang's AllWin XL fits fairly similar to Propper Large Regular sizing, if that helps.

Will probably throw it in hot water/dryer to try and shrink it lol.

However for now, I will keep pouring water all over the jacket and my floor

Just received my TMC PCU Lvl 5 Set.

The fit is actually pretty good on this set - a lot better than the Allwin, its also a thicker material and more aesthetically pleasing.

As soon as I got it and ripped the package open in excitement I decided to do the Najohn test - holy shit. What a mistake and a mess to clean up.

There is no water resistance on this set what so ever. Not even light flicks of water - just soaks right through.

The material also has some sort of shine to it - the suit makes me feel like an 80s breakdancer or Eddie Murphy in Raw.

Im sure the shine will come out with a wash, however the only good thing about this set is the fit and the way it looks.

The Allwin is easily better and already tested by myself in wet conditions - even after several washes of my Allwin set the water resistance it has left is still better than the TMC.

That is a bummer to hear, I was able to successfully shrink my PCU

and it still has the same resistance it had prior to putting it into the washer/dryer, which means I won't have to purchase a Propper APCU Set
