    I can vouch for the shirt from Ratio. I have that exact model, and it’s such a great shirt. And the price is great for custom-made.

    @Danny. I was going to ask about the shirts from Ratio. I’d never heard of them before and am glad to know people are happy. I’ll have to try them out soon.

    Yeah, Ratio’s shirting is top notch. Great fabric, great fit, and absolutely top-notch customer service. I’m placing my next order soon.

    awesome stuff, love the ruck sack from BDUS. they require at least a $25 minimum purchase, any other suggestions for a well priced add on?

    @ Ryan 2

    I’m sure if you call BDUS they’ll let you get away with being $1 short.

    Otherwise, check eBay:
