Am I the only person that is happy about the new PT uniform?

I didn't read all of the comments but we voted for this uniform. It's been a couple years but I don't remember many color choices. And most unit shirts I have bought or seen are black anyways. I know most units in Hawaii wear theirs 5 days a week and they can't keep this on the shelves at clothing and sales.

I can rock this new uniform.

I don't mind the new PT uniform although I do find it's a little colder wearer it this winter versus the old one, the wind seems to go through the material a little easier making it chilly. I was hoping to have reflective material on the New PTs would make wearing a PT belt unnecessary but it seems we will continue to go the safe route and wear a reflective belt as well.

Wore the Banana Suit and every suit all the way to 2002
Hated the PT Belts, but understood the need for them in Germany where the local populace always seemed to drive right through the intersections as we ran through them ourselves.

At Oh Dark Thirty... it was a pair of bright flashlights with the PT cones that did the trick and all of the Company/ Battalion Road Guards carried them. Our Battalion runs were done with as many as twelve of us running rings around the unit as it did the 5-8 mile run.

I understand the black and gold is "tradition", but was it really logical? I see yet more death by power point classes regarding safety, and heat strokes in the near future.

I personally liked teh old sweats best atleast the shirts. I miss my BDU's and black boots and I'm not a fan of the ASU's either. I liked having unit patches. Atleast then you could tell who was from where.

I look forward to new revisions of the new black and gold full winter unifom to make them warmer. Overall, the black and gold is a nice change.

When I was in basic, AIT, and my first two permanent duty stations, we wore our green work fatigues for PT. After that, the Army kept changing PT uniforms just often enough to recoup a healthy portion of our clothing allowance. I still don't understand why you have to wear something different than fatigues, BDU's or whatever they call them now just to perform PT. I can see why we changed from running long distances in boots, but not the rest of the uniform.

The new LOOK is great, but the quality/fit of the new uniforms leaves quite a bit to be desired. I'm also not particularly excited that they found a way to include more velcro. The fit of the shorts in particular is awful, unless you get the Soffe version.

SGT(P) Karen Lonn, I think it's a vast improvement.
