TRUE STORY

perfect

Wanted a new long sleeve O top and tried the usual online stores, Best4O, Compass Point and Trimtex. The only store with stock was Trimtex and although the garment was priced ok, shipping was ridiculous, 40 euros to the UK. Then came across True Story! The garment took 10 days to arrive but was exactly what I wanted and shipping was 12 euros.
Very pleased and now I know where to get my orienteering clothes from.

If my wife would not complain about the fact that it is impossible to wash them after few seasons I would not change them, very durable and long lasting product!

Great fit 👍

The tights are like second skin. Very comfortable

Wore it in a mountain race recently. Amazing feel. Ventilates and wicks away sweat very well. It kept me very comfortable.

Feels like my second skin

I expected it to be warmer

I was in the market for a durable, yet breathable race shirt for orienteering and adventure racing. In searching for a shirt, I happened upon True Story via a web browser search. After reading some of the details about the pro race shirt, it almost sounded too good to be true. On paper it checked all my boxes. I figured I’d roll the dice and order one. Knowing that European sizing typically runs a little small, I opted for size XL. The sizing turned out to be perfect. The shirt itself is great. There are 3 different style panels that make up this shirt. The back is mesh and the most breathable of the 3. Then there is the arm and shoulder panels which are also mesh but seem to be a stronger material than the back. Lastly is the front panel which is not mesh but provides good protection running through the woods. The shirt itself is very stylish. I purchased the red and black which was on my list of must haves. I really like the the dark panels under arms and down the sides. I feel it will show better over time and not look discolored. I put the shirt through a good test and it performed great. Overall, I’m super pleased with this shirt. It ticked all the boxes and then some. I’ll likely but other products from True Story in the future.

The shirt is pleasant to the touch, light, does not absorb odors and looks good. Ideally.

True story suggested a size L for me based on my actual height/weight (195cm/89kg). The pants are much more snug fit than some others, and originally I thought they would restrict movement in orienteering. However, having had them on 2 times it seems that flexible material in the back works very well and these became my top choice for orienteering competitions in most conditions.
Will use them today in province night orienteering championships too as weather is going to be warm (+12C to 15C expected).

True story suggested a size L + 5cm based on my actual height/weight (195cm/89kg). This is a perfect fit for activities that require harder leg swinging like orienteering competition, interval training, etc. Some other tights that don't fit as well may restrict movement or start dropping from waist when wider movement is made, but these stay on place very well for me.

True story suggested a size L + 5cm for me based on my actual height/weight (195cm/89kg). This is a perfect snug fit for me and longer sleeves allow for much better movement than with some other jackets (sleeves tend to stick and restrict movement if they're too short).
I haven't yet tested this in foul weather (heavy rain, sleet, etc), but the material looks like it will not get dripping wet.

Nice fit, comfortable to wear
