After nearly a year in the works, the high-performance version of the Navy physical training uniform will hit some exchanges Nov. 27 — Black Friday, to shoppers.

The Navy also announced that, in addition to the higher quality “gender neutral” physical training gear, a “female-specific” version will go on sale. The clothing, made by New Balance, is designed to be more breathable.

The shirt and shorts will be $24.99 each — making a complete outfit just under $50. The 2010 price for the regular uniform is $13.50 for a shirt and $18.50 for a pair of shorts. Sailors must have two sets of shirts and shorts.

The high-performance clothes are considered optional uniform items. If purchased, they replace a sailor’s standard-issue gear.

Officials said the high-performance uniform would be available Nov. 27 in exchanges in:

• Norfolk, Oceana and Little Creek, Va.

• San Diego, Coronado and Port Hueneme, Calif.

• Bethesda, Md.
