Delivery from UR-Tac.
These are the Fast Response which is their more basic model with (included) internal formed foam knee pads. The ATACS-FG version in particular features 500D cordura reinforcement on the knees (which is a big plus) and seat.
3D Battles; which are a slightly heavier and cheaper but more robust interpretation of Crye Gen 2s without any of the stretch materials. A very good compromise between Crye G2/3 and the Fast Response or a more conventional BDU/ACU. The OPS pads that come included are more like the Crye Gen1 pads and I tend to swap them out for Crye Airflex, but they are quite serviceable.
Also nabbed a hat to go in with the order while I was making one.
CBeebies pup?
Actually, it has got great features, but it's too small for G36 mags.
Oops, what a cock! Wrong pouch This bugger still hasn't arrived, I was thinking of the OD drop leg dump pouch I bought too.
