Hi guys, Sorry if this has been posted, ive been searching and reading but yet to come across the right info so far....still looking i was looking at a carrier, saw something i liked the look of on amazon similar to this but another seller (may be ebay now, been a long week!) but hesitant and wanted some advice from the regulars? http://www.amazon.co.uk/AQURE-Tactical-Military-Assault-Carrier/dp/B00UJ5EQYW/ref=sr_1_1?&s=sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1437140828&sr=1-1&keywords=plate+carrier now ive read its better to spend a bit more as the quality can be better, but also some places seem to have risen the price for the sake of it so not always getting good value, but with 2 children, i have to try and balance it out tbh Anyone recommend any suppliers to buy or brand names to look at or avoid? where they have had good service, something for 6'1, eeeer large but not fat guy, kinda want it to come down to belt line if possible as these seem to be more chest type? Its more the size issue really, i'd like to find a shop i can physically try one on, i guess next game may be possible if i ask someone as i dont want to keep sending it back and forth! any way sorry!!, back to searching the web in the mean time!

cheers SD, have been re-reading up on it, asking questions, little confused at one point and then had it explained at the end which was good!.. Shouldn't be a problem really, my bro liked UA so i can see it being a regular thing, but also fancy RIFT in Cottenham as i can cycle there so suits family commitments if needed...hopefully! .... 1st things first i guess, i'll get UKARA first

well brothers stag do went well on sat, i got my first game signed off so trying to book in a 2nd, although family commitments this may only be a half day here and there (can i do that anywhere or does it need to be the same place for 3 games for UKARA?) Brother and a few of his mates enjoyed it (told them they would) so are looking to come back....well done Urban assault!

Hi guys, So after a few posts elsewhere I thought I best pop in here and explain myself! I first looked at Airsoft back in 1999/2000 but I never got around to actually doing anything about it, I joined various mailing lists and still to this day, read the FFZ one… Does Airsoft Armouries still exist (not google yet!) Time passed ,the laws changed, girlfriend became fiancée, fiancée became wife and 2 lovely children arrived, i got fatter and as many know your priorities in life change. My brother has a stag do coming up, luckily they chose airsoft, at one fairly local, Urban Assault….so it got me back into the idea of trying again as I’ll actually be able to go J Out came the old clothing and bits I had collected a long time ago from the parents loft where it has been for a few odd years…so fairly dated!, may not use as it seems you can wear what you like, although old clothes in case of snagging, I have variations so im prepared!….didn’t realise I had two old US carry all vests and a kevlar helmet! Haha…..suppose I can get rid of them somewhere! So hopefully this will be one of many posts and I’ll see a few of you at various sites throughout the year….nearest to me is the RIFT woodland/training site but I live near Cambridge so I’ll look for a few more…..Fenland Airsoft….one near Cavenham? Ok better go, work to do!

just ordered some alternatives ,then i'll send others back....probably spending a bit much before first game but i have a feeling it WONT be my last and i'd like to be comfortable while shooing my brother on his stag do!... Looked at all this in the days you could buy what you wanted easily ,no questions asked!!....oh how times have changed!

very similar to what i just got from Patrol base (just been delivered!). http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/airsoft-glasses-and-goggles/we-europe-nuprol-shades-mesh-glasses-eye-protection-black.htm#.VZ0gG_lVhBd http://www.patrolbase.co.uk/half-face-airsoft-protection/8-fields-mesh-lower-face-ear-protection-tan.htm#.VZ0hTvlVhBc Although due to first game, basics provided anyway, i thought id still get some incase im not comfortable with a full face mask. having tried them on in the toilet at work ....did find the googles a little smaller than expected with mask on (so may need to get the others ones?...will try at home later, i guess safety first and comfort follows...
