I am thinking about having a completely black loadout instead of camo. I think it potentially looks cooler but not sure where to get the black 'swat' gear (i guess you could say).

 
ebay?

Amazon?

Military1st is a good one for black gear. They have a wide choice of gear on there.

Note: Black should only be worn in CQB, wearing in woodland will make you be seen a lot easier and you will be shot at more often.

I think black is hard to pull off and look right.

Will either look fantastic or make you look like a noob!

 
Once you go black...........................you'll also want OD and Tan! :lol: :lol: :lol:

 
Have a mix of both! I used to wear my fully black Karrimor SS jacket and a camo tactical vest on top, exposing the black shoulders, sleeves and collar of the jacket with camo on the body and topped it off with a camo bush hat and black face mask. I also wore black highlander tactical gloves and wore black Lonsdale track suit trousers with grey go-faster stripes.

I thought I looked awesome.

Black only works if you're hiding in a shadowy cellar at midnight. It's slightly more obvious in CQB, especially when people are using tac-lights etc. Black just drinks the light, it's much more obvious than a combination of greys and dark greens in combat uniforms.

 
Yeah, it's only good for camo at night, but even I can't believe how evil I look in my black kit :lol:

...or or torchless night woodland?

also if the cqb have any outdoor/non low light situations, black stands out like a sore thumb. imo - not taking that discussion here and now.

oh and I 2nd ebay.

 
Personally I think that Black gear looks pretty awesome, and where I play it works perfectly.

Also, other people may think it looks noobish, but then are you buying your gear to please them, or yourself?
