First one is of the FAMAS harness system, basically the FAMAS battlebelt. Very lightweight. I have the original tri-famas magazine pouches though none of the photos show it.
The other two photos show me wearing the French tac vest. Its OK, not a huge amount of molle space because of the giant zip system on the front, but the back has two large bags to carry extra stuff. I wear a CCE dump pouch around my are. I use a Nuprol retention holster for the TM M9 US (The closest to the PAMAS that is not the fixed hop TM M9F)
The shirt is a standard F2 shirt, the buttons like breaking a lot, I have just bought a fleece jumper that mimics French CCE until I replace the buttons.
The Hat is just a standard CCE booney hat, the foreign legion wore them often.
The trousers are German made French CCE reproductions. I picked these as they are full length. The French surplus stuff cuts off where the boot starts.
The Boots are not anything to do with the French. I have arthritis in my toes and the French boots do not have wide sizes that I require.
Good luck with the desert stuff. Its difficult to find.
Wow, thank you so much for this!
You certainly look the part.
I've been looking at the pre-Felin spec body armour system - I'll post up some photos when I manage to source a set.
Thanks again!
