My nice new Skirmish patch...
...next to the place where I slashed an inch of the shirt with a seam ripper when I altered the angle of the velcro, doh!
We've been asking for these patches ever since I've been airsofting, which is since a month after Skirmish Airsoft Mansfield opened - 18 months-ish. Finally! I like the choice of subdued colour - it isn't MTP or DPM but looks fine on either 
Next we have someone on here's great idea for keeping kneepads from slipping: "knee-loops"
...which work a treat. I only bothered with one loop on each leg, on the outside for the lower pad strap. I reasoned that holding the strap in place on the inside also/instead might make it dig in or become irritating. You cant see it on this photo but the loops have a backing made from folded bias binding for added strength. TBF I'm not sure they really need extra strength for their purpose, but it may well help if one gets caught on some undergrowth or random detritus.
I highly recommend this trouser upgrade. Lets have it right, integral knee pads must move with the trouser leg so, unless the cut style is very tight legged, the pads can move to the sides and become less/non- usefull. Also integral knee pads are thinner, so can't offer as much shock protection during those commando rolls gone wrong and generalised dives which make airsofting so much of a laugh
:lol: but hitching up even decent but slipping knee pads all day is a pain up the arse which nobody needs. Even my Hatch Centurion pads slip a little. I don't much like tight cut kecks anyway, but definitely not to wear skirmishing - it's a problem alright!
Tadaa! No longer! Muahahahaa!

Personally I'd go with the first one, helmet and full seal goggles like that is asking to sweat to death and then fog up a lot!

I have about 5 of those, they came with my Sawflys. Not used any of them yet though, I don't get fogging that often with ballistic glasses, or "spectacles" as it says in the manual haha.

The lower part, back plate and strap is the army surplus PLCE pouch, the cover on top is a bit I made to prevent the sun glinting off the hexi cooker. I don't know what it was issued for and, so far, nobody has told me they do either, but the consensus seems to be either for a battery or a radiation detector.

It's not the best photo but this is the most recent snap of my cqb loadout (adapted for woodland). I'm on the right and my buddy's on the left with another scar & his hi-capa.

Okay I said it wasn't the best photo but how the f*** did it flip upside down?!
