i don't think there are many locations in the uk where that would be an effective set of colours
You should have seen the old duvet cover I was gonna use for this test run and I won’t mention the off cuts of this one is white and you know what that would look like

Did you supply the costumes for ‘A Knight’s tale ? I’m sure that’s the material sir Ulric wore to the ball ! ??

@Druid799 Nah M80, it’s just from the pile of old duvets that the wife got from her mum as I was asking after material for prototyping before I use the expense stuff - if you check my bandoleer images you will see the Hawaiian duvet I used to get the “kinks” out but the reverse/other side of the jack pattern is plain white and it would’ve looked full 3-K’s

Spot of modification to an issued smoke grenade pouch and a side pouch liner.
I present to you a small utility pouch...

made mag pouch inserts for the ARP9, TM GBB MP7, ACP9K and Vector. I'll probably do the MP5 and Scorpion next.

Looks good. I quess you haven't trialed it yet.
Are the goggles part of mask or separate?
I would be interested to hear how it performs and maybe commission you to make one for me. ?

@ShamalThe Goggles have had some heavy tweakage to fit around my glasses but my glasses still did the fog thing so I attached a couple of 25mm brushless fans in the corner it’s wired up to a small battery box which I used to tape to the strap but now will Velcro since I have got some for another project and a rechargeable 9v battery from my bass, and when my glasses started to fog at any point I would flick the switch it worked a treat a very very low fan sound - so faint someone stood next to me thought they had a gas leak
This was before lock down since I have added the mesh, the goggles came with 3 colour of lens but since these are for indoor I went with the clear.
The mesh mask is just a cheap one I got off Amazon with some heavy application of gooooo and it seems sturdy enough - I’ll give it a whirl if the Z-Mart meet up happens in July.
Probably cost me £40 in total, but as I had some of the materials anyways it would be closer to £50 from scratch version 2 will be just the cost of goggles.

Let me know how the field tests go and take it from there?
I do suffer in cqb with fogging.
How are the fans switched?

Nice job. Fans are the only real solution to fogging, I can sweat up anything less, even dual pane with Revision wipes.
Is the mesh hot-melt glued on top of the goggles?

@Rogerborg No matey, this attempt was with lots of Shoe Goo & being clamped up for a couple of days to cure and seems solid enough admittedly I’m not planning on trying to rip them apart for now but I have some Gorilla two part epoxy resin and some JB Weld steel stick ready but I was using the cheapest/already opened first.
