Supporters TheFull9 Posted July 27, 2012 Supporters Share Posted July 27, 2012 We talking uniforms or LBE? I don't really change much other than gloves and boots depending on the season, certainly not my rig/belt setup. If you've not got any sort of combat shirt/UBACS that would be my first suggestion, then some nice thin/lightweight trousers to with it. Just switching your shirt from the old t-shirt/lightweight jacket combo over to a UBACS makes a massive difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iAcorn Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 So far if it is super hot I just take the sleeves off of my shirt as they just zip right off. Its a very breathable shirt too since the torso area is made from a lighter material. I dont have a lot of gear so my only other option is to use some mesh goggles instead of my full face mask. Although some goggles with mesh lower protection would be a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted July 27, 2012 Supporters Share Posted July 27, 2012 There's a few different types of eye pro that are suitable, but the goggles/glasses combo with a mesh lower face mask is probably the most common setup I see at games which is both highly effective in terms of safety and perfect for ventilation.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted July 27, 2012 Supporters Share Posted July 27, 2012 Best bet is likely going to be eBay. The brit issue ones are pretty good quality and shouldn't cost much at all, especially in the old desert DPM; though you'll find MTP on there as well for a few quid more I've no doubt. Certainly a better option than viper/web-tex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly a better option than viper/web-tex. I got a DDPM UBACS from the local market for a tenner (Grade 1 surplus) Online it was about the same but + £5 for postage and new ones (no difference at all) were £20. Don't buy Viper ones, they're £30! Would've been better if they sold -Woodland- DPM on that stall, but better than paying 50% more or double in my opinion.
