Russian BEKAS BDU

[Skool]

From the depths of my wardrobe and after many years of not being worn I thought it best to try on my old Russian kit.

 

 

I thought they might be a little large but they are hanging off me as they are a -

 

Chest size: 44"-46"/112-116cm

Waist 35"-36" / 91cm

 

I'm now a 43-44 chest and a 32" waist.

 

I'm wanting to get back into airsoft and to follow a Russian loadout however I've already overspent and the price for new kit is pretty costly.

 

Does anyone know of a cheap source of Russian kit? Especially the new digi flora kit. I've seen some cheap trousers but not the top.

 

Do you think it would be worth seeing if anyone would swap or buy my jacket and trousers? Both have been well cared for. If I did sell how much would be a fair price?

 

Thanks

Try reposting on the gear wanted thread as well. sorry can't be much more help...

 

Nice to see you've lost weight over the years is normally the other way round haha.

I was looking for Russian camo recently for our Russian milsim game but quickly came to the conclusion that its vastly overpriced for some reason.

 

Objecting to paying over £100 for a jacket or having to import from Russia, I didn't take it further. Spetnaz wear lots of different camo.

 

If you find a reasonably priced source, Im all ears.

 

ETA I did find this one UK store which wasn't too bad but the choice was limited

Based in Poland and tend to get stuff to you in four days - much better than some retailers in the UK

Also look at profarmy.ru - it's all in Russian so you'll need to be a googletrans-ninja and their order form is a bit confusing.

 

Index means Post Code. Where there is a box for postage options just put 'Post to UK'. When you click order, that is just to confirm that you want the stuff. They will send you an invoice with an order number. Reply to it asking for an invoice including shipping to the UK. Don't panic if it takes them a few days to get back to you. Payment is via PayPal in USD and shipping for 1 set of pants and jacket is about £30 - I just payed $83 posted for a Partizan style (SS Leto / Autumn / Oak) uniform. Can't say fairer than that, eh?
