Grey loadout?

Doesnt make a difference how much I pay or how tough something is supposed to be I still wreck it. I always buy the best for most things but not airsoft anymore, it makes no difference I will kill it.

Must be doing something wrong.

What is it you do in airsoft that's so much more hardcore and damaging to your kit than the stuff actual soldiers and SF types do?

Wouldnt use the word hardcore more clumsy.

I will snag it and tear it or find that one sharp piece that slices it.

I am seriously usless with clothes its like a curse.

I've been buying up TAD Gear now for about a year. I do skirmish in some of it (because it is damn tough and very warm) and I use it for trail walking, etc.

 

Yes, it is expensive. But you can genuinely see in the quality and the features what you are paying for. The stitching is tight and reinforced, the traditional weak points are reinforced, the pockets are numerous and well located and the colours work well for both skirmishing and casual wear. Win win.

 

The Praetorian merino hoodie is one of the warmest, most comfortable items of clothing you could imagine. The Ranger hoodie negates the need of a coat or jacket on an average UK Autumn night or winter's day in my experience so far.

 

The Recon trousers are beading off rain after several low temperature washes and the Force 10 cargo pants feel and look brand new after almost a year of wearing them.

 

Buy what you can afford, but if you can stretch a bit more for a top brand like TAD Gear or Arc'teryx, then I would say 'go for it'.

 

In comparison, my Patagonia L5 softshell jacket is bobbling quite a bit after only a few outings and the Helikon Multicam trousers I bought the other day for spares feel like tissue paper when compared to the OPS shirt they'll be paired with. Buy cheap, buy twice indeed.
