Virtus kit

[ButcherBill]

I promise I did look for this info...

 

So as a wee bit of a collector I've been looking around at the Virtus STV etc that is actual issued equipment to the British Army, is there a detailed PDF/booklet with accessories officially issued?

My google investigations have picked up bits n pieces to look at but TBH a lot of it seems like aftermarket pouches/ cumberbunds etc. I'm hoping there is something like the Osprey mk IV booklet

Osprey Mk 4 Body Armour - PDF Free Download (1).pdf

dont know about a pdf, but there are booklets.

i picked one up on ebay earlier this year, and a little bit of google-fu turns up this listing, if you really want a physical copy of your own..

I don't know a ton about the current stuff, but if you eBay search (for example) osprey pouch you'll quickly be able to collate the whole set that was issued. I've done the same for 'virtus pouch' before and it seems like most if not all come up and of course there's multiple pictures and angles spread across the listings. Submit the word belt or bag etc in place of pouch and you can find probably 95%+ of everything.

Thanks for this, I'm tight so will wait for a 'bootleg' version.

Thanks, I've done that, usually brings up accessories that are obviously aftermarket.
