Supporters TheFull9 Posted June 23, 2012 Supporters Share Posted June 23, 2012 Right then, been away from the gear for a while, so here's the actual gear segregated from the great big stack pictured in the 'Just bought' thread. Stripped out all the guns, mags, optics and knives and here's what's left. Couple of accessories in there, but hopefully you guys can let those slide just this once. Arc'Teryx Talos Half Shell/Combat shirt Crye Gen 3 Combat trousers Propper ATACS-FG TAC-U/Combat shirt Tac Research Khyber Combat boots FirstSpear SAPI Cut Strandhögg Plate Carrier Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Applications Sling (padded version w/ polymer hardware) Salomon EXIT 2 AEROs Source 2L WXP Hydro RS Rail Vertical Grip 2 x Under Armour Heatgear T-Shirts Patrol Incident Gear 2L Hydro pouch BFG Helium Whisper Medium Vertical Utility Arc'Teryx B.A.C. ATS Warbelt Insert Tac Tailor Fight Light Battle Belt Tac Tailor FL 4-Point Battle Belt Harness Pantac 15m Paracord bundle RS XTM Panels 2 x Under Armour Heatgear Blackout gloves Magpul MS3 2 x HSGI Pistol Mag pouches 2 x BFG HW Smoke Grenade pouches Tac Tailor FL Roll-Up Dump pouch BFG HW Double Pistol Mag pouch SKD Tac version HSGI Universal Drop Holster Platform Pantac cordura wallet Camelbak Vent gloves Inforce WML Streamlight TLR-1 BFG HW Triple M4 Pouch Bridgedale Coolmax + Bamboo viscose Crew socks Not pictured - 5.11 Neoprene knee pads and FirstSpear/American Apparel T-Shirt. Any questions/queries/'wtf are you doing you mentalist' comments anybody has please do fire away. Getting military discount with FirstSpear and finding the Crye G3s brand new for less than half the retail price helped quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters M_P Posted June 23, 2012 Supporters Share Posted June 23, 2012 F**K ME That's a lot of multicam II'm half-way through your strandhogg video right now, looks like a brilliant piece of kit, and I hope more developments in the tube and 6/12 systems come out in the future. It does look like a great advancement on previous pieces of kit. Great video as always too God i'd love to sift through all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're interested in the 6/12 stuff I'd recommend checking out the FS website to see their new low-pro chest rig and watching out for it at retailers. Not sure if it'll ever make it across to the UK, but it's about $70 which is an awful lot more reasonable to most than the Strandhogg at $400, heh. Lol that is a lot of MC but i must say my kit is all MC apart from my PC which is Coyote. Yeah fair one, that picture does make it look like an awful lot when you lay it out flat like that. I've actually got more kit that's not MC at this point though, it's just older and far less gucci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted June 24, 2012 Supporters Share Posted June 24, 2012 Uploaded with ImageShack.us Here's me in my cold wet weather kit: MK6 Helmet & Cover OD Skrim MK IV NBC jacket Web-Tex DPM Vest (the rarer type with multi-tool and torch pouches) 95 Pattern JACKET DPM COMBAT LIGHTWEIGHT worn as a shirt Remploy TROUSERS MAN'S WATERPROOF Moisture Vapour Permeable 95 Pattern TROUSERS DPM COMBAT LIGHTWEIGHT Viper Security Belt Black US style DPM Water Bottle Pouch, plastic water bottle & aluminium cup. Custom Bum-Rig (Wilkinsons' gardeners kneeling pad, Web-Tex elastic, permanent markers camo) KH Mountain Elbow & Knee Pads German Para Boots Generic Hiking Socks M&S pants & thin socks (the foundation of outdoor gear - comfy shreddies!) Sadly I'm carrying an M4 in this shot, but in my defence, I was doing so to see how I liked the feel of them before I knew any better (and it is an ICS). Since then I've added Pyrohide gloves and a Web-Tex 3L Hydration pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporters TheFull9 Posted July 4, 2012 Supporters Share Posted July 4, 2012 I was going to say "whoa dude, airsoft girl" looking at that second photo, but experience has taught me it's never a girl. It's always a 17/18 year old lad who's in that stage of life where he thinks long hair is dead cool wearing a hat and full face pro. Anyway, it's a nice loadout nick, well put together. I couldn't run a shotgun sling like that myself but if you find it comfortable enough to use then more power to you, at a site like the outpost I've no doubt at all it'd come in very very useful indeed. Next thing on the shopping list has gotta be a UBACS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next thing on the shopping list has gotta be a UBACS? No that is actually a girl! I know its amazing! Anyway, the nice thing about the tri shots is they're quite light to only issue can be when crouching down as the muzzle can go into the dirt. And yea an A-TACS UBACS is defo on the list but at £60 it may be a while and before I need to get some A-TACS FG BDUs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yea an A-TACS UBACS is defo on the list but at £60 it may be a while and before I need to get some A-TACS FG BDUs I was thinking the same; standing or prone you're alright, but crouching, sitting or squatting would be rather awkward. At those sorts of CQB sites must people just stand all the time anyway though so I can see why you made the choice you did. If you're considering the Propper TAC-U... well I don't recommend it myself I'll say that. I'll be using mine in the winter and I reckon it'll work very nicely, but the design is not comfortable in the summer one bit. I'll look in to picking up an OPS/UR-Tac shirt to compare since they do both types of ATACS at similar prices. Long hair is cool. In the 1980s. I'm not fussed either way in all honesty, fashion choices are the same as airsoft choices; do what you like, it's your life. I just knew an awful lot of guys when I was around that age who grew their hair and every single one has since decided it was a bad idea (including my own brother); the trend just makes me chuckle slightly on occasion is all.

Supporters Ian_Gere Posted July 4, 2012 Supporters Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'm 44. For pretty much all my life I've oscillated back and forth from skin-head to letting it grow out long and it grows fast. For now, while I've got no bald spots or noticeable grey, I'm giving it a last chance to blow in the wind etc. kerby91 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For pretty much all my life I've oscillated back and forth from skin-head to letting it grow out long and it grows fast. For now, while I've got no bald spots or noticeable grey, I'm giving it a last chance to blow in the wind etc. Perfectly reasonable plan of action. In fairness, if I was allowed (which I'm not unfortunately) then I'd probably give it a go, but I don't think I could hack it for very long. Sorry don't quite follow, are you saying the Propper A-TACS is not very good? I was planning on getting the Propper BDU A-TACS FG kit. No the Propper stuff is fine, it's built very tough, just a bit too tough I think. They use a heavy weight of poly/cotton mix material which is great for the cooler months and resilient to general wear & tear, but compared to issued DPM/MTP and most other high-end gear it's really hot in the summer. I'd hoped they'd use a thinner fabric for their combat shirt (which is called the 'TAC-U' http://www.uktactical.com/acatalog/A-TACS-...t_Shirt_FG.html ) which is why I bought one, but that's not the case. My own fault because I could've just actually read the product description but you live and learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will hopefully get one of those when budget allows, will stick to the BDUs as they're only £35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
