If the problem is that the army can't define what it wants, why can't the army purchase several models of different types of vests (including those I read awhile back were approved for afghanistan), give them to a buch of Infantry, Engineer, and Armoured types, and conduct a survey as to which...

Trying to make a game out of identifying badges?

Yes, I was wrong here. I could have presented my opinion in a better manner. My apologies to CANADIAN F0RCES, and I hope it is as much of a learning experiance for him as it [still] is for me.

This probably would have been answered if you took the time to do a search. To entertain your question: "Webbing" generally refers to the old 82 pattern webgear (consisting of a yolk, waistbelt, various pouches and straps to make a web-like contraption). It is not general issue anywhere in...

Double check the straps and suspension to make sure you don't have it riding too far back or too tight. If all else fails, get a size up. Ultimately it's about what you're comfortable with... Within reason, during my BMQ about half of us looked like we were wearing green stormtrooper helmets...

Any word from users of this pouch regarding how well the buckles are holding up?

I have no problem with the collar during vehicle operation, my vice with it as far as interfering with performance while training, specifically on ranges. Before I was issued the thing on m basic training and DP1, my accurracy with the C-7 and C-9 were much higher when I didn't have the thing...

Good to see. Just hope the guys in charge don't balk at the slight thermal and comfort deficiencies, which can be addressed. Any word on research into a different collar setup for the vest? I personally find the current split design to be inefficient for the following reasons: - Not enough...

It matters while I am using the pouch for training in country and down in California. I think I'm going to continue to research the two pouchs Phill suggested. Still haven't fired off that email yet, should get too it. At present I'm favoring the ICE Detachable Med Pouch, as it appears to only...

I don't think that would make a good TCCC pouch, atleast not for me, for two reasons: First is the amount fo kit it holds. If thats all the kit that can be fit into it (based on the loadout in the video), I just don't see it being enough for mass-casualty situations or my own personel use...

Seen and Seen, though neither have pics of the interior layout, so I'll give em a call tommorow. Thanks so much!

1. Based on what I went through in Suffield, and from the guys coming back, the ruck stays at the FOB, while the assualt pack goes with me in the vehicle. I never had either on me while dismounted. It's more just a stash of supplies within reach should the shit really hit the fan. 2. Velcro...

Thanks for the link Loachman!

Any idea where one could find these? I have Full Spectrum Gear nearby, but they aren't a surplus store.

I love it, but im always getting rashes and bad abrasions from it, so I end up wearing my thermals underneath it to avoid this, but it gets fucking hot in the summer and on the march. Is there any way to avoid this, or a thinner liner I can get?

On my TCCC course right now, and doing very well. If I pass I'm probably going to be a TCCC for my tour in 2010, and as part of my kit study I now have to add TCCC pouch to the kit list. Being in the recce squandron, most our casualties come in 4s (vehicle crew size); so, I want to have enough...

Farmboy, you get my PM regarding CPGear products?

I'll vouch for that. Issued sleeping bags are the cats ass if taken care of properly. Big fan of the smallpack, though I wish it came with Molle webbing vs. Daisy Chain. And as a Coyote Gib/Driver, I actually don't mind the boots, though some days I wish I had a set of steel toes for working...

Is this some kind of joke? I cautiously like the concept, but this thing looks like it was cheaply researched and put together, in addition to being downright painfull to use.

NJ transit give's you 50% off if you show ID, doesn't matter what country your from. Chances are if your travelling down there you aren't going to care about the 50 cent to 5 dollar difference in fares, but remember that it IS American dollars and cents I'm talking about, not Canadian.
