Hands down the fishing vest!
Or the shower bag:
Was supposed to be a raincoat I guess but it did a better job keeping me wet

I'm trying to have a positive thread here lol
It's also a social experiment to see how many posts it takes to devolve into another Army Reserve whines and complaints thread.

My 1982 pattern webbing. I could survive with it and the contents in a temperate climate for 24 hours minimum.
The issue Gerber is a favourite as well.

I was at a brief about the new stuff we got and the presenter said that the 82 pattern webbing was trialed in the competition and it beat all of the competitors.
I have a hunting rig that's basically the same thing.

Best of all, it's next to skin, so you retain it on release.

I give it a dozen.
...like a current competition? It would be hilariously ironic if 82 pattern was re-issued.
My choices for this include:
Yukon Hat
Wool tuque
DEU winter boots (the ones with the side zippers)
This reminds me - I need to spend some points...

I have the complete set of the 51 pattern webbing that I was first issued. Much more robust than the 82 pattern, but ditto OS.

We wore ours (with the flaps down) when I went through TQ3 in Borden back when the earth was cooling . . . freezing actually.
The oddest piece of issue kit I ever got was the swim trunks during BOTC at Chilliwack in the mid-1980s. I always thought they'd had been procured by a Quebecois; they were lime green budgie smugglers. And we didn't have the option of wearing anything else when we went to the pool.
