- or CTS according to me...

[BillP]

For field wear, modify the current combats, by incorporating some features from the Crye uniform! For garrison wear, just keep the existing combats as is! Since the CF buys cadpat by the mile to say the least, I say just keep it cadpat, but incorporate" trade specific "mods onto the uniform!
For LBV's/load carriage a PALS modular system is the simplest, and most cost effective solution! A basic carrier, with trade specific pouches issued as needed! Also modify the current frag vest, by adding pals webbing onto it, thus increasing the choices of load carriage; not the best but at least it's another choice!
Footwear. One design, done in 2 colours; a leather/cordura construction(Danner Acadia), non-gore-TeX boot in OD, and Tan, for operations in either temperate, or arid areas!
Get rid of that pos goretex field jacket, and replace it with a smock, stealth suit, fleece, sleeka-esque system instead! A more lighter, less bulkierand flexible clothing system is what's needed.
Anything else has already been covered, just my $0.02 ;D

Brit I don't think you are correct.

With regards to the CF's I was my understanding that they polled the CF community as to which they liked more and green was the favorite.  I personally liked the green over the brown myself and there was a rumour that they were going to start making lighter CF's in green.

You're not high speed enough either.  ;D

In <a href=http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/23363/post-142336.html#msg142336>this thread,</a> I asked:

Last time I checked, 3VP  recce plt troops are issued stealth suits(maybe devil39 can confirm?),

To which devil39 replied:

They were issued there 7 years ago when I was in Recce 3 VP, I'm certain they still are now.

Followed by the inevitable diatribe about the "old army" and marching uphill both ways through a snowstorm wearing the old raingear with his C1 between his teeth......





Welcome to the boards,Mike_R23A, CFL. Many of your questions have already been answered in previous threads. Have you tried doing a search? It's on the upper left corner......

 

[COBRA-6]

Stealth suits being issued to recce platoons is a far cry from being a standard issue item... recce aren't the only ones who work in the rain 

It's not like they're a technically complex or expensive item, though I'm sure if CTS got involved they soon would be...

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

Well they aren't issued out to our recce platoon and I'm not about to search something I know not to be true.   The temperate hat is issued, the stealth suits are/were something that may only be 3VP recce specific.   Please don't bother with semantics either.   If someone from 3VP recce were to be posted to 2VP recce he wouldn't be wearing them.

Not "there" yet but this stuff is Canadian designed: http://www.militarymorons.com/gear/clothes.3.html

Made with fabric that is windproof, breathable, waterproof, insulating, wicking...seems pretty much perfect to me.

If someone from 3VP recce were to be posted to 2VP recce he wouldn't be wearing them.

Why's that?  ???

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

Because its not a general issue only specific to 3VP recce (not any other recce element per se).

But that doesn't prevent any individual soldier, recce or not, in the 2nd battalion from wearing it.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

True you could wear them as long as they weren't visible.   Had they been an issued item you could wear them visibly.   Now you suggest that 3VP had them issued and therefore would imply that they could wear them as an outer which is not the case in other units as they aren't officially issued like a temperate glove, hat etc.

 

[Britney Spears]

Fair enough, although I  counter that no one would wear the stealth suit outside anyway, issued or not.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

So given the option you would wear it under a cmbt shirt vs over top?

Well, yes, since it was designed to be worn that way. Is this a trick question?

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

This statement by you would indicate to me that you would understand it to be worn under the combat shirt.

 

[Infanteer]

That's how I wear mine.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

under or over

 

[PPCLI MCpl]

I've "counselled" several members of my company on their insistence to wear the stealth suit as an outer garment.  I emphasize that I am not concerned with uniformity, but rather I would hate to see their $120 piece of kit rendered useless by a sharp twig.

 

[Infanteer]

Under my combat shirt - hence the term stealth suit.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

oh I thought it made you invisible.

Jackass.

 

[Jarnhamar]

Slightly off topic,

I just used the stealth suit for the first time. Amazing little piece of kit. I'm told I can get them in the RCR kitshop? Is there somewhere online I could order one of these as well? I have a few things comming up in may I'd like to use it for.

Saw a few guys wearing them out the outside, 2 of them need new tops now.
