Is that pack issued or store bought? (looks like Canadian Peacekeeper of Milspec)

That G-wagon does not have a turret.  It has a roof hatch.

Suposed to be the issue one ! ... I know for the G-Wagen ... but my english is not my primary language !

that turreted g-wagon is cool, but is not even close to being anything near as cool as that guy on the bike!!!

It is issued, I personally don't like it when I wear it with my flak vest and plates.  But as a pack it does the job, and much better to carry the radio in than a nuke bag....

You can even see the new ballistic glasses issue to soldiers !

the glasses looks like the Oakley m-frame

Indeed they do.   But I can't see the "O" that is normally on them.

That guy on the bike looks just like one of my friends.   Hmmm...

 

[SEB123]

I know they are not Oakley's but they are the same style

 

[brihard]

Oaklones?

The glasses issue to Canadian Troops is Revision Eyewear.

CADPAT elbow pads.  How quaint.

McG are you implying that the hatch doesn't spin 360?

 

[soldiers301]

The CADPAT Knee and Elbow pads are current issue to all overseas deployment. The contract was awarded to MED-ENG System of Ottawa this FY for 12 500 sets.

CFL,

The Cupola ring will traverse through 360. You just have to crank it. It won't unlock so you can slew it, which would have been a great feature, if they'd asked us.

Or better yet, have the motorized ones that spin with the push/pull of a lever.
