ACU and Coyote TAN ?

[JonsM4]

Currently gearing with ACU BDU. Would it look weird to have Condor Soft Shell Jacket in TAN with acu pants? Since the boots are already tan.

Opinions welcome.

If you're wanting to be true to dress, a foliage softshell would be best, ends up looking like a PCU. Condor makes one.
If the definition of weird is something I've never seen before, then yes, it would be.
But glad to see people still rocking the Army Strong UCP.

contrary to popular belief, coyote tan does NOT work well at all with arpat
As stated, I highly recommend foliage green!
(Foliage delta-5 vest)

UCP

DOES NOT MIX with Coyote tan, desert tan, od,

Works with foliage green, and UCP

Seriously, if you want UCP, you go with UCP all the way. considering they're so many of issue UCP surplus its easy to get full loadout in UCP.

isn't there an export restriction? or did that just all happen in my mind?

If you're talking ITAR aka International Trade Arms Regulation

Only restricted UCP gear is body armor related ie IOTV, OTV, SPCS etc
you can get Tactical Assault Panal (use the chest rig adapter) or its predessor Fighting Load Carrier (TAP replaced FLC)

TAP goes about $80-100 on eBay
FLC goes from $15-$40 on eBay

you can get issued/ non-issued pouches easily. UCP is the cheapest of them all
typical SDS (Specialty Defense System aka BAE System aka The Specialty Group) double mag pouch go for $10-$15 new whereas OCP (multicam) goes for $25.

The only down side about SDS mag pouch are:
1) you cannot put two mags in if they have widen base plate like pmag)
2) the 9mm mag pouch can not take extend mag as it's button instead of velcro.

If you're doing US army loadout it shouldn't be an issue.

good thing I got my OTV before the restriction then lol
SDS mag pouches are total crap, but they and AITES make the only decent 100 round pouches around.
I highly recommend tactical tailor, and highly recommend AGAINST blackhawk pouches
