Dunno if the website is legit tho... A bit expensive for snow coveralls I'll use what, 2 times a year? But the first time I've seen them available for sale like this... I want them. I fucking want them.

Post it on W. SOmeone will def know if legit or not

[Conker]

Good point, will do!

Nice find, Conker! Let us know how it pans out.

Besides my greenside kit, the other setup I'm looking to finish revolves around a Scalable Plate Carrier. I don't have the coin to drop on a Pantac one, but Flyye has just released pics of theirs:

And, I just found one by "Shark Gear" on the RSOV site:

It looks awesome and the price is right, but I've never even heard of Shark Gear before. What do you guys think?

Wow dude, nice find. Seems like the first affordable, decent looking SPC on the market. The real question is definitely the quality though.

Looks like they also released an MTV:

I emailed Flyye last week about price and availability on their SPC, and the reply consisted of a link to their eBay store and eHobbyAsia. Not much of an answer, but something to keep an eye on I guess.

Thanks.

My woodland/MARPAT Greenside Recon kit, it's still a WIP.






Excuse the woodland boonie and hiking boots, they will be replaced soon by a MARPAT boonie and some Danner's.

Also picking up a woodland medium ALICE pack. Then in the near future a G&P M4 RAS, some sort of comms system, a SAW mag pouch, maybe an E-tool with the cover, and some other small stuff.

Also excuse the bulkiness of my head. The neck gaitor looks puffed out when over the ears, and the shemagh wasn't worn properly due to the fact that this was just a 5 minute photoshoot. Also excuse the straps, I'll police those up when I have a better looking rig.

[JohnGol10]

Has anyone ever seen this combination of gear?



LWH, Norotos, and MTV?

[Conker]

Looks like a MICH to me, not an LWH. Based on the helmet cover, Norotos and patches I'd say Force Recon (so pre 2006) but I could be wrong. Indeed the MTV is kinda WTF but... not impossible per se.

[JohnGol10]

Maybe a MICH with an LWH chinstrap. You can tell by the OD color and leather near the ears.

[Conker]

Thanks to John for the link on the CAP! Pics of the inside to come.
I probably won't keep all these medical supplies except maybe the scissors and the CAT . The pack itself is really great and in perfect shape (took it out of the plastic lol!) For some reason there was one of the buckles missing, but I happened to have a couple ILBE replacement sets so not a big deal.




Left - my new corpsmen assault pack (basically the Recon assault pack with medical dividers). Center, the "classic" assault pack. Right, the "classic" main pack. Both are Gen2 (except the straps on the main pack).

[JohnGol10]

Wow, you actually got it? That's great to hear!

[pugs144]

I just saw this on ebay: The USMC ILBE Recon pack. A google search says it's got 1,000 cubic inches more capacity than the standard ILBE ruck.

Drool

Those Marine might be engineers. They are issued with MICH and Norotos mount. The vest are MTV or Spartans

Conker: How much are these pack worth, empty?
I kinda want a large backpack for those very long recons...
