    Those are the Haix desert boots issued for Mali. Different beast but similar design.

    I saw a few people trialling the new boot today... Haix Scout in brown.
    Saw one of the lads in my location late last week wearing a pair. But he was issued same on foot of the fact that he is deploying overseas shortly.
    Canvas boots, fine for dry, dusty environments, but would be an absolute b'stard to get properly cleaned again if you stepped in a muckpond with them, IMHO.
    Asked him if they were Goretex lined, he didn't know...

    I've never found gaiters that useful tbh in a patrolling env but am RDF so limited experience. Plenty of hillwalking and I find the same

    losing gaiters and headover seems a bit short sighted.

    always handy bits of kit...especially in cold, wet Ireland!

    TBH that post was the first time I've ever called it that. I've heard of barracks jackets being taken off PDF

    Nobody calls it the westlife jacket except people posting here.
    As an aside the Barracks jacket was never taken off the issue scale.
