OG Kit, New Webbing
If I were to get chest rigs and/or assault vests, what colour would you pick? OG, Brit DPM (these are the easiest to get), Central European, US Woodland?
Also, if I was to get some brand new OG PLCE, would people pay around the €100 mark for it?"The dolphins were monkeys that didn't like the land, walked back to the water, went back from the sand."

Decent Kit
One of the most valuable pieces of kit I ever bought was a platypus hydration pack. Never used it on exercise, as the thing had a very inconviently bright colour. Still, makes it much easier to prevent dehydration, just keep on sipping.Take these men and women for your example.
Like them, remember that posterity can only
be for the free; that freedom is the sure
possession of those who have the
courage to defend it.

Liberty is being free from the things we don't like in order to be slaves of the things we do like.

If you're not ready to die for it, put the word freedom out of your vocabulary.

US Woodland would suit our dpm better than brit or og would..... but then again i have a love/hate thing with the german pattern!Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...

Over the past months I have bought webbing (via Cushtac) and a basha (via the IMO Kit Store) and I most admitt that both were of very good quality and have both proved very useful when on the ground recently. The webbing was especially useful for FIBUA and Pot NCO`s course. The service was very prompt and I was kept informed all along the process.
So come on and support the store.
On the question of best kit Ive bought. I bought a pair of second hand british army assualt boots as I only had one pair of boots at the time (a pair of god damed awful 24b`s) They have been really good and give really good support to my ankles which some people know are shite at the best of timesOnly the dead have seen the end of war - Plato

The best bit of kit i have bought is a Wyvern daysack, it is big enough to carry all the kit you need for a day at the ranges like helmet, body armour, warm kit, scoff etc. You can also zip on the PLCE bergen side pouches which gives you 60 litres of space, enough for a weekend in the field if you have a small enough sleeping bag. I also have a Snugpak softie 6 sleeping bag which is ideal for the summer and when staying in camps. It is about 30cm long and 20cm wide in it's compression sack so doesn't take up much space in a bergen.Prior preparation prevents piss poor performance.
