Belladonna Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Right, im looking to do an overt sbs setup from A'stan. i was thinking along the lines of tricol pants with hikeing boots, dpm jacket.. molle padded belt with first like stuff and dropleg and dumper, and a chest rig (od krynoned dusty tan). with a m4 not quite as pimped as us stuff. a forces 44 daysack (i have a fairly abused dpm one i can use), and either a dpm squaddified boonie, in dessie, or a shamagh moddified into a head wrap, and a shamagh around my neck? useing ESS ice glasses like shades. anyone got suggestions on improving this? or is it quite close? ive tried looking on militery photos for sbs pics, but came up with nothing, id appreciate some helpful reference images thanks Link to post Share on other sites

Jagdraben Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Why? Because Belladonna has come over to the Dark Side? Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 In the book Bloody Heroes all the SBS operators wear civies. In all the pics they're in green/tan trousers/jackets with civvy hiking boots. I think its one of those things like with PMCs where they wear whatever they feel most comfortable in. There was definitely no set kit list. Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Nuts.. those pics (well, at fair chunk of them) are not in the Bloody Heroes book released down in NZ. Link to post Share on other sites

Is that tthe 5.11. vest ore something local made ? Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 indeed, quite a lot have what im after, am i right thinking one guy has dessie tigerstripe with his dpms? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quite possible ( can't be arsed to look at em al ), their was apicture about of some SAS guys in Iraq wearin em, so the SBS probably do aswell. As someone above said they where what suits. Got a paid myself, well cool. Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 i think peps here are obsessed with that sort of vest being 5'11, to me, it looks like a comon or garden garden waistcoat, or fishing vest, just green, and unobtrusive, the sort of thing a camera man would use. im quite suprised by the lack of armour.... then again, its sbs, and everyone knows all british special forces are bullet proof am suitable chest rig?

LeeC Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 My most recent attempt at the look started out with a chicom but found a claymore bag seemed to 'fit' with the look better its also alot more comfortable in the long run Sigtac clothing pair of Lowa desert boots - under alot of mud and a shemagh + indiginous AK Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Brilliant look, i am like lots... edit: just got my camera working, what do we think of this? Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I think mayhaps that civilian gloves would complete the look. Might be just me, though. Link to post Share on other sites
Lord Blackgoat Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 That makes us regret that sf don't have women... great load out Bella! Lovely collection of bottles too... Link to post Share on other sites
BigAl Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 Would definately replace the 3 Colours with DTS. Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 That makes us regret that sf don't have women... great load out Bella! Lovely collection of bottles too... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That depends on whose SF we're talking about. The Peshmerga, for instance, are often considered to be 'special forces' and they employ womenfolk.

Belladonna Posted March 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 i like that civi gloves idea Jagdraben... ill change them to sports ones, although i do love my nomexs, also going to just tie my hair back instead of bandana... Link to post Share on other sites
Surreel Big Fish Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We can tell that Bella is a student or that she has a drinking problem! But the look is good, maybe change the shirt for a light outdoor jacket? Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted March 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 ol, i admit i am a student yeah, might change the jacket but id want dessie dpm pants to not look like a yank... this mix works for an overt look. ill do a covert look too soon see how that works out... all hiking kit Link to post Share on other sites
