  1. I have those also in side zip but in gortex. They are comfortable but very warm I found. I also think they look like moonboots. For actual military use the side zip is great when you get up in the middle of the night for sentry duty. No screwing around with your boot laces.
  2. I think oakleys QC is quite hit or miss. I know some people with oakley stuff that lasts forever and others there stuff falls apart.
  3. I got mine in an oakley forces order. I received mine in September but due to school didn't have a chance to field them at work much until after Christmas when I started doing the army thing full time again. Mine look exactly like yours do and so did my roommates. We had the toe come unstitched in his as well as the sole separating from the boot and the eyelets at the top of the boot coming out. The leather is not strong at all and comparing it to any other boot I own it sliced and ripped very easy. Its just like the oakley gloves there great for short term work but basically disinte
  4. They were on sale at Mountain Equipment COOP in Halifax when I was home last.
  5. Awesome the orange ones are on sale for 30 dollars at my local hiking store I shall pick some up to test out. The *suitcasey* thing is I wear them in 14g and its hard to find that size.
  6. Boots are something I can comment on with a lot of experience of brands. -Oakleys were terrific for comfort terrible for staying together. Everyone I know who has had them and used them in the military have had them disintegrate in one way or another within 6-8 months. -Belvilles are tough *albatross* boots. They are reasonably comfortable but I would replace the insoles in most of them. However any smart person should do that anyways. -Bates are terrific in comfort not as good as Oakley but they fit the bill. However if your feet sweat to any degree these aren't the boots for yo
  7. Pantac Warthog Backpack With my coyote tan 3 day assault pack starting to show its age I decided it was time to find a replacement. I was often asked why I wore a brown backpack as a school bag. The reason I used it was because it was a terrific bag. It stored a lot and was really comfortable. It was great for hauling around tons of engineering books, or when I was at work cans full of ammo. With that said it would be a hard bag to replace, would the warthog be a sufficient replacement? Outside We shall start with the top of the bag because I think it's pretty cool. I had th
  8. Pantac Forward Deployment Pack Outside This bag is covered head to toe or I suppose carry handle to bottom in molle webbing. Not only is it covered in webbing but it's also covered in pouches. There are a total of six zippered pockets hidden over this bag. To give you an idea of size this is bigger than the 3 day assault pack. Each side of the bag has a extremely long zippered pocket that almost spans the entire length of the bag. The pocket is four inches wide and is not a raised pocket so it can't hold overly much. It is good for holding the random bits of kit you need to
  9. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...howtopic=160187 I sure do I pretty much own every backpack Pantac makes including there two new ones which will have reviews soon. I do have to say I prefer the way the tad replica carry's a load it feels more comfortable but I much prefer the storage space of the 3 day assault as well as the plastic and metal bit you can mold. I have to say I really like the new forward deployment backpack. It holds a ton and is by far the most comfortable.
  10. I have been far to busy as of late to pump reviews out at the steady pace I once did but I plan to try to get 3 out a month. I buy a lot of stuff and would love to tell the masses about my purchases so they can decide if they also need one. As always please comment so I can find areas to improve I do these for you guys not for me. Background Info The Weesatch was designed by HSGI to be a similar rig to there very popular Wasatch. It is a tad lighter due to it being able to hold a few less mags 12 vs 10. The pouch in the mesh area at each side of the vest is not there to save on s
  11. Haha I will take my second place . I sure do love my classics there far to much fun.
  12. A shot of the monster in its slow process of being converted to a C9 KG9 with the stock folded KG9 with the stock extended CAR 15 with stock at its shortest CAR 15 with stock extended fully. There is one position in the middle of these. The CAR 15 has a scs hopup like my KG9 does. This is an early form of hopup but works well because most classics would eat a normal hopup rubber. The CAR 15 has a nice slow rate of fire and a meaty sound. The scs gives it a bit of a kick which is kinda cool but no wear near a gbb.
  13. Went to add some pouches to the flyye rrv and there is a single molle channel that is too skinny to attach pouches. I have notified the company that they need to pick up there quality control.
  14. People have this wierd thought that lipo will explode there guns. Its not true to an extent. You will most often get a slightly higher rate of fire which means your gun will die a tad faster then run on just a regular battery. However the decrease in trigger lag, rof boost make lipo a great idea. Give it a go you will like it.
  15. I dont think so there isnt a whole lot of room inside this thing. I think lipo is the only way to go.
  16. I will be adding an IR laser to mine and will write a guide on how I did it. Thank you for the comments on my review.
  17. You require this if you want to slap a battery in it http://rsov.com/index.php?target=products&...product_id=3332 . As always if there are points you would like to see me improve on for future reviews please feel free to let me know.
  18. I dont think so. I think lipo is the only way you can get something inside. Rsov sells the lipo battery I believe. I dont own any electric guns currently I only own classics and the vsr.
  19. Vanaras ANPEQ 15/ Advanced Target Pointer/ Illuminator/ Aiming Light (ATPIAL) Info on the real one The PEQ15/ARPIAL is a product of Insight Tech Gear designed as a replacement for the PEQ2. The PEQ15 is smaller and can be sighted without night vision unlike its predecessor. This is due to the visible laser being adjusted at the same time as the infra red laser. The laser also has the ability to project different shapes so your team mates know who is aiming where. This info is just some interesting background knowledge since the Vanaras one does not do any of those things. It
  20. No problem. I come from a very small group of airsofters and we tend to live several hours apart so its hard to try on new kit. So I figure I will release reviews of everything I get. I will be doing one on the new pantac plate carrier hopefully tomorrow.
  21. Pantac RRV (Coyote Brown) Vs Flyye (Multicam) The real deal info The Rhodesian Reconnaissance Vest is a relatively cheap (price wise) vest made by several different companies. It is light weight and the straps can be worn in two configurations. The bib can also be folded down to make a low profile vest. The RRV also has the ability to attach a plate in the front of the vest. Build Material Pantac- As with all Pantac products quality material is used. YKK zippers, Invista 1000D Cordura, ITW NEXUS buckles etc are used. The stitching looks bomb proof as I have grown accus
  22. Thank you for the kind words. Its the second in a series of hopefully many reviews. The internal dimensions are 53cm x 13cm x 13cm so if your rifle fits that you will be good. You are correct they are two separate companies that happen to be competing. As I have said before any suggestions criticisms etc of my review please feel free to let me know. The only way to improve is by knowing what people are looking for.
  23. Pantac vs Flyye Go Bag The real deal info The S.O. Tech Go Bag was designed for vehicle drivers and chopper crews. Its small cylindrical design is made so that it can easily store in the confined spaces of the vehicles where a traditional bag would not fit. The carry straps on each end allow the Go Bag to be grabbed by the crew when they need to get out in a hurry. I have been using mine as a random gear bag for a week now. I have stored everything from tools to clothes in it. I have nothing but good things to say with this design. Build Material Pantac- This Go Bag i
