  1. Owwww. Cool outfit, but your neck/throat is awfully exposed.

     

    Touch wood.. I never seem to take hits in the neck.  Hands and gut however, alllllll the time.  But yeah if you mean the top picture, that's the Leo Kohler combat shirt which is nice, but is kinda let down by a weird collar.  You can fold it up and it'll cover a lot of your neck just fine, but it's not really cut in a way to do so neatly and it bugged my OCD so I just wore it down.

  2. I'm pretty sure the whole concept is a blend of prepping, airsoft, taking lots of shooting classes and gear whoring, with some movie fantasy stuff thrown in.  Comes across like the ideal fantasy world where only certain areas are zombified and the rest of the world is still functioning like normal.  That way you can get geared up and well stocked on supplies easily, hop on your fuelled and serviced blackhawk to drop in to the Z-Zone, merk a few walkers then hop back home to the safe area for a slap up steak and strippers.

  3. Yeah I'd also say the best solid colours for camo effect are things like the UF-Pro brown/green, ranger green etc; at least to my eyes they just seem to change a lot and you can never quite make up your mind what colour they really are.  I've got PCU Level 5 (softshell) stuff that's called 'Alpha Grey' and generally looks light grey but will turn a sort of light green or CB entirely depending on where you are and the light conditions.

    I still think Wolf and its' derivatives are good in the sense of being ideal for use in the dark vs solid black and will stick out less than any wood/transitional/arid camo when you're playing an indoor site.

  4. In modern parlance, a 'field jacket' is the new name for a smock, at least in my line of work.

     

    They make issue smocks to fit a wide range of sizes to account for everyone from tiny people to hulking great rugby players etc that you get in the forces.  The people at either end aren't usually catered for very well admittedly, but it does mean that you can go for the smaller end of the size range for a shorter/less baggy fit.

  5. Most smocks I've encountered have hoods.  Certainly most issued CS95 DPM/PCS MTP smocks you'll find have hoods and the issued Flecktarn one I used to own had one.  Pretty sure the Plat-A-Tac smock I've currently got here also has one.

     

    I don't rate them much in a garment made of standard nyco/poly-cotton, but they're sometimes useful.
