mattyw Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 In Andy Mc Nab's book 'Bravo Two Zero' he said that he got desert boots issued to him. The sas or any uksf would be the first to get kit realy as they were one of the fisrt ones in GW1. Link to post Share on other sites
jkoyr Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 ^ You should get some desert boots. Grow your hair and dont shave for 6 weeks and you have the look. Edit: I love the back ground it looks like you are in GW1 and you have just came back from a fire fight. Well , I got my ref from the known konstipation.com photos (desert and regular black boots seem to be used equally). Growing hair is out of question as I'm 37 and got a strict job . Notice the sweating in the second pic , it was around 40 degrees Centigrade ... Thanx. Link to post Share on other sites
Murta369 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I think pictures speak louder than words few familiar faces there albeit younger. b20 team photo one or two dessie boots but you can see there mainly black. and actually they wernt all the time to get the newest kit as quite a few equipment shipments got cocked up , thats why the team was left with no side arms Link to post Share on other sites
Staffy Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Brit Forces footwear in GW-1 was a mixed salad... DMS, US dessies, US junglies, early Brit desert boots, Clarks, civvie/aftermarket desert boots, Timberland's, and a lot more... Link to post Share on other sites
druid799 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 staffy is correct every posible boot was worn from issue black combats to civvie hiking boots (with all and sundry in bitween!)the issue deserts had prity poor quality control on them as they were rushed through , the only people who had the good ones were with units which had been on a desert deployment within the past 12mths .

mattyw Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Lots of related threads for Falklands kit here: http://www.arniesair...p?showforum=226 Thanks misfit must of missed that bit. Sorry mate not at all did I mean to rub it in I was just backing up my original intentions so im sorry if you took it badly It ok that foget it happened and thats start talking about the UKSF. I am thinking of doing a woodland load out and I have seen may photos from you lot. So I am wondering what would be better webbing or an aasult vest? I have got some new rip stop trousers and was wondering would they be ok? and would the uksf just use basic s95 shirts ? Link to post Share on other sites
thewallhitme Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 so ive been hunting around and i dont think i can find the right stuff. http://www.konstipation.com/stuff/walt/sbs/afghan/c_sbs04.jpg can anyone tell me what type of black shirt the guy on the right is wearing? it seems to be one of those close fitting wicking shirts that people wear for sport, but the only ones i can find seem like they are Thermals and woud retain heat. is there a proper name for them i should be looking for?

Jim01 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 Nike Pro vent or Under Armour. Those are the main two original makes that where being produced at the time. Id put money on it being the nike one myself. Link to post Share on other sites
mattyw Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think it is the Under Armour shirt, look here http://uktactical.com/acatalog/Under_Armour_Long_Sleeve.html Link to post Share on other sites
thewallhitme Posted June 24, 2010 Report Share Posted June 24, 2010 ah fudge. thats one of the ones i already looked at, but they call it the "Heat GearLong Sleeve Crew" so i thought it was thermal, not cooling. cheers guys. Link to post Share on other sites
robp Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 ah fudge. thats one of the ones i already looked at, but they call it the "Heat GearLong Sleeve Crew" so i thought it was thermal, not cooling. cheers guys. I think there's a different photo showing the trades knocking about, but the t-shirt is a Lowe Alpine base layer. Any base layer would do though - North Face, Berghaus, HH etc. Link to post Share on other sites
Murta369 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Matty no one uses just shirts unless its super hot and humid , like jungles. tropics would be prefered but for my woodland loadout im doing a assualt vest with some belt kit and a bandoliier and bergan with a smock and tropic pants so something along them lines HH lifa is known to be a favorite . but heatgear is more of a compression shirt , while underarmour cold gear is a thicker weave to keep you warm i have quite a few in that range from my rugby days Link to post Share on other sites
chatham Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 There are more types of clothing in the heatgear line than just compression clothing. I've got a loose fitting long sleeve tee along with the compression stuff. I think this is the picture in question which has the logo on it. Considering how everyone else is dressed, it's more than likely something for the cold. I already have my own preferred vest, but does anybody know what brand this one is?

pumba1504 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hey CHatham, Its a SIGTAC vest. SIGTAC is the clothing range from SIG SAUER. They are really decent vests, i have one in the very same colour as the guy in the pic. Link to post Share on other sites
voodookid88 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I think SigTac clothing came out after 2001. Link to post Share on other sites
Murta369 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 i think Its actually from a brand called "humvee" from when ive searched about Link to post Share on other sites
Staffy Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 Neither Sigtac nor Humvee vests have that label on the left lower pocket flap... Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Hi, im thinking of colleting a UKSF woodland gear set. For the weapon M4 or HK416, depends of my taste at that moment. But im thinking what vest i should take. CIRAS (OD), WSH (OD) or General Ops (DPM). What one u guys would recommend. Somehow im more to WSH rig than other ones. Link to post Share on other sites
spetsnazdave87 Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'd stick to general ops mate. Link to post Share on other sites
Murta369 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 agreed, or a RRV or some sort of other chest rig maybe even belt kit, as the other two you named were armour carriers and m4? where did you pull that one from Link to post Share on other sites
Madcap Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 So General Ops would be great and as the gun HK416? Link to post Share on other sites
