BigAl Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Guess work but i'd say you can't. They'll be so busy churning out desert ones which is afterall where where fighting at the moment that they probably haven't even got past prototype stage in green yet.

tom lawson Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 hey mate, the vests in that pic aren't ospreys, they are the new Load Carrying Tactical Vest produced by CQC but that doesnt matter as i doubt they are produced in normal DPM at all, as Big Al said. however, take a look http://www.pointmangear.com/index.php?type=22 that should do it for you Link to post Share on other sites

pux Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Right im off to sell my wyvern assault vest and desert assault vest to fund one of them gucci point jobbies Link to post Share on other sites
twig Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Having seen these the quality is quite poor, the pouches look like they are to fall apart! Plus I found them surprisingly hot for something designed for the desert. I personally used a tactical tailor vest when I was last out there, with all manor of pouches from different manufacturers. Most of my guys were still using Arkis and Webtec vests out there in green, so your money hasn't been wasted! Link to post Share on other sites

kliskey Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Twig are you saying that the Wyvern is bad? Or the Osprey? By the way, welcome back Pux - Havent seen you in these parts for quite some time Link to post Share on other sites

By the way, welcome back Pux - Havent seen you in these parts for quite some time Hey hey Dude been busy building sand castle's :P i think twig refers to the New cqc assault vest asi know a few people using the wyvern like me and love em!!! the only problem i found is the pistol holster as the stiching came apart when i had pistol stuffed in there!!! But as said earlier i really like the way you can change the layout on these new vests Link to post Share on other sites
morpcat Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Twig are you saying that the Wyvern is bad? Or the Osprey? By the way, welcome back Pux - Havent seen you in these parts for quite some time I think he means the CQC LCTV vest that is designed to go over the Osprey. Again, the usual concern is with the quality of the webbing straps. Link to post Share on other sites
twig Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I was initially issued the desert assault vest which is like the old "All-Arms" Dpm assault vest. I thought it was rubbish and was a very poor fit over Osprey. Most of my boys binned them because they couldn't get into fire positions. By the end we were issued the Molle vests (sorry I'm not a G4 geek, so I don't know what they are called) but we found them uncomfortable, the straps and buckles looked very sub-standard. By this time everyone had got their loaded-out pretty much sorted (and harry blacked together). Osprey absolutely rocks, much better than CBA, although it's heavier it's so much cooler because someone has actually designed it with heat reduction in mind. CBA was cleared designed by one of the MOD's headshed's children. The only problem is if you put your pouches on your Osprey you have to wear them everywhere (this is a massive pain on a 36 hour road move). Personally when I go back-out in a few months it will be PLCE or my Tactical Tailor rig. Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbles Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Curious - while we're on topic...I'll be putting together a simple UK load shortly...and I have a tactical tailor mesh vest that I'd like to use as the basis - are there MALICE compatible pouches in DPM or dessie DPM - and if so...where? I have tons of random CB and OD ones etc...but I'd like a little dpm on the vest. Any help would be appreciated - are the Pointman vests reasonable, or the pouches? Link to post Share on other sites
