tom lawson Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Just seen these on Ebaybanned.com They're quite a novel concept, but for the price you could get a UK issue set of DPM.. I'm not a fan of the collar though, it just looks wrong.. The pattern doesn't look too bad though. http://ebaybanned.com/product_info.php?cur...roducts_id=1402 Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 I don't like the look of those very much at all. Anyway, I seem to remember there being talk of some issue ACU cut being trialed. Link to post Share on other sites
AustinWolv Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Same type of cut as ACU and the Tru-Spec TRUs: http://store.oldgrouch.biz/trtareun.html The pocket layout and velcro already in place is a great thing. Good stuff, a teammate picked up a set and was pleased with the product. Others of us have since ordered. Link to post Share on other sites

nuclear_darkness Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Colours are way of, looks a bit like a mix between 85 pattern and jungle.... Me no like. Link to post Share on other sites
thefallacy Posted June 1, 2008 Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 it seems like the china/hk manufacturers are designing their own bdu's now.. i have the same set but in US woodland not too sure what the design is based on but quality-wise its pretty good nice and thick with lots of pockets/velcro the collar can be worn open or closed across with a small velcro flap, personally i almost always wear it closed because it helps prevent those stinging neck shots!

Maple-Leaf Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 They're quite a novel concept, but for the price you could get a UK issue set of DPM... What's "novel" about it? They've simply taken some imitation DPM material and sewn it up using a copy of the ACU pattern. Nothing unique or novel about it at all. An "improvement" of the Soldier 2000 set would have been better - such as adding knee and elbow patches that can take pad inserts, covering the buttons on the pockets (so they don't snag on stuff) or replacing them with velcro so that they're more comfortable under combat vests and/or body armour. This is just a cheap attempt to cash-in on the ACU style. Link to post Share on other sites

Scatman Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 It looks hideous and rather pricey for what it is, considering it only cost me £10.00 for my dpm 95 trousers and shirt. Link to post Share on other sites
olaman Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Pattern looks wrong, sp does the colours. Why not just surf over to www.soldierstuff.co.uk and pick up a set of brand new, correct clothing for, well, not much more, I can tell you, but don't remember the prices. I feel this item is something I could have added on a large order to "Fill the box", but since shippping i sincluded in the price at EB, I don't think I'll ever get a pair of these.
