Vila Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Speaking of combat shirts... FMA FAST helmet forthcoming. Edited June 23, 2012 by Vila Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Fancied some analogue action for this weekend, before the WIP is finished, but eventually it'll have a more guccified helmet and a combat shirt instead of the BDU shirt. What rig is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Jon Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Speaking of combat shirts... I sadly don't like the crew neck on the tru-spec ones, so I'm going to have to wrangle something with a mandarin, but they're a good option. What rig is that?

Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Oh yeah, you're the lucky *bramston pickle* with the AOR1 Hugger, I remember now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Jon Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I should probably sell it and buy a few normal vests with the money, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Partly because it's a perfect fit, which plate carriers normally aren't on me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 you should sell it because its not the best PC but due to it being rare and AOR1 will fetch a rediculous price, especially if you can fin dpictures of a team guy using one. I would do it soon, the market on AOR1 has long past its peak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Jon Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) I just like it too much to get rid of, other PC's just don't want to fit me, they're either too short on my body or really bulky (curse of the lanky git), and as I don't need quick release or floatation, I'll stick with it until there's some kind of mega leap in design. That's true, I've actually been kinda pleased by that though, I managed to finally get some Crye pouches. I'm in it for the Nylon anyway, I think the fact I have it is worth more to me. While we're here, are there any woodland combat shirts apart from the hen's teeth Crye or Tru-spec, which I don't like as they have the annoying t-shirt necks?

echodafish Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Best of both worlds, why not sell the AOR1 hugger and buy a hugger in a more woodycam friendly color and pocket the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vila Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Rap4 makes one, but it's "meh" at best. I'd contact UR-Tactical to see if they could make/get a ops combat shirt. They've already got the style you're looking for in MultiCam, both versions of A-TACs, DCU, AOR1, AOR2, OD, Tan, and black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Jon Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Echo: I normally play in AOR1, so I'll stick with it I reckon. Vila: Fair enough, by that point I may as well have a local shop make one out of one of these wicking t-shirts I just got in, they're a nice brown colour (I prefer that to green anyway). Thanks though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) mega leap in design. The hugger is a very antiquated design, essentially a PACA with a BHI chicken plate carrier stitched onto it. The fact that you don't think its bulky tells me you've never used a more modern PC, or atleast one that was fit properly. As for fit a PC should go from your sternal notch to just above your belly button, I'll bet your hugger covers much more than that. Try something like an LBT 6094 or a Crye JPC, hell if you want huge innovation check out the First Spear Stranhogg with 6/12 Negative MOLLE and Tubes. Another interesting fact I bet I know who made your hugger, or at least part of it, and he is a member here... just don't know his user name, Vel-Tye is a very small shop. If you have any inkling of trying to sell you hugger for huge cash do it now rather than later. Edited June 24, 2012 by frogfish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Jon Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 It's actually about that length, I'm 6 foot something and it's a medium. 6094's are the right size without cummerbund, but then I have no space for my stuff, and too big around me with one, then it shifts about. JPC would probably be fine, but I don't really want to pay that much for something that will probably need to have the work done to correct the shoulders tearing down the road. I actually tried on Ckinnerley's Strandhogg a couple of days ago, and I admit I do like the tubes, but It's a bit small long ways and won't go low enough. For the money I may as well try and pester Asgaard into making a laser cut reverse-PALS vest that would fit. I know who you mean, I asked for information on some mystery markings on it once. To be honest I've probably been a bit fast and loose with offhand comments about selling the thing, derailed the thread a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
