Carbine Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 The ELCS is one of the most comfortable vests I've ever used! I just got one a few weeks ago and apart from the crappy mag pouches I'm very happy with it. Definitely alot better than my previous zippered FLC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

doc_newstead Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Slightly impatient, as I'd ordered a *lot* more stuff, and both suppliers are telling me it's been sent; Bank Holiday has slowed post down apparently. Still, here's a sneak-preview of what it is to come. Doc ditches DPM... Edited May 7, 2009 by doc_newstead Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 A couple of picks of my load out from the skirmish i was on on the 3rd. Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scooberoo Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 Yep it's real, but I got a good deal on it. There are actually a few on ebay for fairly decent prices. I got mine locally. And yeah I am aiming for A'stan SF loadout. - CapaciousZepher That's cool man, I also got my Desert ELCS, but not the whole kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Are the ELCS mag pouches able to hold two or three AR mags? Casue in Scoobs pics it looks like they could hold 3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeuteGegangen Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 The ELCS comes with 3x, 2x, and 1x M16 mag pouches. The ones in the picture above hold 3, as well as a frag and smoke / dd Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Carbine Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 The ELCS 2x and 1x mag pouches suck big time though. I replaced mine with some SDS CQB 2x mag pouches. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ketix Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Please Zepher post a brief List of the things you wear, because I want to go a similar way like you, but was never sure how to make it. And this is pretty inspirational. And do be honest, I'd like to steal some of your ideas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shardik Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Very nice gear, especially love the Rig/Ruck combo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) Alas, there was a mishap with some of the kit (Oakley SI gloves, rigger's belt and hydration pouch were sent, but got sent back; address mixup I think), but the meat 'n' bones of this are done, though I'm still not sure about kneepads... All I need is a HK416 and about 6 different types of aiming devices on it Edited May 15, 2009 by doc_newstead Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 What's the actual idea if you don't mind me asking? Do you have a sandy skirmish venue or thought you'd PMC it up a bit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I honestly don't know now! I suppose my honest answer is, just giving the DPM a rest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shardik Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Nah, stick with the M16 dude, it looks the biz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shriven Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Seconded on the M16, and since when has anyone needed an excuse to wear dessie kit It all looks mint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Seconded on the M16, and since when has anyone needed an excuse to wear dessie kit Personally unless I was actually going to skirmish somewhere sandy I wouldn't buy any to be honest, I'd rather spend the money on more temperate camo appropriate to the site. But as I say, that's purely my way of spending, every time I think about picking up a tan plate carrier or something this little niggle in the back of my mind stops me... possibly I'm just a tight *fruitcage*, hard to say I'll 3rd the M16(A2?) as well, very simple, in this world of pimp my M4 it's nice to see alongside the newer style kit.
