BIGBC Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Could give a boonie a go, never been much of a hat person lol. How much would a decent looking helmet set me back? Ive got a pretty large head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lerch Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 Well, I've got a 64cm noggin, and my helmet is a large, so just poke around websites (ehobby asia?) and you'll find some good deals. Probably no more then $50 plus shipping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BIGBC Posted April 23, 2010 Report Share Posted April 23, 2010 A rough measure puts me around 60/62 so a large should have me sorted.

TheFull9 Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Looks like good no-frills gear. One thing I did notice, gillie'd backpack? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Cheers. Â Yeah the whole loadout is very low weight and functional, which was the goal. Pack is a Camelbak Hawg I think. Â - Zepher Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BIGBC Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Maybe it's just me being in the biz too long already, but you need headdress bush hat or watch cap, just something to cover your head. Â Better? Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFull9 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Issued Multicam, gucci desert boots, weapon rail systems and ACOGs with backup red-dot sights? Someone in the MoD has clearly cocked up here, the entire point of british kit procurement is to produce the worst possible stuff at the most ridiculous price with the maximum amount of delays, red tape and back-handers going on.

buzzsaw Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Damn. Now I want a RIS for my L85A2. Â Now they just need to issue some awesome Multicam armour/plate carrier package. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
