Rogue845 Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 Not to my knowledge. SF don't use it because they have access to much better kit than osprey. Same for contractors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jafar_zt Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I've seen some fotos SFSG with Osprey body armour , but I can not find them now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abbadon101 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 SFSG and the Pathfinders use the Osprey off and on depending on what unit they are, where they are blah blah blah. British SF units get issued a big bag full of Paraclete and Blackhawk kit so then don't tend to use the Osprey at all. Â I know recently that SFSG have been using the new Mk4 Ospreys again as they are much better than the older ones. But you won't be able to get hold of them legally yet.

TheFull9 Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 RS I'm afraid, but the DPM's in there. Â Â Ironically though, MTP is much more effective down here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HJA1512 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Have anyone here used BCB MOLLE pouches? Are they any good? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 BCB are a bit like Web'Tex and Highlander from what I've seen, generally quite low quality copies of issue kit,. Aimed at cadets and forces personnel who don't know anything about quality gear. Â Warrior are the way to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HJA1512 Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Really? :/ When I searched google before asking here I couldn't find much info, but I got the perception that they are held in higher regard than Web-Tex at least. Perhaps not really saying much of the quality though considering how bad Web-Tex supposedly is. Â I want my pouches in temperate DPM camo so that's a problem when looking around. I really like the Range Master pouches quality-wise. I ordered this one anyway http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MjYzWDE5Mg==/$(KGrHqR,!l!E9Hm73Po1BPVlmeV6tw~~60_35.JPG from BCB, will be interesting to see what it is like.

TheFull9 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I'm sure G1098 do DPM MOLLE pouches, their stuff would be far better I'd have thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HJA1512 Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I had never heard of G1098 before actually, but now that I looked them up they have some nice things. Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Solid Snake.pt Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I had never heard of G1098 before actually, but now that I looked them up they have some nice things. Thanks for the tip. Â You can also look-up Begadi's stuff (begadi.de), they do DPM, although I'm not entirely sure how their DPM matches up compared to traditional UK DPM. It looks more akin to Portuguese DPM or the old UK Tropical DPM -- the green seems "brighter", more vivid. Pattern seems to have larger shapes, too. Â Unsure of their quality, but I believe it's quality stuff, 1000D and have heard good stuff from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HJA1512 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'll check their stuff out as well, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sid101 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 spotted the Most ally guy this side of the last falklands just now. Para, in a '90 dpm parasmock dress pips on the shoulder! '58 web belt on top. mtp trousers looking like they have never seen an iron and a few sizes too big. od jungle boots oldschool panama soles. All this guy was missing was a sweet *albatross* mustache and he was set for the hill. I would call Walt if it were not for the 4 guys with him who I would actually buy as squaddies. and he got off at colchester which is proof enough of being genuine or suicidal. I did snap a cheeky photo as I was heading to the platform Will poke it up later. Not saying they can't dress as they wish but one would expect a better turn out of a Captain Sorry for the old-ish revive on this post but was it this man? Really reminds me of him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacko_Page Met him last year and that pretty much describes him, had SAS marked rank slides too. Though being the Directors Special Forces may excuse that? :L Quote Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Nope not that guy. I lost the picture during a hard reset of my phone i have seen a couple of MTP and DPM mashups since so i'm assuming it has a degree of acceptability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â Up to a point, and only because most people can't tell the difference between Multicam and MTP. Usual rules in the filed/on Ops apply - ie if it works, fine, but don't take the p**s.

Lerch Posted July 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Â New additions to my OPFOR bin, two jungle shirts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted July 30, 2012 Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Tropicals aren't OPFOR surely? I saw a section of SFSG guys here wearing that stuff just last week, heh. Â Went down to stores the other day for some stuff to replace my CS95: Â Â Haven't unpackaged it all, not much need to. Why they're giving me camo rank tabs I'm not sure either since I have to wear blue ones; someone evidently thinks I'm more tactical than I actually am. Â Overall though I have to say it's not at all unpleasant to wear. It's not going to be as good in the winter and I really felt for guys I saw in the falklands who'd had their CS95 replaced with this when I was still wearing mine, and making a lot of the insides out of weak mesh instead of poly/cotton was a bad idea. But on the other hand doing away with all the buttons down the shirt is nice, and they've kept the zips on the filed jacket chest pockets which I'm very pleased about, and having all these extra sleeve pockets and velcro for patches when 'softing is going to come in handy.

scorch Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Just bought myself some DDPM gear.  Couldn't say no to a complete new lightweight outfit for £25 ish.  Will throw up a pic in the next day or so, when I get a decent one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Right, only a preliminary pic took in a mirror for now as there is nobody about to take one for me. Â Not skirmished it yet, but initial impressions are that I like it a lot. Â The shirt feels better to wear than the UBACS I wear with my temperate DPM. Â Â Â (yes, there are stickers and crud all over the mirror, my sisters room is the only room with a full length mirror.) Edited August 1, 2012 by scorch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
