scorch Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 He can have camouflage in whatever pattern he likes, as long as it's DPM. EDIT: or British, at least. Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 Kiss your mini goodbye. It seems so! It's hard not to catch the bug when you drive one I will admit! No, it just means you have to buy another for her! I've already got another sitting that needs a full refurb! Just don't have the garage/wonga to get it started! Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 He can have camouflage in whatever pattern he likes, as long as it's DPM. EDIT: or British, at least. If you need DPM, I have some Gortex, combat jackets and stuff for sale, plus other stuff that I have temporarily misplaced in the various house moves... Link to post Share on other sites
DrAlexanderTobacco Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 I still use my old cadets DPM after 6ish years of airsofting. If it works, it works... Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 DPM is more effective than MTP for the British woodlands. Link to post Share on other sites

scorch Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 DPM and MTP are about an even split at my local, depending on which part of the site you're on and what the weather is doing. On bright days in the dappled sunlight, MTP is king. Link to post Share on other sites

I'll see what he likes the look of. If he goes for DPM I'll most likely be in touch. Who knows. He might go for some if the kryptek knock off that I know the local place does. I can guide him, but I cant make him choose the right stuff. As long as he gets the right boots I don't mind what he picks. Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted June 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 To me, DPM looks professional and MTP looks like you are in your pajamas. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 That's the cut of PCS, not the pattern though. I hate PCS in barracks or on parade, it's not what it was designed for. No amount of ironing makes it look smart. Why the army refuse to issue proper barrack dress/parade dress to soldiers any more is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites

Tw1tch Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 My Olight came in yesterday and so far I'm loving it. Really handy that you can orientate the pocket clip so you can have lens up or down based on preference, I might still get a belt pouch for it though as my pockets are usually full of pens/keys/phones etc. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 If it's a daily light, just let it wear naturally! All mine are dinged and scratched. The only one I take care of is my klarus mix6 as it's gold plated Edit for autocorrected name to Klaus! Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 It's more the fact that when I go to draw it from my pockets I tend to take what's in the pocket with it. I'm a leftie so have my wallet and pens in my left pocket with keys in my right (and when at work I carry another bunch of keys with about 20 on there, only know the purpose of four haha).

Xaccers Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Flecktarn am best camo *sits back and watches the flames consume everything* Flectarn has two things going for it: 1. In the autumn it really works, blending in well with the fallen leaves. 2. If you puke over yourself, no one will notice. Back in my *cough* slimmer days, many moons ago, I used MARPAT which worked really well. Now I've got a bit (lot) of middle age spread, I can't find camo trousers to fit so I just wear some tough green work trousers. I mean I wear a MTP top too, obviously, otherwise that would be horrific... Imagine being shot in the bare moob? Owie! Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 I got the China-made motocross armor for a cosplay project, and it turns out that all the parts hold together using wide-head M5 screws. And it so happens that I have a nice supply of longer ones, so it's just a matter of drilling eight holes in the old American football shoulder pads I bought on a whim back in the day, and bolting the chest and back plates to them - of course after spraying the entire dealio flat OD. Then I'll go about weathering it with some paint. Link to post Share on other sites
