Little para Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Just found this tasty piece of kit, if you want it, bid on it , it says its genuine and i have never seen genuine Desert PLCE kit. i Envy those of you with money. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/British-Army-PLCE-De...oQQcmdZViewItem Link to post Share on other sites
Kingmob3 Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Its issue, you can tell by the Spanish fly closure system, very few company's put them on non issue kit. KM Link to post Share on other sites
DazJW Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 (edited) The fact the listing has "NSN 8405-99-902-4227" kinda gives it away... Â Same item in a shop. Â Looks like the temperate DPM one I've got (I think Gadge had one in an earlier picture aswell) plus the clips for a camelback and the little blank bit on the top left pouch. Â To be honest it worries me these things are on the civilian market brand new when the lads in Iraq are walking round with temperate stuff :S Or has this been replaced with the new MOLLE (or whatever attachement system it is) armour?

There are a couple of desert DPM knockoff vests out there though. And there's still no official Desert DPM PLCE webbing.  Probs for Strike Force Btw Great company! Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Different to mine in fact i'd be amazed if anyones is exaclty the same as mine as it was one of the initial trial runs sent to ITDU to be trialed before accepting it for service. Â I have the one that was too expensive for the mod, the issue one is similar just not quite as nicely put together or as comfy. Â Mine has quick release buckles closures not spanish ones. Â When my mate gave me his the squadron he went left in 1RTR nearly lynched him as they were all after it. Link to post Share on other sites
ColDaz Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'll try and get a picture tonight of some of the new airborne webbing that's being trialled by a Colour Sgt tonight. Link to post Share on other sites
Fellowz Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 i might go an join the DPM crew, seems most of the mutlicam gear i want is out of stock for months. Â only thing is, will Tactical Tailor or HSGI make anything in DPM for thee? Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 I would you'll, look proper warry and not like you're out of some lame computer game  Seriously its been proven to be the best temperate/jungle cam pattern in trials over and over again, its why it hasn't changed much in 40 years.  Look at how many patterns the us have got through in the same time...  Erdl, Woodland, tigerstripes, acu not to mention variations for corps and services.  Whereas 2 flavours of DPM have done the army proud for a long time.

Fellowz Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 that's a good way of putting it. plus i can get my hands on a smock easier and cheaper in this typical british weather.  i have found a nice DPM plate carrier on CombatKit so i shall be getting my rig from those guys.  tomorrow ill order my DPM BDU, Boots, Gloves, Scarf and belt  my mom isnt going to be happy with the amount of camo ive gone through since i started, and that was since may  BUT I STILL WANT MORE CAMOZ!

Grim Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 LOL Fellowz you should see the amount of camo i have gone through, and still DPM is the most dominant pattern in my room. Â Grim Link to post Share on other sites

Fellowz Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 that is the best thing about it.  I will make my multicam loadout when i have the money. but atm i cbf to wait for months for a plate carrier, and fork out £300 for it.  DPM is cheap and cheerful, not to mention it works here in the UK haha, and im not quite ready to follow the crowd quite yet.  not saying mutlicam don't work it does.

Sergeant Bilko Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 Â Irish DPM for the win. Â I'll get some pics up of it being used later. Link to post Share on other sites

Sergeant Bilko Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 AUG I'll be getting shortly, PLCE I haven't started looking for yet. The PLCE is supposed to be fazed out soon anyway, so I'm thinking about just using an OD MOLLE vest and going for a bit more of an Irish Merc look. Which would make sense, seeing as I'd be the only guy at the field with Irish DPM anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

Redcap Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) A few from when I was in the RMP(v) Â In order: Â On exercise, somewhere up north (can't remember where, think it was Proteus) Woken up on Exercise Log Leap '84, IIRC. The photographer was NOT kind enough to bring me a coffee At the Duke Of York's reopening, 1995 IIRC. Note Shiney Boots (as an old instructor once said, Shiny Bots, Shiny Mind!) Finally, one that many of you'll be drooling over... and we got to fire off four each We were backloading the remainder in favour of the LAW80, you see!
