ferretkiller Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 I just got in a knock off one from eBayBanned that a friend sent me. The Drifit is really long as well. I prefer it longer. My real one tends to come untucked. It is also a size larger than i normally wear. But i really like it. The pattern itself is overall darker than the real stuff, not just green. I really really like the shirt. ill probably wear it more just as a shirt than to games really. Link to post Share on other sites
rolling-thunder Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 As you can tell my muscular 6 pack has turned into a Keg so the shirt isn't really poseable in for me but i bought it to use as a base layer really,during the colder weather put a field shirt on over it & then at night time wear a ECW jacket.It should keep me toasty & allow me to layer my clothing to compensate for temperature.

ferretkiller Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 Good idea. Link to post Share on other sites
Ou811 Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Doesnt look too bad, a shame about the elbow pads though. And I prefer my 'under armor' type shirts to be longer as well, I have the same problem with them coming untucked while crouching and the like. Thanks for the info rolling-thunder Link to post Share on other sites
Fellowz Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 ive decided to sell my Wasatch, it just too uncomfortable for me, ive tried adjusting the straps to fit but it is very constricting with the plates im, if i take them out it will be too loose and i cant tighten it anymore ill the the Blackwater Plate carrier insted methinks plus my Elbow pad inserts for my crye top have come Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Fellowz, try substituting the plates for a softer material. I know you may hate the idea but motorbike armour grade foam is pretty ###### good in platecarriers and has good rigidity even in thiner thicknesses. Link to post Share on other sites
Fellowz Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 its not the ridgitidy that is the problem, the plates are so thick they will make the rig loose when they are out, and ill need to put a similar thickness of padding to compensate for it. so it would be rather pointless.

airsoftkona Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) Just thought I would share some of my multicam gear. I have been turned on to the interesting hobby of sewing my own gear cause I can't ever get what I want or need in Multicam easy and for sure not for cheap so I started making my own. Here is a vest design I just finish yesterday. Its a cross between the FSBE and a CIRAS. Its cut for BALCS soft armor so will fit real armor if I wanted. Drag handle is reinforced, all pals (molle) is quad stitched, and backing is mesh to make it breathe. I am going to finish the straps with velcro so the adjusments will stay and make pads but I ran out of the velcro I need and am waiting for some slipnot fabric to make the padded strap covers. Next I am going to work on plate pouches that will attach by molle on the front. I don't like internal plate pockets cause I don't like the way they sit against my body. Plus I can dump them easy if I decide I don't care for the look and want to save weight. I also designed a modular holster so I can just switch holsters instead of the whole rig. I designed the straps at an angle so it sits perfect on my slanted leg. All done in multicam, holster and suppressor pouch. Still waiting on some shock cord for the leg straps as well... Also built a blast belt but did not get pictures of it yet. Enjoy! Edited October 29, 2007 by airsoftkona Link to post Share on other sites
ferretkiller Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 That is incredible man. You definatly hve the right idea. If i had a sewing machine that would handle the fabric i would love to be able to design my own. Good Job!! Link to post Share on other sites
gonzo1 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 AK - looks great! Making gear is fun stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenneo Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Nice work man, I think I have seen you over on the DIY board. This made me notice that I never posted pics of my rig when I finished making it, so here are a few. Link to post Share on other sites
airsoftkona Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Thanks for the comment guys. It will look better once I finish the sholder pad straps but again still waiting for supplies. Yup thats me over at the DIY board. I go by HangingChads on there... I got into doing my own gear cuase I never liked the way stuff came and wanted it to work for me and not the otherway around. My brother got me into it actually. He started making slings for fellow airsofters so I figured its probably not much more to do other gear as well. Nice Crye rig there! I want to build one myself but I am waiting till some matrials pan out. I am going to try and do the rubberized shoulder pads and plastic clipping panel deal befor I build it. I am trying to get ahold of another machine cause I have hit the limits on mine. Link to post Share on other sites
Fenneo Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I have quite a bit more kydex if you want some for the quick release. It will be cheap to help a fellow gear maker. Link to post Share on other sites

Grim Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Now thats a nice look LORD SEX i think the SCAR makes that load out work well, although i would go with some tan colour mags for it my self. Grim Link to post Share on other sites
LORD_SEX Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yeah, i would actually use tan mags with it, but the only tan mag i have is a hi-cap, and i hate them too much, even for a pic purpose J/K Link to post Share on other sites
-Drake- Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Im convinced lord sex's pics are actualy posed on a manakin of some kind D= Same few poses everytime. Not that they're bad or anything of course Anyway i think your loadout above would be perfect if you had gloves on of some discription. but still very cool Link to post Share on other sites

LORD_SEX Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Well, i actually use a tripod to take the pics,i only have 10seconds to get into pose, so there isn't much innovation.So thats why they are the same pose, and apart from that, there aren't much poses to show in a "home posing". lol I didn't know if adding a pair of tan nomex gloves, or mechanix, or black hatch gloves, so i just went without gloves. lol Link to post Share on other sites

kliskey Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Razor, I agree that some Oakleys might be better, but to be fair, the Mech gloves are just as good Link to post Share on other sites
airsoftkona Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Here is the updated vest and gear. Decided to take some pictures with some of my gear on. Just finished the front plate pouch today and got the supplies to finish the padded shoulder straps. So the vest is done and ready to go just needs the back plate pouch. Also am finishing up the rest of the pouches for it. Enjoy! Link to post Share on other sites
