Your report is very good

lapolicegear.com does this too – you are probably on the email list to receive the promotional codes now since you created an account.

I want to know the type of pants he is sporting in your picture there. I can’t seem to find them anywhere.

Yup, the tactical covert route. Totally get what you mean. I wish more brands go down this route.

Genuine ALG Defense Rail/Barrel nut’s fit on VFC Upper’s? Nice to know. Great bunch of info here.

Thought this shirt looked familiar, checked my NZ issue shirt and it’s almost and exact copy but in MCU developed by Hyperstealth. Check them out, they also developed patterns for the Afghani’s

The parka is a direct copy of the M1951 parka. Also known as the “Fishtail Parka”, the cloth flaps are designed to keep snow out and creat a insulation layer.

I think you should take a look at Templar’s Gear products. Most of the Raptor Tactical gear that was shown at Shot Show 2018 was just copied from Templar and probably because of that didn’t get sold. I guess they have spent the year actually making their own designs. 😀

You can find Templar’s Gear on many of the European gear stores. Really good quality stuff.

The SMLE was supposedly to be issued with 2 mags, the 2nd was supposed to be used in the case of a dire emergency. However, with budget cuts etc, the 2nd mag was removed from service and used as a primary magazine for another SMLE. If you ever get a chance to fire the SMLE MkV the sight picture is lightyears ahead of the SMLE MkIII* etc.

Where the hell do I get these? I saw a pic of some operators wearing them I’m Afghan and want to feel like I can slot floppies too.

Hi
Is this a blog site for pro airsoft in archway? Or anyone who owned it? Sorry to post like this but desperately need to speak to someone.

Hey mate just a question could you get the new Australian army issued bush hats?

Hi mate, I looking for a combat uniform in AMCU, can you help me?
Thx a lot in advanced
Best

Love this mod! Any chance you can send me a pattern so I can give it a go?

Love these, and so do many folks around me! We would like to grab some for sure. I understand lead times and the like, but still cannot understand how to order these even after watching the video. Can you send another link or simply this for ordering information? Thanks much

Sportsman’s Guide sold these G2 combat shirts, the mislabeled ‘All weather field pants’ in ripstop nyco as well as well as multicam field pants in the correct softshell material. All three were sold for $80 each.
They all turned up at the same time. I believe they were tests or overruns – I think you are correct in your theory that crye were in the running for a mass contract before they fell out of favor with the military.
SG sells overruns from companies or sometimes military contractors that go out of business. They usually don’t tell you the manufacturer other than US military contractor.

Hi there do you want to sell the combat shirt? I’m interested

Ran several dismount ops with Liz and these installed. Only had one of the side clasps come undone once and only ran the pad component after that.

I would run these pads in my Beyonds as well, over Crye gen 3 pads.

This assessment is spot on. I really like my flatpack in conjunction with my haley or spiritus chest rigs. But these are the only scenarios in which the flatpack works for me. Attaching it to my pc allowed for zero access to my kit (I’m just another dumbass civilian, not a door kicker in a stack) and I found it sat very low, especially when loaded with gear, causing my front plate bag to ride up into my neck.

FYI, someone is impersonating me as “David Ly”

Admin please contact me if you’re needing to verify the validity.

How much for the combat flannel?

M05 NyCo is a thing indeed, it’s called Spartan fabric. Varusteleka’s Särmä-line uniforms also use the same stuff.

Any idea what sort of fabric these are made from? Cotton/polyester twill?

are those ones you have for sale by any means? they were a limited run only and can’t seem to find a pair anywhere anymore..

Good review. Thank you.

Hi! What’s the difference between blockI and blockII NC pants? It’s easier to see on combat shirts but i cant see differences between the pants or if those exists. Thanks for your page where we can find whatever need to known.

I use a fight light split front with the additional padded yoke, as well as their double mag shingles at work. I’ve been in nuclear security long enough to actually have worn out a Mayflower chest rig, and TT is what I settled on for a replacement. My only “upgrade” was putting Haley mag inserts in the shingles so I wouldn’t have to mess with retention straps.

Comfortable and lightweight and very reasonably priced.

Let me know if you’re ever trying to sell these. They’d be nice for deployment.

How would you describe the fit on them compared to other brands, especially in light of the lack of stretch panels? I tried a few pairs on once and the sizing and proportions seemed off. Then again I’m lower speed and higher drag than the intended audience.

As far as I have personally seen, Canadian SOF wear Crye for the uniforms but Arc’teryx is typical for the outerwear.

Probably the only set that I’ll never get my hands on, since I’ve been missing out for a whole lot, and been liking Kryptek a lot more than MultiCam, due to the popular transitional camo being used by a plethora of special forces and law enforcement units, or I’ll just say that the camo being overrated in general. Although I do have some respect for the camo that was supposed to be issued to the US Army and instead opted for their own OEF-CP, or OCP camo by the Natick Labs just by refining it.

I did find a set on EBay in Highlander pattern, but it’s a little suspicious for me to get, since there’s only one picture and I think it was priced around $500 if I’m not mistaken (again, correct me if I’m wrong). Still, I’ve been eyeing on this site for a while and I thought I should say, an excellent review to read on, since I’ve read almost every single one of them.

What do you think of the sizing and the quality in terms of sewing and cut made for the improvement by Platypus Outdoor, so far? And I thought of having to get a custom pair based on these and the Crye G3s from Roman as well someday, since his looks promising too.

One of my favorite sets of cryes. It was really cool to see them featured in zero dark thirty.

I have a pair that don’t have the black Crye stripe on the pocket, which seems odd. But I got them from a legitimate distributor and everything else in your article indicates they’re legitimate.

What about the size/fit? Unusually I wear Arc’teryx M (standard fit) or Arc’teryx L (Trim fit). 1.85m/82kg/104cm chest
So currently I am unsure if I should order a RG one in L or M.

Does Roman have a site where you can order items?

Just snagged a pair of these guys off the bay. Your site has been really helpful over the past few years, appreciate your insights into the various pieces of gear and their origins. I am also focused on combat lowers like you’ve mentioned you are, these have been at the top of my list for a good while. Now, about actually wearing em somewhere… 🙂

Have a pair for sale, size 34R, new never worn but without tags and bag. G1 Multicam Combat Pants. I will sell it for 750 $.

Congratulations man!

Alguien vende el pantalon?

Great write up on the KAC RAS. I’ve been looking for one for my military issue M4 clone I’m building and was surprised at 1) the cost of them, and 2) the rarity of them. Looks like I’ll have to settle on the MI drop in hand guard.

Honestly, I was beginning to be really curious and keen in getting this pair in any Kryptek patterns, but since you mentioned that you wouldn’t entirely recommend this due to the stated issues, I think I’ll stick with UR-Tactical, considering that the latter brand at least has some useful features that I could make good use of for their Stealth Warrior Pants, and at the very least have some freedom with the stretchy waistband, internal kneepads, and some Polartec Power Stretch (Mil/LE) from it, just without the Raid pattern as UR-Tactical doesn’t even offer it, besides Highlander, Mandrake, and Typhon (non-NIR compliant pattern unfortunately). I could ask Roman or USV_GEAR, hopefully when the war in Ukraine even ends.

I actually thought of this pair of G3 pants in DPM as well, as I brought myself an idea of doing Roach’s kit from OG MW2 but in MW2019 theme (in a form of US Expeditionary Force I skin), as it would make sense with the fact that he’s British and is also part of the SAS as well, and pairing it with a grey PCU Level 5 soft shell jacket, a green combat shirt or even a RAID modded BDU shirt. The plate carrier would be the tricky part, considering that I’m both pairing slightly dated gear with modern ones, but I thought of having an LBT-6094 QRC or an ordinary 6094, as well as a 2-piece belt, taking some creative liberties, but I’ll be retaining his classic MICH/ECH helmet with Oakley A-Frame goggles. If I want to, I can grab an Ops Core FAST helmet and the ESS goggles, but I’ll lose that aesthetic of Roach.

Great post! I’ve been wanting to do a RAID mod with my BDU top for a long time and I’m so glad I found this article because it’s given me something to reference when working with a tailor. I’m just curious as to what details/specs, measurements, pictures, or materials (velcro) did you provide to your tailor to ensure that they produced the exact product you were looking for?

Your Crye Precision trousers bunch up at the ankles, I see. Mine do too, but I thought it was just me. I wore large regular in the service and ordered 36 regular. Waist fit is good but the look near the ankles is just like yours: kinda’ long.

Good info. Thanks for this.

I am finding out the hard way that your past observations about Arktis Ltd. were, and are, very accurate. They’ve become rather contemptuous of loyal, legacy customers and if SHOT 2024 is any indication, they’ve have adopted a new business strategy of riding the coattails of big name YouTube e-celebrities and selling to their tacticool fans.

I suppose it may work well for awhile owing to the sheer numbers of Redditors and YouTubers they can reach – at least until the credit cards in America all max out.

Love your site, please keep up the excellent work.

Do you remember what model bipod was used on that MORE? Long time ago I know.

Wonder what your thoughts are on the G4 field pants?

I’d be stoked to learn that this could be one of the rare combat shirts to be featured in Michael Bay’s Transformers (2007) alongside the MultiCam patterned Crye G1s and other Crye goodies.

In fact, just to add, I learned a funny story from some guy (Idk if this was true since I found it from Soldier Systems), that he was a part of some unit that was supposed to get the Crye G1s, but those same batch ended up going to Michael Bay’s Transformers set so the actors got to rock them instead.

Still, seeing Crye G1 combat shirt is just really cool and just goes to show the innovative ideas came to life with this one, and eventually evolved into the G4. In all honesty, while I didn’t mind the stretchiness of the G4 (based on observations only since I never had any real life experiences with one), my concerns are its durability, thus I’d rather stick with the G3s.

As soon as I saw the first image, I could hear the menu music softly playing in my head.

Are they in new condition?
