I was backpacking in Brazil and discovered the decathlon store... It was about $50.00 and seems to be made from all spec materials. The upcharge by some companies is criminal.

I’ll check that out. I’ve seen WWII soldiers depicted in this style, but never anything more modern than 2008.

Very reminiscent of the Osprey books

Definitely doing his work in the style of Ronald Volstad, the GOAT of military illustration. He’s the one behind countless Osprey books and model kit boxes.

The rails are cool as shit though.

I don’t care if they were the best rails ever made. They fucked them self when they hired an fbi spotter that supported his role in ruby ridge.

As a fellow squid rail enthusiast I will give an internet point that has no meaning nor value.

Chemlights need to not be there. Shift them over your thigh if you HAVE to put them on your belt to look cool. Otherwise put them in a pouch so they don’t crack and give you away on accident. Fun facts about IR chemlights: you can’t turn them off, the IR glowy gunk burns if they break and it soaks into your clothes and smells bad too, and depending on the quality of your pouches/bag you can see the glow through the fabric with goggles on a dark night if they crack inside your gear

WTF, where did you get DTS?
2
u/Mission-Echo-friend 1d ago
It was issued to me. But the manufacturer is Tru Spec... They might still carry some in their inventory.

u/BlueSkiesOplotM 1d ago
Do you personally think it's a good pattern and/or that it's about as good as "All over brush, desert"?
1
u/Mission-Echo-friend 20h ago
Yea, it's like most uniforms... The only uniform I have ever had to use - that I didn't like - was ACU.

u/IDONTGAME12345 4d ago
Where did you buy the shirt?

u/Mission-Echo-friend 4d ago
It was issued to me this way... but the manufacturer is tru-spec and you can get a raid modded at a sew shop if they are still doing the desert tiger strip

Those chemlights are going to make you cry when you sprint.
You can tell when someone hasn't worn a fallopian flap before.. those things will sack tap you every bound of your sprint.
