That's why you don't put the important shit you would need to access quietly during a night op in your arm pockets.

Sexy Boots, These are supposed to be the latest stuff for A-Stan on Canadian Stores Shelves


Tactcool Velcro is of great concern it may give away your position as your Bison throws a 3km Rooster tail in the desert. Or right after the Section fires its first 1000rd volley.
The new uniform is designed for the army, not Ninjas.
The benifits of the velcro out weigh the Ninja button system.
Dude I sell Pants, if your Op requires uber Stealthy then Solid metal Gear Snake shit go fkn buy it at the Ninja store, this is an Army Uniform.

Those are the right boots, they come dark brown and yet after a month of wearing them in the desert they turn out much brighter.

That ECU top looks like quite an improvement on the ICU unveiled a while back, I'm actually excited for these new uniforms.

In all honesty they should just adopt the DZ Tactical Ops set, pant and shirt. It seems to do just about everything right.

I. Hate. Velcro.

Seems like regular mortals can't buy it.. not listed on their online store.

One of my Tp Sgt's couldn't get his old combats exchanged at Base Clothing because they didn't have his size. Apparently they will or have already stopped production of the current-style combats. Anybody have any similar experiences.

Yep, have been out of stock here in Kingston for my pants for over a year - my combats are starting to get a little "salty" for my tastes.

Going to Petawawa end of month, will try @ their clothing stores to exchange two of my three sets. They should have better stock.

At CANSEC saw a shit tonne of guys in the brown boots but didn't notice their uniforms. Also saw a CJIRU guy in the new urban disruptive deal.

Well airforce will get the new shit last. And we can't get the old shit anymore.

Gonna be a raggedy ass military by 2013. Lol

They'll always say "Air Force will get last", but it's been my experience that they somehow get all the Gucci stuff early. Hell, when we were first being issued CADPAT (when I was in) we were one of the last Regiments to get it AND IT WAS MADE IN WINNIPEG!!

Then again, I griped because I had just been issued brand new OD pants three weeks before and had just got them broken in LOL.

I do believe the airforce designed the new cadpat uniform. So it was ours first :P

SOL unless you come in size big fucker or small child.

Rain gear was the same story - while we were wearing good ole tarps to the field, the airforce guys would strut around in brand new cadpat rain suit, showing off its effectiveness inside the building. The chain of events will probably repeat itself with new combats: air force - army - airsofters/paintballers - reserves.
