Ahh but for ERT wouldn't the fading be accurate according to the photograph reference? :D

What vests and gear seems most popular with ERT anyway? Brand name or style-wise, not 'some flak vest' would be best. Thanks.

This is the standard. I honestly don't know. Whenever Ive seen them they're pretty low key.

Well, I have to stand corrected. I had a couple of guys from the Drumheller ERT walk in the other day, decked out head to toe in MC togs, right down to the shoulder flashes. Disappointingly, the vests, holster and boots were still black.

After talking with one of the guys from Calgary ERT, he says his whole team is decked out with MC, although he said they prefer MARPAT.

I really enjoyed those two clips above. I actually took Arrest procedures and control from SSGT Sharkey. Coolest guy ever. A real man's man.

Oh hey, it's Dick Fadden!

Good eye! He seems pretty casual and observant there.

Yeah he was the papa spy.
