Thanks Crevette!
I must admit I went with the older gear because it was easier to get hold of (and cheaper) I would LOVE to get a set of the new equipment.
I saw some soldiers at Toulouse airport wearing pretty much the same gear as I am wearing in the photos in Febuary when I was working in France (there was a military surplus store down the road from where I worked in Tarbes), would they be some sort of internal Army/reserve/militia?
I wouldn't mind getting hold of a FAMAS rail system too....
