Well I though I'll post some more pictures...

A little walk in Quebec City's downtown with my Dave's MC trousers

Dave's MC Shirt, trousers and Watson Shock glove
I must say that I really like those gloves.

Real Canadian Ballistic helmet with MC cover.

Dave's MC shirt

MC Highspeed Gears cap, Nametag and blood patch

MC Nametag on my other MC Shirt from HK

MC Helmet cover with professional 3 sided embroidement

I found out that Dave's stuff are really good, but many details are left over. And, like it or not... the stuff I received from Hong-Kong is top notch for the price. I was affraid at first... but that I was surprised by the delivery time and the quality of the BDU.

And i'm still surprised how MC works in urban/semi-urban environment.

Anyway, that's it for now... enjoy

Please elaborate.... I've heard people post that its not even proper BDU-type material. Can you clarify whether or not its proper NyCo or PolyCotton material?

Thanks.

You guys might also find this US Army report interesting: its the trials that Multicam took part in.

JKT1, the material is Twill Nylon50/Cotton50 for Dave's and for HK. I spent a lot of time, from this spring to now, under snowy mud or rain... washed them in rivers, let them dry on a field string... With propper care, they do not fade, shrink, wrinkle... They are very stain resistant. Like I said before... I'm very surprised.

You should see the comments that my friends at the r22r did when they saw my MC gears... "Why we don't have this stuff!" The official CND Cadpat uniform fade very fast. I'll try go get some picture from my friend just to show you the differences.

IMO, there is 4 important things in a BDU,

1-The cut (Pocket placement, velcro closing...)
2-The material
3-The pattern
4-The use (Does your life depend on it, or are you a weekend warrior)

The official CND BDU is still with the 60's cut, only with Cadpat pattern with a few minors ajustments. I prefer Gen. III (US BDU/Buttons and sleeve pocket) or Gen IV (Like the actual US ACU or Crye) cutting.

A material with a lot of nylon (60%+) will dry out fast but the colors will fade faster too.

As for me, who use it on a daily basis, I prefer the Twill 50/50.

Merci beaucoup INVISO. :cheers:

We had a discussion about these replica MC uniforms over on militaryphotos.net, and the majority of feedback was that they suck. I guess those guys had experience with an earlier version, or from a different source. Just to be absolutely sure, can you post a link to the source of your HK MC BDUs? Thanks.

The price for AEG's are incredible, too bad we can get them through here in Canada. The price of the Multicam BDU are the same as those on ebay or the others stores I saw (Item + shipping). Good deal Thou.

Spitfire · June 19th, 2006, 17:11

yeah, its pretty cheap 8)

Jackals · June 20th, 2006, 10:51

I got a BDU top from HK in the ACU style. Here are some of the pics.

It actually seems to be pretty decent quality for the price.

Ok I think they are over doing it with the MultiCam.

Well, they call it "airsoftpat" for a reason.

Hype something enough, some airsofter will but it thinking it's the greatest thing EVER. I've kicked ass in a pair of 3-color pants and a t-shirt. Multicam just makes you look like an airsofter...

CDN_Stalker · September 29th, 2007, 19:46

Or an employee of Crye. Seen numerous issues of SWAT magazine where guys are taking training courses wearing full Multicam and Crye gear, ARs are MC as well, and half I've seen are Crye employees.

And, at least the MC pattern isn't found at Walmart (unlike WalMarPat). Lol, camo comment tennis!!!!

TokyoSeven · September 29th, 2007, 20:27

Im rather fond of it, I really like the crye style set up top and pants with the built in knee and elbo pads.
Albiet tough to find, you really gotta put the pretty penny out there sometimes if you want the real deal.
Also I sorta wishes they made multicam underwear. Id so wear it.
