I found my boots at the local "Surplus" store (if you can call it that). Ironically enough, I use them everyday for work, steel toes, they're the "Tactical" model by Kodiak. Good boots, but be forewarned, they REALLY need to be broken in, and don't tie them up too tight (like I did for the whole first day I wore them). :banghead:

Some good all-round boots are the Naval Combat Boots (Terra Mercenaries). They're Goretex with Thinsulate lining, full leather outer, steel toes and thick soles (with the old-style jagged pattern).
I myself use the Prospector combat boots. Same as above, just without the steel-toe and they've got a deep-groved sole.

CP Gear

Alot of Canadian soldier use this if they need kit fast. Really cool stuff in here.

Cp gear dose have a few qualities issues thought But IMO for airsoft their good enough, it’s not really has if you life is depending on your gear.

Poking through this Canadian Forces wiki reveals a lot of information:

Looking for CADPAT Boonies - eBay? Not too many Canadian Retailers actually sell them. I assume that Seals Action Gear and DropZone make their own versions, not 'issue'?

I have no idea about anything CADPAT, and I assumed that by now it would be a bit easier to obtain.

to be honest.. all Canadian Forces equipment are s*!t.. haha.. however they are improving.. the reason i say that is because it's all about safety measures

Now why would you want official CF gear anyways?

Also, something to add into the rucksack category would be a British issue PLCE bergen. I nearly grabbed a Reg force blokes bag by mistake on the bus. And into the LBE category would be the Arktis 1601 Battlevest in OD.

actually i think i saw a cadpat boonie on CPgear now so they should be easier to obtain now

i can finally get rid of my OD boonie and have one that matches my bdu's

...except surplus stores are hit and miss some have good stuff like that dude armyissue who sells pants others wont have so much as a decent pair of boots let alone have clue one what they are selling

prime example:
local surplus in my area advertises parade boots as combat boots

with the exception of a key few places i would not trust surplus stores

Well actually if the guy doesn't know what he's selling you may be able to get a real steal there. He might not know he's selling something awesome for pennies.
