Canadian Forces Load Bearing Harnesses & Surplus Helmets.

Here's a start.

Basic battle load overseas is 10 mags. New vest only has pouches for 4.

Instead of standard molle, they had to be different with a proprietary attachment system.

the rest is personal opinion, and we all know that on CGN that I will likely be wrong according to someone who read it on the internet somewhere.

UMMM, no... I read on the internet that you are wrong!

Better tell that to your local CANEX who sell scores of cadpat items. Not to mention the companies who make and sell cadpat gear.

not real cadpat... real cadpat has a chemical IR coating. A few vendors are approved to use the real pattern.... but not the treatment.

all real cadpat/aridpat must be shredded before surplus.

as stated all real deal stuff in stores is stolen or a ####up.


Story with the tac vest.... when the pacurment guys opened up the first crates they were suprised to find it not molly.... apparently some nimrod changed the order before retiring to a gouache civvy job. We paid for molly....


I still use my old webbing for hunting... getting a bit long in the tooth though. The only issue with the system is it is easy to overload the pouch retaining clips and loose a pouch.... solution... zap straps

I'm sure there are retired guys with worn gear/clothing who give away some to friends/family and such.
 
Ok just guessing here but I imagine the 3-pouches guarantee is just matching the attachment points for the yoke... what's there is a roll of the dice entirely

Nope.
All combat clothing, regardless of condition, (had to return all my flying togs) will be returned to supply during the release out routine.
But you can keep your dress uniforms if you like.

No, you are wrong. The procurement was correct. When procured, we were supposed to use them in conjunction with ammo clips in separate issued bandilors. The last war, we just got lazy and stop using some of our soldier skills because the enemy had no air sp or tanks.
