I wear a steel pot for 'Nam style games. The only real drawback is the horrible ringing that it makes when BB's hit it.

Well, I was lightly joking there BlackHawk. I generally dislike wearing that thing a lot of ex's cause it's pretty annoying on the head after awhile, and some of the foam stuff in mine is broken, so mine is a bit more uncomfortable than others. So ya..... I like the bushcap because it's light, suprisingly keeps your head really warm, and it's cool looking 8).

lol, those are crazy gloves.

Ah well, soldiers always make do with what they have, when new kit does come it's always awesome. I remember it was like Christmas in the armory when the new TV's were in.

This is crazy but is in your army issue......;)

McTaz

Umm,
If you guys are so intent to look like soldiers and wear CF kit, why dont you just go join the army?
Pros: Free stuff! (C7 rifle, CADPAT, MOLLE or webbing, Combat boots, Rucksack,Helicopter and APC rides, License to kill, + much much more!)
Cons: Possible risk of Death (or worse, getting shot in the buttocks!) :???:

Or just pay $1000+ to mimic a soldier
Lol!
Its your choice

(I chose the $1000+)

Shooter, just say stupid sh*t an try to bash people.

First off, you don't own anything the Military issues you.
Also, Canada does not use MOLLE equipment, thats US issue.
You do NOT get a license to kill

lol, I've never seen anyone issued those gloves yet, the ones we got issued are just black, and mine are too big =/.

Anywho, awesome gloves though. Sorta reminds me of the CADPAT boots I saw awhile ago. When I was on course, Diemaco visited our armories to show off their stuff. Along with the weapons was gear. I saw these CADPAT boots and was joking with my friends how we wouldn't have to polish them, then our course officer told us how there is also clear polish, ruined our dreams =(.

Well, what I was gonna ask is if you have those lol, or if anyone here has seen them worn.

Only the regs have those cadpat gloves(an all the other new gloves) right now. I've seen some reservists with the goretex old weather CADPAT gloves though.

You're not missing out on much though, I heard those gloves suck.

Neg, Deersking CADPATgloves have been issued to certain reserve elements, including, IIRC, the QOR (para Coy) and the GGHG, actually i think ASU toronto is issuing them to all units inside of GD armouries.

MikeL: Your right alot of the time and know alot but your retired/out of the reg force now. Therefore your wrong about the gloves:P

Shooter: You don't GET a C7, you can USE the C6,C7, C8, C9. Also, we have NOTHING molle.

This isn't a talk thread so lets post pics of stuff!:) I get some pics of.. Well everything issued I guess, and upload the pics tomorrow.

Some guys in our unit got those CADPAT gloves.

I still have the old black ones... but i'm 1 of 2 people who have a CADPAT bivy bag 8-) Gucci :D

I have a CADPAT bivy bag. They're not that hard to find.
