    I'm changing over to a French "CE" cam loadout, and not bothered about keeping my ACU loadout, so it's up for grabs: everything you need for a modern/recent US-style loadout, except the AEG!

    Condition
    Except for the ACU elbow pads (skirmished once for half an hour!), everything else has been skirmished about 5 times max.

    Everything is in excellent well looked-after condition (no tears/rips/etc.) and the trousers + shirt will of course come washed/dried/ironed before changing hands.


    prices of what's left now include P&P (if P&P needed)

    Tac vest (fits all) - €40
    Knee+elbow pads - €25
    Boonie (M) - €10
    Seals 'Punisher' unit patch - €15


    The load includes

    ACU field shirt (Medium Regular)
    'proper' issue in ripstop, from label: NATO size: 7080/9404 - Height: 67 to 71 inches -Chest: 37 to 41 inches
    with velcro-fastening mandarin collar
    chest nametag velcro area (left breast)
    and on each side-
    * shoulder pocket (fastens with velcro)
    * 'side' pockets (about rib level)

    ACU trousers (Medium Regular)
    'proper' issue in ripstop, from label: NATO size: 7583/7989 - Inseam: 29 1/2 to 32 1/2 inches - Waist: 31 to 35 inches
    and on each side-
    *thigh 'outer' pocket (fastens with velcro)
    * ankle 'outer' pocket (fastens with velcro)

    ACU Boonie hat (Medium Size)
    'proper' issue in ripstop, sized M on label.
    adjustable lanyard with tightening "pincher" (can't easily be seen in pic but it's there alright)

    (Precision: shirt, tousers and boonie hat were bought in UK from a Navy/Army Store, not from eHobby or the like)

    ACU elbow pads
    (one size fits all - 2x elasticated velcro straps)
    machine-washable

    ACU knee pads
    (one size fits all - 2x elasticated velcro straps)
    machine-washable

    Tan/ACU MOLLE assault vest (TRC/Viper copy)
    * one size fits all (zipper and 2x adjustable snap buckles, both sides have adjustable straps, to accomodate any girth/build)
    * rest of vest (the 'base structure', if you want) is in a dark tan cordura Nylon
    * 1 large/wide velcro strip + 2 MOLLE strips on back + heavy duty lifting handle
    * sniper shoulder (right)
    * snap-studded belt loops (accomodates heavy duty belts comfortably, I'm wearing a 2" black one in pic)
    Pouches (all in ACU)
    * 6 Stanag-sized mag pouches (3 either side),
    * 1 radio pouch (left shoulder)
    * 1 general purpose pouch (right breast)
    * 3x (shotgun shell or pen) pouches (left breast)
    * Buckle and strap on each shoulder

    All of the above in ACU in exact matching tone (none of that cheap 'bright ACU' / 'mismatched color tones' stuff).

    Asking €100, Paypal or €s, P&P should be about €10 max (vest is heavy), although I'll weigh + calculate exact P&P prior to sale.

    What height are you Ambro?
    (Sizing reasons ;))


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    1.75m, and everything fits just right ('dunno about imperial equivalent, work it out ;))

    I'll post the exact garment sizes tonight, at the same time as the extra pics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,656 ✭✭✭deepimpact


    We're in metric now (I am at least :p)
    Definitely won't fit me, I'm 1.92m....unless I want to look insanely rediculous ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    Another great deal :D

    That I cant buy.... feck.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,656 ✭✭✭deepimpact


    Actually, this could fit me (thanks to a US Army sizing chart)
    I'll place an interest in this, but if there is anyone who wants this they can go ahead of me until the full sizing is up


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    Updated with -
    * sizes, all info taken from actual labels (imperial - it's Yank garments, Gents, " an'they don't do no mayytric" :D)
    * pics of the loadout and the pads

    Gatling, offer noted with thanks and you'll get a friendly reminder/first dibs if it's still FS by then but, if the asking is met earlier, I'd have to take it as I need to order my new loadout with the proceeds (... and I'm not the patient type ;)).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭zero19

    If kd doesn't take the vest (I doubt he won't), I'll offer the same
    I've got some ACU on the way


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    Keith (kdouglas) collected the tacvest last night, with much thanks :)
    Graham (Gatling) collected the BDU at lunchtime, with much thanks :)

    What's left (pics in OP have gone for some reason :confused:) -

    SANY0007-1.jpg (patch - €10)
    SANY0010.jpg (pads - €25)

    I now also have a pair of French CE F2 trousers available, delivered yesterday but size error, way too small for me (76cm waist/Regular leg, so that'll be a size 28 US):

    170D20022007103432.jpg

    It's in very good condition and genuine army issue, not knock-off/imitation. €20


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,994 ✭✭✭ambro25


    Can a Mod please close this?

    There's apparently no more interest and I can't edit the OP with what's left, what I've added, what I've got to add etc. So, going to start a new thread shortly with all of that and more stuff (charger, battery, M4 CQB sling stock adapters etc.), looking for swapsies instead.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,050 ✭✭✭sci-ops


    Ambro, if it's not too late, I'll offer €30 for the pads and boonie.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,810 ✭✭✭✭Witcher
