so i went to hrta today.............

romperstomper

met some nice folks, all seemed friendly.

However,

I was badly underdressed as I don't own any field clothes.

Where can I get some cheapish combats and some web gear to hold a pistol and some mags?

thanks guys

MIA has some camo and webbing too if you wanna go in and have a look/feel before you buy, I'm not sure about prices and I dunno about whether you'd actually be able to try stuff on, but it's there on the racks.

romperstomper

can't believe there is no cheapo store. where do ppl buy when they want to go camping etc? surely not everyone has hundreds to spend on expensive stuff from the great outdoors?

i'm only looking for combats and a jacket with pockets!

Those camping/surplus stores were cheap once - I remember when stuff there was genuine second-hand dyed scruffy army surplus. Don't think it's the case any more, though.

I know the feeling about being under-dressed at HRTA, on my first visit I turned up with my scruffy clothes but the regulars all had webbing, vests and about 20 AEGs each! I almost felt naked. Fixed that this morning though, lots of shiny new gear from MIA.

boots the the most important thing, ather than that theres not a lot of difference in wearing proper camo to wearing penneys combats.,

romperstomper

are pennys combats an option? didn't realise they did them. would they have cheapy camo jackets with pockets too?

Ger the man

Dunnes in the blanch centre are selling army style jackets both green and camo, they look decent enough.

penguin-o7

http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/ i find is one of the best sites for getting camo if your stuck for cash buy used stuff. i bought a used shirt and it looks brand new. as for vests and holsters go with Eirsoft

romperstomper

might try dunnes/pennys.would really like to try stuff on first. not a huge selection of holsters etc on eirsoft IMO

Fallschirmjager

i have used the place boston mentioned and they have a good selection. i would agree with vtec tho, boots first and its worth getting a good pair.

nothing worse then wet feet to make you feel fed up...as it happens there was a lot of thread discussion on this before so if you do a search back you will find all the details...

fairy house usually sells sum cheapo combats + jackets dont know about trying them on though

romperstomper

correct about the boots, i have an old pair of caterpillars that i've always used when hiking and they should do me grand. just wanted to pick something up local and cheap so wasn't waiting for shipping and could bring it back if it didn't fit correctly etc.

i remember buying jacket & trousers for £20 as a teenager before i went camping, can't believe that things are even more mass produced and available in dublin yet there aren't too many places to go

NakedDex

Good boots. Comfortable webbing. Everything after that is secondary and only for the look. MIA have a series of camos in there that you can have a toucy-feely of, as well as vests.

If you're gonna be playing in HRTA a lot, camo isn't very effective unless you're going to be in the lane a lot sniping and such, so pick out something you like the look of rather than something thats going to be insanely effective in woodland (which is only of use in Gorse hill or G-tac). The only thing most people in hrta wearing camo will blend in with is into a group of people wearing the same camo.

If you want the best military equipment in the world at the best price check out Red Soldier.

have you been reading this thread? i want cheap as chips from someone local

I bought camo in a shop in swords d2 I think it was. Cost 20quid and was grand.
A recently discovered option (not by me sadly) is multicam style. Guyinies or whatever way you spell it, has cheap camo range which you would find hard to distinguish from real multicam patterns. I think it has 4 colors rather than 5. Looks great even next to the real stuff.

Fixed.

romperstomper

was that me being insane?

I.A.S. Ltd.

I can vouch for http://www.Flecktarn.co.uk. You'd get a set of camo there and delivered EASILY for €50. My Danish gear was like €110 for two sets delivered.

HI all,

Can anyone suggest a good supplier of multicam??

I'd prefer the real deal but would have a lookat the cheapos too!?

Masada

MIA have multicam vests, not sure about the rest of the uniform, eirsoft is getting a load of it in too,
probably the best place to get it would be www.ebaybanned.com postage is included in the price there so what ya see is what ya pay.,

c-90

try www.flecktarn.co.uk

They don't do multicam afaik.
I got mine from ebaybanned, seems to be fairly good quality and cheap enough.

If you want the real deal though, be prepared to pay through the nose, its very expensive.
