    Hi peps!

    Where can I find cammoflage clothes in womens sizes? Do any of the national stores have clothes where I can walk in and try tings on?

    Thanks for the help!

    Try Penneys as they tend to have some combats every now and then.

    Edit--> I got one or two decent pairs from here to be honest. In fact the cam gear I wear to HRTA at the moment came from good old Penneys!

    Sandra if you go into the sites and retailers threads they can help you with what your looking for

    A decent webstore for camo should have options for leg length and waist size.

    I use red-soldier, it does russian style camo patterns but I'm sure there are equivilant stores for other patterns.

    Maybe flecktarn.co.uk do?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,984 ✭✭✭NakedDex


    What camo type are you looking for? The pattern and type will determine what store is best. I've got a list of them here but it's pretty long so if you can narrow it down it might make it less hassle for you.

    Flecktarn.co.uk as mentioned are v.good; check their size charts for more info.

    if your dublin based lass check out army bargin on caple street, has them in store, you can try them on and has colours you wont find most places and there is other army/hiking stores around it. best of luck

    The Irish airsoft stores are all helpful but I'm not sure they specifically have women's stuff in stock; Tony in Eirsoft might get some stuff on order for you if you give him some specifications. Army Bargains can be over-priced for what you get, although the selection isn't too bad. I'm still running about in a pair of Penny's 'combats', and I bought stuff in the clothes shops in Temple Bar in Dublin (beside the Central Bank), which are pretty reasonable. Waterford and Cork have army surplus stores, as far as I know (this all came up in a thread a while ago).

    There's a place in Lucan called ICOA - http://www.icoa.ie/catalog/index.php - who are helpful and have a good selection of boots.

    You really need to see the things and try em on or hold em up to you ideally.
    I reckon.

    Last time I was getting Camo. The Combats that were marked a size too big for
    me were way to small for my big ass and thighs, and some of the American stuffs
    Smallest size could be used to cover a small car or used as a tent.

    I tend to like the Dutch stuff, I Find the quality, fit and comfort of that stuff great.

    Hay Sandra,

    Is this for Airsoft???... cos doubt ya will find anbything original in National stores, heres a good size chart to convert from mens sizes to womens...A girl borrowed my gear to play paintball and it fit fine, im 5.7 10 stone, shes 5.7 10-12 in womens sizes so that gives ya a rough Idea... Ebay is a good source for genuine Mil gear in womens sizes...

    Can't beat DPM!;)

    Sandra, if you find a suitable webiste/shop can you pm me the details because we are in the middle of helping create the first all girls airsoft team and this is most likely an issue that they will run into.

    Thanks!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,213 ✭✭✭peter-pantslez


    sandra fom what i can remember www.ehobbyasia.com have a good list of sizes fro almost anywaist and leg lenght

    have a look sure;)

    Penney's aren't great for girly combats, to be honest. For guys, they have a fairly decent range, but girl's combats all have sparkly butterflies on them. :D

    You might be lucky in Eager Beaver but, if you're a bit of vertically challenged, like me, it's unlikely. Army Bargains charges a bit over the odds, but they've got a good range of shapes and sizes and you can fit 'em on, so I pay for that part of it quite happily.


  • Registered Users Posts: 897 ✭✭✭tonky


    Dunnes had a lightweight girls combats for E10 or 15. They had sparkly jewel things, but they can be removed with pliers :D
    I wear these myself when it's warm out. (Don't tell anyone).

    I know you can't try them on, but there's a pretty good size chart there. Combats are supposed to be baggy, if they're too long blouse the legs or roll up the sleeves.

    And camo bikinis*



    * for water gun games, before some muppet says bikinis are no use for airsoft. May not be worn in the Carribean. Play Safe, whatever your game is. ;)

    I wouldn't say no use. I watched a lad play wearing a pink bikini top at Ground-Zero 2007. He may have been a bit nutty though. :P

    Possibly. Haven't been out to GTAC since the gathering I and it'll be the last likely event I'll get to this year if I do attend now that I can't go to Phoenix-Rising II with the rescheduled dates.

    Your real name isn't Bob, the 46 year old builder is it? :P

    I wouldn't want to make all the other guys envious with my incredible physique if they're also going to have the trauma of bob the builder in a pink bikini inflicted on them. It seems unusually cruel * :pac:


    * except for Ronan; then it's just funny

    What do love, hate, pain, and hilarious-laughter-at-others all have in common?


    6mm :pac:

    Thank you, thank you, I'm here all week doing stand-up! No need to rush for an autograph please folks


    Oh, and Dex? Iceage? You're marked men now for those remarks. There's a 1500 round box mag with 1500 little friends all with your names written all over them. You'll appreciate the threat because it took ages to write names that small. Do you know how hard it is to write on 6mm? :P


    Incidentally I heard no denials of a 46-year old builder called Bob ...
