  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    and does anybody know where to get woodland DPM gore-tex camo thats my favourite


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    Ebaybanned have quite a good range.

    Quality is hit and miss it seems.

    I have two pairs of stuff from them, no rips after plenty of use.

    Then some lads have huge rips after only putting them on.

    Brilliant for the price though.

    Two god places to start.

    A lot depends on the pattern you want. If you just want any old pattern, most airsoft places or army bargains should have them.

    Flecktarn.co.uk are highly recommended, mainly for european camos patterns and OD/Tan/Black tac gear.

    onpatrol.co.uk cam recommended, when they used to have stock in. Now they only appear to have crazy sizes, certainly in multicam.

    Toy Soldier (they have a thread int he retailers section) may also hae what you want, and you're buying Irish, which is always good.

    Army Bargains do DPM gortex was in there on friday and seen some:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,893 ✭✭✭Dread-Lock


    Yeah I really wouldn't recommend army bargains. Their gear isn't the best, they're prices are insane (and not in a good way) and I could say a few things about the owner/a few of his workers that would probably land me an infraction ;).

    I know you can't see the items before you buy them, but I recommend buying online. You can get a full set of BDU's brand new for €30 on eBay. Although sometimes you don't get the best quality on eBay, but at least your paying a reasonable price for it.

    Lot's of people seem to be happy with: http://flecktarn.co.uk/
    And if your looking for a real army surplus store then have a look at: http://www.endicotts.co.uk/

    I don't care! I have no interest in starting anything here!
    I haven't said anything bad about them. And some of them are quite nice to deal with.

    Yea, they wanted 30 quid for a boonie. No offence but i dont like having my b****x ripped out through my wallet

    Usually i buy from surplusandadventure.com, but only in bulk as shipping costs a bit. Also, make sure your items are in stock or they could take a while.

    flecktarn.com are good for delivery and value

    i was up in balbriggan market today a bloke from the north has a army surplus stall there. he has a lot of useful stuff. seen some vests and brit and american woodland BDUs also webbing. check him out its a lot better than being ripped of in dublin with expensive chinese repo crap. the marke is just of the m1. easy to find.


  • Posts: 14,344 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Dunno what you guys wear at all, and I don' tknow if this shop would be at all suitable or usable to any of you, but I buy pants off this guy a fair bit:


    http://stores.shop.ebay.ie/1-STOP-MILITARIA__W0QQ_armrsZ1



    Again, dunno if they'd be of any use to you guys or not, but I like them and thought I'd just throw them out there in case it was of any use to anyone (note: I only wear them for walking about in).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    Hi. Was in army bargains there recently and they have DPM "for-tex". It looks like a cheap version of goretex but dearer. Quality didn't feel good either.

    Why didn't they not just name it fake-tex and be done with it :rolleyes:. Thanks for words of warning Doyler.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    No problem. It was actually a joke.

    Bought a pair of DPM trousers from Army Bargains. The crotch split on their second use and I ended up spending the next few hours in Red Barn with my nadgers in the breeze. You're better off going with genuine army surplus rather than expensive knockoffs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 215 ✭✭CapedCrusader


    In case it helps anyone, the following eBay store has a good range of authentic standard issue DPM. Reasonably priced and a large range of sizes:

    Since my 'Nadgers in the Wind' incident, I purchased from Flecktarn.co.uk. Great service and top quality kit!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,664 ✭✭✭Doyler92


    Anybody else know now where to get goretex?
