Bidchart on ebay

They do some good quality stuff, ive skirmished 3 sets. They are by far the cheapest and their shipping costs is dirt cheap.

Granted it takes 2 weeks, I think they are the best.

Flecktarn have a piss poor selection in my opinion, brit dpm or flecktarn : /

Gatling

ehobby do BDU's too.,

Ebaybanned is pretty good and do all the accessories to match but postage can be a little on the slow side from them.

irishlostboy

why not try a proper surplus store and get head to toe, brit kit for about a tenner? add another 20 for head to toe goretex. another 20 on top of that for a plce rig.

Compton

the capel street one is muck. i got a great load of kit in from these guys before christmas.

really happy with them. their webite is crazy to navigate, and its best to order over the phone with them. but worth it to get good kit for pocket money.
we got some of these;

http://www.endicotts.co.uk/product_info.php?cPath=74&products_id=1430
we got a lot more kit than this, but this is great basic kit. order their lowest quality, cos its still savage. the occasional stich needed on the real low grade kit sometimes. still, you will get everything you ever need for less than the price of a pair of combats here.

Tigger

thats a cheap site all right

Compton

Got the BDU sorted! Cheers!

Anybody have suggestions for a nice vest??

Cheers

depends what you need in a vest. the SA vest is liked by some, hated by others. i use the british plce webbing with a bergen sidepouch on the back for my water. costs from about 20 quid. no experience with any other ones though. a big factor will be how many clips you are carrying?

Compton

Will be carrying about 8-10 M4 Mags

ebaybanned pick up a fairly decent molle tac vest ,at good prices too ,good selection to suit most loadouts

Nice one mate. What is the lowest quality stuff like? You say a stitch is needed every now and again and I'd be grand with that. But is the actual material worn out or is it just torn in places?
Thanks again, I know where I'm grabbing my next BDU's.

Damn you and your good advice Gatling! Followed that link of yours and ordered me a CIRA Armour Vest before my Paypal account knew what I was doing! I really need to work on my self-control! :eek:

That site is deffo worth a look-see mupchease, but try and exercise soldierly self-restraint (unlike me!)

Gatling

Glad to help

now where my 3v card

the lowest grade stuff is fine. more worn in than worn out. they wont sell you stuff thats knackered. they check out every piece of kit they sell. they have a very good reputation in the survival/ bushcraft scene. thats where i found them, and we really dont piss about when it comes to kit. we need it to actually work, not just look pretty.

To add to that...
Grade 1 stuff is pretty cheap also if you want to avoid stitching.
PLCE wise grade 2 is fully functional and dirt cheap.

Gran Hermano

I mentioned this on the recommended retailers thread last week
but M&M direct in the UK are stocking and selling the 5.11 tactical
BDU trousers and rain gear at half price at the moment.
This is good quality gear and much better than the'built for airsoft'
gear. Only supplying plain colours but if anyone is looking for black or
green they are ideal.

They also have the boots at GBP 29.
