Or even better would be a MARPAT Desert vest or webbing.

Oh, and even better better would be if it's less than $80 or so :D

Brigade Quartermasters (www.actiongear.com) carries tan webgear. They also carry desert BDU's. Web gear sorta overpriced, but new.

Ok, found some decent stuff on actiongear. I looked at eBay but didn't really see what I'm looking for (as far as what's up at the moment at least).

thanks

If you want Molle Compatible gear right now in 3 color desert check ebay use "Molle Desert" as your search.

Some one has pieced out a complete Rack Set in 3 color desert.

There is also Alice Gear in Tan that is cheap but it's 3rd party made and now Gov issue alice gear.

Pretty much all the vendors either sell tan, 3 color desert or coyote brown (which can be used with desert or woodland)

just check out the black hawk sight. a lot of their vests are MOLLE/SPEAR, compatible. but they are a bit pricey. go with whatever you think would work for you.

Ingenious, and even more so, It looks good too! hmm maybe I'll do that with one of my old LBV's.

I just got one of these vest in tri color desert camo and it has worked well for me.

Here is my review of the above item:

Additionally here is an AO thread about this vest:

So far, I really like this vest. I have had no problems with how it fit, it is versatile, and it looks good. Give it a try.

I was gonna try to go all US military surplus for authenticity, but on the other hand $40 is hard to beat!

hey D_man, sweet setup. one question though, did you purposly put the SF patch on your right arm, or is the picture backwards? just wondering, because the SF patch goes on the left shoulder, and im sure you know that, or is you UNRRF patch over there?

Team patch on the left, cause thats where it should go ;)

Right arm pocket has a big patch of velco, which I have an assortment of patches to slap on there. Just going along with the SF thing :cool:

P.S. - Before anyone starts flamming me for wearing the SF patch, cool down, its just for the pic, I never wear it in a game.

Yeah, I noticed the sleeve pockets at OPSH, I customed up my woodland shirt, which I didn't use there, but its not nearly as nice.

Oh yeah, you should send those pics to specwargear, they look very professional. Like you popped off of a blackhawk package.

To bad I had to take pics of me assaulting my basement room :( But at least the camo is right for the environment :cool:

Maybe someone with some skills could photoshop me into Afganistan or Iraq? ;)

I'm shocked! I thought it was common knowledge that we had several thousand tons of Afghanistan airdropped into a certain section of Eastlake.. Real estate there is dirt cheap..

Okay, that was bad.. I admit it..
