  • German Woodland flecktarn loadout's, help.

    Hay guys.

    well I'm looking to sort out my first 'full' loadout. I'm not particularly an image copier, i dont tend to feel the need to get EVERYTHING exactly the same as a photo of some german soldier or anything. but that said i'm quite interested in getting myself my first 'propper' loadout. something like imitates or near immitates the real thing.

    now i've no idea what the german army uses in terms of kit (with an exception to the camo patterns and g36's/p8's)

    at the moment i've aquired the following. i'll highlight in green the items i use in my current loadout:

    As a base: All ex-issue.
    *Fleck-tarn shirt
    *flecktarn hooded jacket ex-issue.
    *flecktarn trousers

    Head/Upper: All ex-issue. i have a choice of -
    *flecktarn boonie
    *flecktarn patrol cap
    *flecktarn cold weather hat (with the ear flap things)
    *german helmet cover (i do need a helmet though, as the cover is too small to fit on my issue Mk6)
    *flecktarn full body scrim net (for mouth/neck protection).

    Loadbearing/kit: (please dont kill me for posting links )
    *flecktarn SAAV - RETAILER LINK REMOVED
    *flecktarn leg holster - RETAILER LINK REMOVED
    *Flecktarn leg panel - RETAILER LINK REMOVED

    Other Items: Odd's and Sod's.
    *flecktarn fleece gloves.
    *brit issue boots

    Weaponry:
    *Marui EBB G36k.
    *Glock17 (trying to source a P8)

    that's what i've collected so far, the 'only' gripe i have is i would like to stay away from the german issue webbing as i currently have a set of PLCE to go with my DPM loadout. not any particular loadout per-say. its just plce with dpm camo. i'd also like to stay clear of the flecktarn molle plate-carriers (for example the ones on flecktarn). i already have a WAS Ricas & Ricas compact. and wouldn't really like to splash out on another plate carrier. i'd also like to keep this a plate carrier free loadout somthing i can manouver esily in.

    anything you guys feel would be of help with this loadout? also does anyone have any good pictures of you/mates in their/your flecktarn loadouts i can use for reference?

    if you can suggest something that would help me give it that little edge please let me know. as i've said i would quite like to finish a proper loadout, although with my current item list i know a Real steel based loadout is probably impossible.

    cheers all hints/suggestions/comments (with-in reason :p) welcome.

    If you don't want flecktarn webbing and you're not going for a particular unit then you're there really..

    though i would recommend you change your Brit issue boots as soon as you can.. almost ANYTHING else is more comfortable! (ironically even the German issue boots!)

    i used to run round in full flecktarn kit, i used (and really liked)

    Flecktarn KSK Sniper Smock
    Flecktarn KSK Trousers (with the knee pads)
    UBACS
    set of gortex
    flecktarn ranger plate carrier (if you ever do want one this one is super light and very flexable)
    and a flecktarn boonie

      not sure what German units there are too copy to be honest, i mean i've no doubt they have armored cav, engineers, ect ect but i couldn't tell you what there called or what the differences in equipment are within the German army.

      it may be surprising to some but i have to say my brit issue boots are brilliant wear them when i go to the T.A (obvoisly) and when i work. i have two sets, once broken in there pretty comfortable. that said it does take alot of wear to break them in lol.

      no idea what the KSK is, but i have heard them mentioned. i'm guessing there the German equivalent to marines/spec forces?

                    KSK: Kommando Spezialkräfte as you guessed part of the German special forces. the kit is no different than the rest of the german issue stuff expect it has padding in knees and elbows..

                    google German KSK for some great reference images.

                        A flecki helmet cover will fit most types of PASGT style helmet, i think the BW model is called a shubeth. However it should fit a viper M88 fine. For field use you would want a helmet or boonie, as i think the patrol caps tend to be worn more in garrison. The KSK combat is very different to the regular BW uniform as they wear ripstop kit that is very baggy with lot's of carrying capacity. The closest commercial version in the UK is made by a company called tac gear, their chest rigs and ops vest's would be more accurate and durable than a SAAV and are in use by certain elements of the BW including the SF. Another good company is tasmanian tiger, their kit is very popular with the BW. Boots would be lowas i think and for a few years back then german para boots. Most BW soldiers wear body armour on active ops and the current vest i beleive is the mehler. The reg BW soldiers have been using the IDZ system for a few years now, which is the infantry soldier of the future program. The vest's pop up on EBAY.DE from time to time. The old BW flak vest's are availible ten a penney now a day's. I do a german fallshirmjager kit and if i can help any more feel free to ask and i will try to help.

                          The Real helmet is called the Schuberth Gefechtshelm, there is at least 10-15 on eBay.de every day, usually ranging from £40-80... Can also be purchased from BestProtection.de for about 80EUR plus 10-15 EUR shipping.

                          If you are going for paratrooper kit, the Sprunggefechtshelm is the one to look out for (Also called: Springerhelm, Fallschirmspringerhelm, Gefechtshelm Springende Truppenteile.)

                          But this usually costs from £180-300 on eBay.de, and they pop up every month or so... BestProtection.de sporadically stock them - but keep going off...

                            Could think about a parade helmet. I got one from a well known supplier on Fleabay

                              Not sure if youre after the BW Kevlar Pasgt type or the older Steel M1 shaped helmet?

                              Have a spare Steel helmet with cover and also somewhere have a large sized cover for the Kevlar helmet if any use.
