Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
I tailor my loadout to each skirmish. For my last one (Gas & Spring at The Mall) I wore a Rhodesian Recon Vest. I had my pistol in a serpa on my chest, a utility pouch to keep my wallet, phone and keys in, a 12-shell shotgun pouch, a double pistol pouch, dump pouch on my waist and some grenade pouches.
Most of that I could quite easily transfer on to a molle belt, but I prefer the light protection from close range hits.

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
i wear MBSS now but always used to wear real armour to games with a chest rig over the top. the honest truth is that i'm still playing soldiers with my friends in a field/woodland. not much has changed in the past 14 years apart from having money to pay for tac gear lol

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
On a normal day, Lidl wicking base layer and socks (long sleeve in winter, sleeveless in summer), Helikon polish woodland trousers and shirt, Brit issue cold weather boots, Shemag or skrim on my neck, polish patrol cap or green bandanna on my skull, Gill sailing gloves (€7.50 on sale, Size junior large, I have girls hands), Brit issued chest rig or od plate carrier if I have to carry more gear.

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
Unit impression at the minute, undefined era Navy SEAL (wearing AOR-2 replica but carrying a Mk23, so not quite true to life haha).
So got Claw Gear SOCOM trousers and shirt (which has a detachable hood so waterproof, yay!)
RRV with backpack and hydration pouch, 2 double M4 mag pouches and a borrowed dump pouch until I can get one in the right colour lol
Looking to build towards an all out minimum 36 hour milsim kit in US style (so my bergen is pretty useless) because thats what I want to do, probably wouldn't bring it all to a regular skirmish though haha.
Really could do with a lid as well haha.

Will probably change when I buy a pistol - Might be inclined to buy a Plate Carrier to facilitate the carrying of it and magazines.
Have done exactly this now, bought an FSBE in OD and a RICAS Compact in Tan, can't wait to try the RICAS out this weekend at The Mall.

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
I used to rock out in full molle vest, helmet, knee pads 1000 pouches and all that but now i just dont see the point and go out nice and light.. chest rig blackhawk kharki trousers, cap and shirt or softshell of some shape or form depends on weather, more of a PMC style loadout, now dont get me wrong i do still appreciate the guys wearing all the kit and going for a unit impression its just not for me anymore!

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
Meindl Desert Fox boots
DPM trouser
DPM UBACS
Coyote plate carrier w. mags/pyros etc
ESS V12s
Shemagh (if it's not too hot)
Might add some sort of hat at some point.
But basically everything I need and nothing I don't.

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
At the moment this is my full loadout breakdown...
WAS Mc battlebelt
2x 2 mag shingles
1x 3 mag shingle
WAS Mc dump pouch
TAS Mc Lefty holster (im right handed though...)
Helikon Mc Trousers
Normal long sleeved brown top
Magnum boots (Unsure of what model)
ESS V 2.4
KJW Metal M92F
TM 32Rnd Long mag
4 Standard M92F Mags
G&G rush
Comp m2 Aimpoint
MS2 sling - brilliant for chucking it on my back.
8 75Rnd Stanags
1 360Rnd Stanag
What im going to add in the next few days
Mechanix Mpac gloves
Blackhawk v2 kneepads (Yes im a girl when i kneel on gravel)
Ultrafire Torch - unsure what model
WAS tanned cap
WAS Dropleg holster and mag pouches
WAS Dropleg dump pouch
DD MK18 RIS, Noveske 18" outer (For the m4)
And I should be done. Although I do want some nipple protection, it bloody kills getting shot point blank in the nipple, its the only real reason I want a chest rig. A lightweight one obviously, the 901 warrior.
Its very lightweight when you compare it to those people wearing full ciras vests, helmets, comms, daypacks, UBACS and Full BDU's, GPS, GoPro, watch, compass, mess tins, pointless outdated medical supplies, facepaint, colouring pens, tin openers, survival kits, tents, xbox controllers, Docking stations with iPods (somoeone had a docking station hanging on his RICAS and was playing some motivating music, very enjoyable) insta-coffe and polystyrene cups and a paint brush.. <- (Im guilty of this) blow up dolls <- yes ive seen it.

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
What i tend to do is have three setups that can be worn simultaneously same idea as First, Second and Third line gear. some people get P**** about airsoft and using military terms but this is the best way for me to describe
My First Line is a Templar Assault Systems molle belt with a couple of mag pouches and a 5.11 large utillity pouch.
My Second Line is my FLYEE m4 chest rig, this holds 4 AR mags ( can also accommodate 7.62 ak and SR25 ) and 4 pistol mags as well as either two radios or two water bottles of either BBS or funnily enough water.
my third line which i have never had to use yet because i dont play long enough games is a coyote rucksack that fits in the stuff i need for a longer game food more BBs water binos and even more mags in case i run dry in a firefight etc...
most of my gear is either bought form reading reviews made by airsofters and operators or because nobody has tried the stuff i see
hope this helps.

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
With me I varies from game to game and what te conditions are like.
Sometime is will just be just a t-shirt with my A-TACS and mags in pockets were in others full on chest rig with back plate, cargo pack, shotgun on back.
For the future I'm lanning on getting a bet rig to go either by itself for ligtweightness or to be combined with my chest rig. Also when I finally complete my plan of getting a M249 I'm sure it will all start to weigh a bit more but thats not that much of a concern if it weighs a lot as I then count it as a work out :p

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
Went for other.
Mainly because although I wear a helmet and seemingly loads of kit including a back pack, the backpack is mainly empty except for a hydration pouch and maybe some additional grenades. I have a chest rig for my mags, grenades and loads of spare bbs and reloader, so it isn't light and simple, it isn't a 3 day kit with cooking gear and stuff and it isn't a unit impression either. I basically wear and take what is need for that game/session of games.

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
I went light and simple, I have a mix of either DDPM, DPM, a black UBACS and on the head a cap, a jungle hat or a FAST Helmet.
For kit its either a DDPM Molle vest and pouches, a DPM Artkis chest rig or just ammo in my jacket if taking the L96 out.
Have also been known to go out with the MP5 and a drop leg mag pouch.
It all gets a bit mix and match at times, but hey it works for me (old skool scruffy DPM loadout as my team mates have said lol)

Re: Skirmish Wear - How do you do it?
I am a geardo of the highest order and tailor my kit to the game i am playing.
I have a belt kit with 6 x vietnam size 60 round mags and a thigh mounted pistol for crawling through the grass and staying hidden days.
I have a full assault waist coat to carry up to 8 full size 120rd mid caps, 3 BFGs / smoke / combination and up to 10 Mk5s along with a pistol and up to 4 mags for the longer medic rule applies games or the longer milsim type days.
I also have a mag clamp and some pockets for the fast and furious games.
I have never played a game where it was necessary to carry a daysack of equipment in play - have used one as a drop off at re-gen points to avoid a slog back to the safe zone though.
Basically i can test and adjust and by lunchtime i am well into the flow of the day at any given site i visit.
