Correct me if im wrong, but are the stalker tdus you have the very same ones I linked and are referred to as "SOCOM"? That pattern looks digital in the pictures.

Re: The Multicam issue... [Longish Read!]

Nope, mine are the multicam ones I rang up and ordered

Socom camo is based on the new 'AOR2' stuff being considered by USMC I believe.

a good source of info is multicamaddict.com
i would recomend OPS for the trouser and BDU, and a tan vest/plate carrier with any make of official crye pouches attached, oakley si assault gloves or hatch operators,the ones with hard knuckles, also oakley assault boots in tan

Re: The Multicam issue... [Longish Read!]

and a blast belt,again OPS have a decent one, for your whole setup you are looking to pay maybe £300 probably a lot more, oh yeah are you thinking about wearing a helmet

Re: The Multicam issue... [Longish Read!]

i'm putting together a multicam kit at the moment, and speaking from experience, if you want it to be good quality, DON'T get copy stuff.
i just bought a copy multicam kit from a shop here in hk that specialises in cheap Chinese stuff for the equivalent of about 12 gbp. it looks fine, but one of the pockets ripped straight away. it's stitched wrong in places and feels very fragile.
i'm not all that arsed to be honest. it will do me for now until i have the balls to buy something expensive, and i have a strange apathetic attitude toward my own stuff - but i can imagine others getting irate about bad quality.
be careful!

Just an update, the links provided in the OP have been removed due to the linking agreement, sorry chaps I guess even trying to mask them in a friendly manner didn't cut it. As far as my loadout goes, I am purely looking for information on clothing, thanks for the concern tho.

Re: The Multicam issue... [Longish Read!]

Ops does seem the way to go, but I am on a slight budget so its quite intimidating to know that the trousers cost £35 less than my gun :S

Re: The Multicam issue... [Longish Read!]

I'll echo what Dave said, the stalker TDU sets AMAZING! I have a set of OPS truosers, and the stalker ones win hands down! they are like the swiss Army knife of combats! they have everything, and are absolutely bomb proof, the 1000d multicam cord patches on the wear points are genius!

Give him a ring, he may have "one last set" knocking about, since the cease and desist order came in! I grabbed a full set for pittance, compared to the ops prices, and its original, dont know of anyone else whos got a set of the multicam tdus other than Dave tbh!

Re: The Multicam issue... [Longish Read!]

I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the stalkers, but if either of you have any pics of the "multicam" ones, please share. I can see on their site what the gist of the trousers look like but seeing them in multicam will help, for example, on the "socom" trousers, there are tan patches over the knees, is this the same on the multicam ones?
