PCU level 5 style jacket

[middo85]

I'm after something which looks like a PCU level 5 jacket in that grey colour the real ones come in,

I know some of the far east websites sell them but they are all sold out,

It doesn't have to be waterproof and I don't want to spend a fortune, any ideas?

You can get a chinese knockoff PCU L5 set from a certain online retailer that was banned from ebay. Only in a set though, no individual jacket.

Re: PCU level 5 style jacket

Yeah but all the Asian sites that sell replicas are out of stock,

One thing I've noticed is all the replicas look a lot lighter in colour than the real ones, is this the case or just lighting on pictures?

I don't mind if it's a cheap knock off, won't be using it often enough to spend a lot on it

It's Medium. But I'm 5"11 and 40inch chest so should work

If you become interested in the Level 5 jacket and/or trousers in other colors and patterns, Helikon makes theirs in ACU, Coyote, OD, Black, Multicam (Camogrom), Vegetato, Flektarn, Polish Desert, Polish Woodland, and MARPAT Desert.

I just ordered a set of the new TMC replicas that were released yesterday. I'll let you know what they're like if you're still looking once I get them. Only cost £50 so no big loss if they're rubbish.

Re: PCU level 5 style jacket

Yeah RH, let me know.

Found the TMC set, like all the replicas they seem a very light grey, is that the same as the real ones?

Re: PCU level 5 style jacket

Depends on the lighting when the picture was taken. I don't find pictures (generally) convey colors such as CB, RG etc very well. Though I have seen pics where the real PCUs look quite light:

Re: PCU level 5 style jacket

Thanks for the pics, amazing the difference lighting makes.

Let me know what the TMC set is like

Re: PCU level 5 style jacket

These finally arrived after a long wait. They aren't as light as they looked in the picture but they are a bit shiny sort of plasticky. They are pretty comfy, the sleeves are quite short and so are the trouser legs so if you have long arms etc definitely get the large. The shiny-ness is the only let down factor imo, other than that I'm happy for the price. Just a quick update.

Cool, glad they are ok as temptation got the better of me and i ordered a set last week, did go for the large

Apparently the 'shine' goes away after a couple of washes & a bit of news.
