US Marine Corps loadout help

Re: US Marine Corps loadout help

Everybody knows it's not a pasgt...that was stated way up thread...just that the actual helmet is not easy to come by according to the OP. Either way...it's all swings and roundabouts really

Yeah one guy said it and I missed it, not the first time something has been restated. Thanks for that wonderful contribution to the thread. Really helpful and productive.

Overall, PASGTs and LWH look the same, all you would need to do is change the PASGT chin strap for an LWH harness.

Re: US Marine Corps loadout help

best bet is to buy a pasgt helmet then buy lwh helmet straps to replace the craptastic pasgt ones you can pick em up on the bay for not much

Re: US Marine Corps loadout help

I might go for a pagst seeing as LWH replicas aren't easy to come by

[oliver dowinton]

Re: US Marine Corps loadout help

not a PAGST or MICH it is a LWH (light weight helmet) USMC only get issued it.

Oops pardon my mistake then,but a quick look at google and the LWH looks very similar to the PASGT so I think you could get away with using a PASGT.

Looks like a PASGT in that pic.

Woodland MARPAT trousers and field jacket. A MOLLE vest in tan. Some tan pouches and a helmet (PASGT or MICH don't know exactly which one they currently use) and woodland MARPAT cover. Ballistic goggles, tactical gloves and knee pads. And some boots, of course!
There you go!
