Special Forces loadout

[Heath]

Hey all. Im in the provess of making a US styles special forces loadout. Im not too fussed about its being 100% accurate, but i wouldnt mind some pointers.

Currently i have Marpat trousers, a Flyye WSH chest rig, a cheap brown fleece top, and a PASGT helmet. however, im looking to change the helmet. I have been looking at MICH and IBH helmets, but not sure which to get. If anybody has any other options, let me know.

Cheers,

Heath.

Don't get an IBH they're hardly used anymore, and even when they were, they were used in such limited quantities and only by SEALs... Probably because only around 500 were ever made. Helmet-wise it depends what unit you want to emulate i.e. SEALs (SEa Air Land [Teams]), CAG (Combat Applications Group (Delta Force)) go for a MICH 2001, Green Berets (USSF), MARSOC (Marine Special Operations Command), SEALS, CAG go for a MICH 2000 or CAG (and I think USAF CCTs (Combat Controllers)) go for a MICH 2002, USAF PJs (Pararescue Jumpers) Protec Alpha cuts seem quite common atm but they wear all manner of helmets. However, a 2000 is your best bet as every unit wears/has worn them at some point. Just my two cents.
Your WSH rig is flyye's Weesatch, in which case I would go after a PJ look as they're the only unit that I am 90+% sure that wears Weesatches, you'd want to get yourself some multicam and a PACA to wear underneath. Get some alta kneepads, helmet of choice (other than an IBH) and velcro it up, paint it etc., some commercial hiking boots like merrels or aslos and with that you'd have the base look. You'd still have a long way to go but it'd be recognisably PJ.
Other than that look in the USSF thread that Sid posted and find something you like and try and copy it. If you need a hand shoot me a PM and I'd be more than happy to help.

Don't worry about it mate,


I just proved myself wrong, Force Recon also use Weesatches and since you've got MARPAT already... that might be a good place to start!
