Finding British DPM and web gear

Post by rationtin440 » Mon Oct 18, 2010 1:10 pm

I'm trying to find British DPM uniforms and web gear but none of the surplus stores in my area carry it. I'm a bit hesitant to go to ebay because you never know what you will wind up getting. Does anyone know of any websites which sell the stuff for decent and reasonable prices? I would prefer U.S. sites due to shipping but I'm flexible. Thanks :)

Thanks for the offer norge! What would you want to trade the vest for? I'm not sure how the British sizes compare with ours, I know I take the equivalent of a 40 waist in DPM pants and 2xl on jacket :oops: :shock: but not sure the sizing for the vest. I'll also have to check on the laws regarding shipping of body armor, our laws are pretty ridiculous and I don't want to get either of us in trouble. So I'll get back with you on that.

norge, I just saw my reply to you and I hope you did not mis-understand when I said "what would you want to trade the vest for" what I meant was what items are you looking to trade the vest for. :)

no problem,i understand what you ment :D :D

if i ship the b-vest from norway to the usa is no problem,i call it camping gear or camping supplies.
you wouldnt belive what i have shipped to treesuit :lol: :lol: :mrgreen:

il check the size of it in a day or so,but im shure its a large with a lot of velcro so it adjust a lot even if it is a medium.

pm me a list of stuff you want to trade with,i can take old mres(dark brown) new tan ones or other us rations.
star wars figures,us army;us marines gear or other stuff that you migth have that could be cool :D

cheers ken
