Try to find a tan or OD helmet, once those get dirty they blend in REALLY well

And others may say otherwise, but I highly recommend not buying a fake plate carrier. The real stuff is always worth the money.
Condor and ur-tactical.com make good plate carriers, and if you want to save some money without sacrificing quality, pantacgear.com is also a good option. IMO condor and tactical-tailor make amazing pouches in multicam.

If you haven't bought apparel already, I recommend tru-spec 50/50 ripstop ACU's if you don't want to spend a lot. Proper makes good stuff but their material is really thick and therefore super hot in summer. And if you have a bigger budget, ur-tactical has REALLY awesome tactical pants with integrated kneepads.


Hey TC,

I have the helmet...a little dusting of kyrlon tan and kicking the thing around in dry dirt with rocks and gravel fixes it right up

You left out SDKtactical for places to buy.

Went with Eagle, Emdom, Blue Force Gear and some Condor for the bulk and my clothing is mostly UR-Tactical's stuff (ECWCS Coat and Combat pants), Belville TR-1s for the boots and Damascus gloves. ICE Tactical and Cyre for my last two bits of multicam (Combat shirt and boonie respectively) from OPtactical.
