Which colour did you use to tone down the DPM pattern?

http://www.strikeforcesupplies.co.uk/index.php?method=stock&id=20302 Hello As the British Army are upgrading their kit more modern equipment turns up on eBay at reasonable prices. Are these smocks any good? (As a Norwegian I take it for granted that it beats the "Norgie" any day.) According...

They also come with matching braces (Hosenträger) http://www.ebay.de/itm/BH-Hosentrager-zum-KAZ03-leicht-neu-OBH-Bundesheer-/200484912221?pt=Militaria&hash=item2eadd4fc5d E

I have to say that the US version looks even better, especially when pimped.

Is the US version worth considering? I live in Longyearbyen so the mukluks will be used in proper temperatures. :) E

I will. Thank you for helping me on this one! E

Thank you! Just what I was hoping for. Are the soles slippery on wet snow? How about the sizing? - Do I have to pick one size larger than usual considering that I am just going to use felt liners? E

I am thinking about buying new over boots/mukluks but I find the Canadian mukluks a bit expensive. Then I found the British version...

I am considering buying the same rucksack so I have a couple of questions: 1. Is it comfortable? (General thoughts on using it.) 2. Is the external pocket big enough to take a Swedish Army Trangia? E

Are there many differences from the DPM desert version? Could be an interesting alternative to the Norrøna Svalbard Anojacket. http://cgi.ebay.com/SAS-Smock-New-Windproof-SAS-Smock-Olive-Drab-190-120-/280554889676?pt=UK_Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item41525fe1cc No connection to seller...

The stitching was as tough as old boots. You hardly notice the marks/holes after the stitching, especially after dyeing the smock. I must add that the DPM pattern is still visible, just subdued as the jacket turned charcoal. (I tried brown dye first, only to be left with a brownish shade of...

I have an Austrian M65 that I use by the fire during the winter months. I like the pocket setup and the concealed hood, but it's quite heavy (as mentioned in the posts above.) Therefore I settled upon something lighter for activities like skiing and hiking and found a DPM windproof desert...

I think we called it the "combat pack" when i did my National Service. The back could be supported by two (wooden) tent poles on the inside. The external leather straps were perfect for the overboots. E

Bergans has been around since 1908, when inventor Ole F. Bergan designed the first integrated frame backpack. The Norwegian army placed a large order in 1913, while polar explorers Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth used Bergans packs on their expeditions. Soon the system was world-famous. In...

Ok. Thanks for helping me on this one! E

Rabbitsmacker - Do you know how much SASS will charge for a custom-made smock? (I am dreaming of an orange one in Ventile.) Regards Erik

I have been looking for something less bulky than my parka and Swedish smock, preferably a Norrona jacket, for the coldest nights by the fire. Then I discovered this thread, and ordered the Titan instead. Has anyone tried proofing it with the Fjallraven Greenland wax? I am looking forward to...

Be careful what you wish for... To be more precise: Pictures of the SASS smock other than from their web site, similar to the excellent pictures of the RN above.

Coming to think of it, never mind...

I see. Can anyone please link to an image of the garments, in use? I have not found any on the forum.
