[wanderinstar]

I seem to remember seeing a thread on here somewhere about military stores selling to the public. But look as I may I cant find it. Can anyone help?

You could become a Full Member, and then you would be offered some very good deals on bushcraft/surplus gear (some of it is rarely offered on the open market).

When I said military stores, I did not mean shops selling ex - military gear. But stores on military bases, Does no one remember this thread?

Cheers Andy,
A mate let me have a pair of thermal trousers. His top to go with them got ruined. I would dearly love the top that goes with them. They go in a stuffsac are reversible, olive and sand, feel like they may be made from para silk and possible filled with down.The nos. on stuffsac are as follows 8415993236719 [66308]. Hope that you can help.
Ian.

Sounds like the issue bivvy trousers - here's a couple of links with pictures - may not be the cheapest price though:

Jacket : http://www.strikeforcesupplies.co.uk/stock.php?page=bigpic&item=3014
Trousers : http://www.strikeforcesupplies.co.uk/stock.php?page=bigpic&item=20038

Might be worth calling our friend Kevin at Endicotts in Exeter - tel. No 01392 433331

I bought my bivvy trousers from there

HTH

Yup, im afraid for stuff like that surplus stores are your best bet. PRI shops dont tend to sell military kit exactly more like a midway point between a sports shop and an outdoor store with a hint of military thrown in for good measure. LOL ...Its hard to explain.

 

[wanderinstar]

Steve,
Thats the one I,m looking for. How much did you pay for the trousers from Kevin?

Can't remember the cost exactly - they were in with a load of other stuff...I'm sure they were as cheap, if not cheaper than most of the online shops.. £20-£30 IIRC
