Lightweight Aussie jungle basha on eBay

See here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lightweig...Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item1e92f1a028 I won one yesterday and thought someone might be interested. Same seller also has a berghaus crusader rucksack for a nice price.

Is it lightweight? I've got a green one and a 'jellybean' one. The olive green one is a thicker material and a lot heavier than the camo one.

Maybe its not lightweight then. Still not a bad price for a basha though.

True

Looking closely at the photo the material doesn't look the same as my heavy-duty one which, IIRC, has a coarser weave. Would be interested to know the weight of yours when you get it. From memory, the heavy duty one is a little over a kilo while the lighter one was about 700g. But I've only ever seen the OG ones in heavy duty material (you can't see light through it).

Looks a lot like my british army one

I got one a week or so ago, however I'm not home for a couple weeks to have a look at it! I can sort out some pics when I get back.
