Just a follow-up note. I bought one of these off ebay - still selling here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180515205989
No connection etc etc - but delivery was immediate - within 2 days of buying, and price much better than any I've seen advertised - or in shops.
These things are really well-made - reeks of quality. And clearly brand-new. Big thumbs-up from me!
DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!There are copies out there,
original ones from what ive heard are well made,good quality etc, and good effective woodland camo.(better in pine forrests)
Thanks for that. Looks just the thing for wearing under my Swedish army parka and leggings at the Elefantentreffen in Passau next year! Did this on my sidecar outfit a year or two ago - 2000 miles and it never got above freezing or stopped sleeting/snowing. Took me 2 weeks to get some feeling in my fingertips back!
(Anyone tells you any motorcycle gloves are waterproof - just spin in their eye. 4 pairs - including a set of electric ones - failed. Overgloves and handlebar muffs next time!)
Excellent quality piece of kit compared to the other equivalents out there.
I use the same combo as above minus the leggings and nothing gets beats it out in the freezing cold.
My only gripe is that they could of designed a better fitting hood on the jacket, maybe a permanent lined hood.
One thing i cannot figure out is a male push stud just under the collar of the jacket to the left, can anyone comment on the use of that stud?

ananix, from my original post i was meaning there are copies out there but dont get them,thats why i went on to say the originals are well made good materials etc,eg unlike the copies.
I saw a programme many years ago regarding open ground and our dpm cammouflage, that showed its the same as your's regarding open ground, with plain olive green as a comparison,it to didnt perform as well,but once in long grasses,wooded enviroments it well out performed the plain olive green clothing.
Just got the genuine HMAK trousers as well to go with and they are superb. Available on Ebay now
