Where to buy a new (unused) British Army Goretex bivy? Am in NZ.

[Siberian Mongoose]

Where to buy a new (unused) British Army Goretex bivy: searched online but this can be a bit confusing—search engines don‘t work very well anymore, and tend to repeat the results page after page: have i reached the end of the internet?!…and have to turn back?!

Not too worried about the colour but prefer Olive green (probably no more available unused), then DPM or MTP. There were some grade 1s in a local surplus shop (but was too far for me to look) in Christchurch, NZ, so i need to import one, or maybe two being one of each camo-pattern.

Please, hope that anyone can help me here with this. Ta muchly.

Endicott's get a good reputation, and Kev is known to cherry pick stuff for folks.

The olive green ones are pretty old now .even an unused one might have problems with seem tapes etc

I thought so. Are the DPM and MTP ones the same age, or are the DPMs older and the MTPs newer? Ta.

Yes.

Tell me if you get super stuck as I have a DPM one somewhere.

Yes.

Yes that the MTPs are newer?

Yes that the MTPs are newer?

They are. MTP came in initially in 2009, with more general roll-out in '11.

Yes , DPM pre-dates MTP.

Only DPM and MTP ones that i’ve found unused are from Kitmonster in Kent: How are they for buying off of? They also have the 50L Exped drybag plus the other sizes in olive (as i have some to me looks like grey-olive (or olive-grey), i have two earlier ones which are medium olive green) and black, apart from 40L (being as rare as dragons‘ teeth).
