Why would you want to buy webbing?
Can't you live without it?

Webtex is designed for cadets, hence its cheap and nasty in most cases. Not really designed for a 6 month tour....if you catch my drift...

(No...i have not done any six month tours recently...)

Apparently, webtex has a real reputation for being low quality. I don't know as i have never bought any webtex stuff, but i'm told to avoid it like the plague, and as mentioned above, the issued stuff is free and if you rip your issued stuff in some far away place, then you can simply get replacements, cannae do that with webtex can you?
Nothing worth doing is ever easy.

~Get yourself a good Gr1 set of DPM PLCE, if you are lucky Ebay oftend has some treasures hidden under all the shyte thats in there, i have seen a set of OG uniussued go for £6.50...i know coz i bought it for a cadet at my old unit as his parents couldnt afford to spend alot.

I have a Arktis belt kit that cost me over £80 from a source, however i do paintball and airsoft regularly with uni so the cost is justified i thought.
Before that i had PLCE DPM all of my cadet time then sold it to get the Arktis (now im back to PLCE with OTC :lol: )
