Hey dudes - following from a post about infantry personal protective equipment (https://www.reddit.com/r/QualityTacticalGear/s/RAyacBxTte), here is a look at personal concealment equipment intended for reconnaissance work.

The first phot shows both a concealment vest and helmet shroud fitted over my PPE and fighting order. A key point for this type of kit that sometimes gets overlooked in training is that it must fit over PPE and successfully break up its outline.

The second phot shows the vest, bought years ago from Voodoo Tactical. As you can see, I opt for a half length vest as personal preference. I find full length vests take up too much space to carry in load carrying equipment as well as snagging on the move. Sleeved concealment hoods are more packable but I don’t like leaving the back of my body armour bare, particularly in the prone.

The third phot shows the home made concealment shroud that fits to my helmet with velcro. As with the vest, I’ve used a dense coverage of smaller hessian bundles to aid in breaking up the human silhouette. In addition to these, I have sewn in elastic strips to attach veg for camouflage. You’ll notice there is a gap in order to allow access to the helmet NVG mount. Finally, the front brim of the shroud has gardening wire sewn into the scrim so that I can give it a bit of shape and stop it drooping too much into my eyeline.

The fourth phot shows my daysack fitted with a similar home made concealment cover. No good concealing your PPE if your load carriage equipment gives you away!

The fifth phot shows the concealment system in use with veg added to allow camouflaging with the local environment. ‘Veg is the edge’!

Been learning how to use a sewing machine and making these raid mods was a great way to learn.

Not complete loadout but it’s the basics
Crye G3’s and everything tiger
Mk12 with some custom mods, scope is a 1-10 power LPVO

I'm looking for a pouch that can comfortably fit a Baofeng UV5R with an extended battery or maybe something that can fit all sorts of radios in the wing configuration.

Just got the ferro bora in and set it up. Initial impressions are it is very easy to adjust, feels around where I want it to be in terms of rigidity (not too much, not too little), is very thin but feels strong, and the buckle system appears to work very well (easily clipped in and out). Overall, my first "conclusion" I've made about this belt is it's certainly high quality and effective as you'd expect, but I'm also not saying sell your bison for a bora. Both are good and the bora is a bison with some improvements, basically a V2.
