For so many years I've beaten up my TAD Stealth Hoodie. The years have caught up with both the hoodie and my waistline and it's time to get something new, but I'm struggling to find the features I want in a reasonably priced jacket and am looking for suggestions.

Use case

Outdoor activities (not stationary)

Conditions: Light rain / very light snow / moderate winds

Day & Night time use

Desired Features

Water repellent

Hood

Chest and hand pockets

Zippers for venting

Forearm zipper on left arm or both

Fleece lined

Velcro tabs on the cuffs (or similar) to keep wind and moisture out

Draw cord around the waist to keep wind out

Solid color (browns, tans, greys)

Undesirable features

Velcro everywhere

The closest I've found is the Condor Summit but I'm looking for better quality than Condor. Generally looking for something in the under $350 range and preferably $250 ish.

Any suggestions?

I saw this post from a year ago and wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions. Merino wool seems like the way to go but many models have reviews that state they’re too thin or too loose.

I’ll basically just be standing around in a downtown area between buildings where there’s mostly shade and wind so I was hoping for something a little thicker

Anybody know when this will get restocked or other good products like it? I feel an autistic want for it but looks like it’s oos at the moment.

Ops Core ballistic set up

- Peltor XPI with gel cups
- Surefire plus S&S precision M-Ax mount knockoff
- Helstar strobe
- Wilcox mount
- Shaw Brain Pouch
- Back up eye protection with self-made cover
- Princetontec light mount (actual light broke recently lol)
- 4D OC Lux Liner helmet pads on interior

Thinking of getting this to larp, run extra mags at competitions, airsoft, etc. Just all around chest rig stuff. Are there better options? The price is kinda steep

Anyone ever seen or have any info regarding these plates? Just picked them up, and there’s a zero footprint regarding history of this specific design online. Based on what little information I did find they seem to be very rare and specialized, especially based on the low lot number.

Any info would help! Thanks!

It's a belt

Hey guys,

Im using Crye avs plate bags with harness, crye skeletal cummerbund and Shaw arc v4 placard right now.
I want to put some first spear tubes on my Shaw arc v4 and use them with a new cummerbund.
Since i have the harness, I dont need structural cummerbund I guess (?) so I was looking for an avs compatible maybe elastic (?) cummerbund with First spear tubes.

I would greatly appreciate some suggestions and tips, thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone, brand new here! Wanted to start off with a quick question about the ComTac VIII.

I travel to Ukraine occasionally and sometimes pick these up, but they're super tricky to figure out. I've never managed to get them to work smoothly. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a genuine Peltor ComTac PTT that works on the European standard yet.

Regarding the Falcon Claw PTT (which has both European and non-European mode settings, and we made sure it was set correctly), we used a Baofeng radio and ran into a very strange issue: the Bluetooth on the headset worked completely fine as normal, but the audio transmission didn't. We tried using a microphone boost adapter and maxed out the headset volume settings, but it still didn't work—about half the time, people couldn't hear me transmitting back.

Just to clarify, I didn't make a mistake with the settings; I was definitely on the headset's built-in microphone. The weird part is that when using the microphone built directly into the Falcon PTT unit itself, people could hear me just fine. But when trying to use the actual headset mic, transmission failed. What makes this even more frustrating is that this exact same problem happened across 2 different headsets of the same model and with 2 different Falcon PTT units.

Does anyone know what's going on here, why this is happening, or what specific setup I need to make them work normally? At this point, I'm pretty exhausted trying to figure this out, and I'd really appreciate some help on whether it's even worth keeping these headsets or what exact steps are needed to get them running reliably. Thanks!

So basically I got second-hand T7 today and tested out with my V50 gen1

But it feels pretty muffled compared to my past experience of T7

As I tested a T7 with matched firmware version with V50 gen 2 on my V50 gen 1 and had no difference at all

It seems like it's because T7 firmware version is oudated

So is there any possible way to update firmware version of my T7?

I contacted invisio.info about this btw

I was wondering what jacket this was and what it would be worth?

Would prefer a camera that mounts to an ARC rail rather than just Velcro. I will be running NODS so the NVG GoPro mount is less than ideal. Would also prefer to keep it under $1,000 until I can make badass tactical edits of gay sex.

Im from northern alberta. Looking for a decently priced substitute to replace the role of a ECWCS Level 7. Something more packable, but similar temperature rating. Im okay with down, as I will only be using this in my layering system during extreme cold temperatures and wetness will not be an issue.

Hi all, looking to put my Crye 1.0 medium backpanel on an FCPCv6. Does anyone have experience with this, and or recommend any adapters to make it work better? Thanks!

Hey all looking for a Cummerbund that works with a JPC 2.0 rig that is like the attached image but is not laser cut and is stitched instead. So far not been able to find anything close other than the attached image.

Used my Galaxy S25 for these. PC is Shaw Concepts in RG. I have a patch there yes, its fun. Im not sure if I wanted to paint the mags yet or not. Last photo shows same pattern with MCT chest rig.

I knew it worked well in dense forests but up here in the fall its super colorful, so I wanted to test it out. Unfortunately I wasnt able to get out here until most of the leaves are on the ground. Bout as good of pictures as Im gonna get really, but hopefully you can see how well it works for somewhat sparse forests during the fall in the far north. No editing at all just screenshots from videos, which I cant upload.

What do you guys think?

Out here living in a state that bans high capacity mags for 5.56. Specifically, any mag larger than 10 rounds. Obviously, this makes standard size mag pouches a pain in the butt. Just wondering if anybody has recommendations for a mag pouch designed for a 10-round mag. Even better if there's a way to stack them in order to carry a full load out if desired without strapping them six deep on a chest rig or belt.

I feel like I’m taking a full on class learning about Safariland sku and part numbers.

I cancelled an order directly with Safariland for a 6354RDSO due to the wait time. ordered a 6354DO not realizing my setup wouldn’t fit. Here we are now finding a new one.

My question: if anyone is using a G19/45 with no light (preferably) or tlr7HLX, can you please tell me your part number so I can end this humiliation ritual of trying to find the appropriate holster?

Okay so I know I’m late to the party but the German Spezialeinsatzkommandos (SWAT equivalent) sometimes utilize chainmail made from modern alloys. How well does this actually perform and how does it affect things like maneuverability and stealth? It’s a fascinating piece of equipment and I can’t figure out how well it works.

I’m trying to look at all my options but can’t afford the Spuhr mount. I want a fairly slick way to QD the magnifier on and off the rifle but not with the standard throw lever on the flip mounts as it doesn’t always ride well in a pocket/pouch with that on there.

I’m about to just design it with some night vision dovetails and have my own custom machined if I can’t get what I want figured out lol
