I have only looked at it quickly so once I get the chance later I will give it the once over and see what I can come up with Atb Jamie Quote Link to post

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 i have just got the jack pyke llcs ghillie in woodland oak flavour with the gloves and the balaclava aswell. really pleased with it it seems great. i got the m/l size and its a nice fit for me im pretty small lol. in winter it will probably stretch over my big advantage timber coat.. hopefully. the pants will deffo go over my army surplus camo pants and the gloves are a bit big for my small hands (like a girls, no lie!) but if i get some other gloves under them it should be 'reet. there nicce and thin material tho so i can feel the trigger/adjust the scope with them on which is a positive. overall well chuffed with it and would highly reccomend it. worth the money?? who knows.. need to go get some shooting done and put it to the test lol Quote Link to post

AR177 588 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Ive got to say Mole you are the only person I have ever heard refer to an NBC suit as 'lightweight' and 'breathable' id hate to see your heavy gear ATB Adam 1 Quote Link to post
Malt 379 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Only thing this expensive hunting cammo does is impress other hunters who are daft enough to buy the stuff themselves.. If it was really that good, do you not think our soldiers would be dressed in stuff covered with printed leaves and branches? Quote Link to post
AR177 588 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 The military are like 15years behind the curve.. so in another 15 years we will move from splodges on MTP to leaves The military runs on a few basic rules, 'Buy cheap and buy lots' and 'Like it and lump it' ATB Adam Quote Link to post

AR177 588 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 True, both spams and us are now moving away from the conventional field types of camo, its all going multi terrain cam mainly because we now fight most our wars in urban environments and its cheaper to have one multi use set rather than 10 specific ones. Although you are 100% right you dont need the expensive leaf camo to get the job done ATB Adam 1 Quote Link to post
pianoman 3,587 Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 To be honest, as rabbits particularly have a poor, monochrome eyesight, spending seriously hefty sums on cammo is a bit of an overkill. I've always used bag standard British Army DPM and it does the job with a realistic dollop of fieldcraft working with it. They have superlative hearing and powers of smelling scents and that's what we really have to come up against. NBC suits. I know I hated the sweaty, itchy, dirty, charcoal bloody stuff when I was serving in the Royal Air Force from 70s throughout the 80s. It was like wearing a mix of carpet underlay and coalsack fastened with velcro. But if Mike is comfortable using his, then all good luck to him Just the sound of those three letters brings back some memories of two-week long summer NBC TACEVAL warfare excercises in UK and Germany, without reliving it when going bunny sniping.
