We in the forces call those Cadpat gloves "48 hour gloves" because they're so crappy, they only last 48 hours. And the Cadpat bivvy bags are quite a hot item i must say. But the cadpat fleece jackets are indeed the top of the kit that i can name off the top of my head.

They look like this I think:
I've never gotten mine, over a year and I never got mine =/, I actually had to bring in my own goggles for those dusty helicopter trips. Also note that these things are in no way can stop fast speed flying projectiles =P, mainly used for sun, dust, and wind, hence the name of the goggles. I heard however that there is actually a ballistic lens replacement in some. I haven't seen any yet though.. so those are probably the ones you have coming in.

Hey, MikeL: Sorry about thinking you were retired. Please don't hurt me :mrgreen:
Anyways, my digi cam is the one that retired early. So I was stuck using my high speed webcam. Mind the shitty pics. Theres the Gortex gloves, a feild dressing, winter weight canteen(So when you go to take a drink of water it's not frozen in your summer canteen, its frozen in the winter one :? ) Polypro Balaclava/neck warmer (yummy peices of kit), The OLD gloves good for nothing, the NEW CADPAT gloves that 'no reservist' can have(Ie me?)Just kidding. Last but not least the really nice ballistic glasses. Comes with clear lense but I bet EVERY single person switched it to the tinted one right away. Any questions/comments go ahead. I'll try to get better pics and replace them. but if you were a civi and trying to find what soldiers really have, now you know! *edit* Or cadet?? :-x LOL enough mistakes on my end. Thanks MikeL, I'm on crack today. But I coulda sworn it's a winter canteen. |

Neckwarmer? I'm confused, there is the balaclava, and then there is the gator. As far as I'm concerned people love it. Generally people wear the gator overtop of the balaclava. Seems like the only problem is that little icsicles(sp?) form over the netting part overtime lol. It's quite amusing to see.

Neckwarmmer and Gator are essentially the same thing.

KC, IMO scarfs suck. Neck Gator/Warmer is a lot better, an not bulky like a scarf.

The old school combat scarf is more like a combat blanket. I find it almost to large to be a useful scarf. It's pretty good if you plan on wrapping your head up though. But yeah....any more Canadian or Canadian-esque kit pics coming?
