how come you are too poor to wear what operators wear?

Because a $10 Chicom rig is just as good and actually Operator approved.

>>32260010
Im using guhbmint bux to pay for college and my left over cammies and FROGs keep me comfy for the meantime

>>32260010
Because I'm not using taxpayer money to buy my shit

>>32260010
Because I'm not retarded? It might be good but you're paying for a brand.

Mall Ninja's Excelsior!!

>>32260010
because even that brands simple winter coats are a shitload and my Burton jacket from GoodWill keeps me just as warm.

>>32260010
I have some of their stuff and while it's really good, I'd never buy it at full prices. Always get it secondhand or on sales

Don't have any of their LEAF shit tho, just the normal stuff

I have a softshell already.

>>32260010
I have a set of M65 field jacket and pants. Woodland. Don't get more operator than that.

>>32260010

I have Patagucci.

>>32260010
I don't own those things because I'm not a man-child larper. The only "operator" things you could wear in public without looking like an autist are certain coats and decent boots.

Cause I'm not autistic.

I own a pair of Sphinx pants, a Minotaur top and a Atom SV.

I love them all, they're great pieces, but I would personally never buy any of their non soft shell uniform items like their combat sets, simply no reason when I own so much Crye and other more comfortable things.

>>32260107
yeah if your budget is 35$ at goodwill you fucking poorfag retard

There is a reason your crazy uncle who was in vietnam still has one. They work. For cheap. That is if you actually want to do some work in them, not just show off to your boyfriends. I don't walk around wearing full camo dipshit.

Not bagging on people who used chest rigs but how necessary a MOLLE platecarrier and all that tactical shit?

how much gear did a LRRP patrolman need?

joke's on you. I'm not too poor.

I'm too fat.

>>32260010
Because it doesn't actually make you any more skilled and the money could be spent on ammo, for practice... oh wait, you don't actually shoot your guns do you?

>>32260907
It's not about need. You could tie a string around all your gear and just rig it to yourself with knots.
Old-school soldiers used the best they had available at the time. Shit evolves and gets better over time. Stop romanticizing the past.

>>32260929

be overheated all day because you are wearing a tent, enjoy trying to shoot sub moa while heaving and sweating

>>32260010

Those aren't operators. Those are models for a brand.

>>32261037
What, you don't take a layer off when you're hot? I shoot fine in all conditions because I don't play dressups and don't have to worry about "maintaining the look".

LRRP's still carried a shit ton of gear with them on missions. Nothing really changed since then, except gear got better and lighter.

You have a point, I remember being told "Less is More" when it came to what we had on our plate carriers.

MOLLE really is the shit compared to ALICE, and I can romanticize the past all I want, those guys were A E S T H E T I C as fuck

Sometimes OPSEC trolling is fun

>>32261255
no, it isnt fun SOMETIMES.

its fun all the time. i remember the one pic that was so OPERATOR, that it was just a black box.

>>32260010
because local law enforcement doesn't pay worth a damn and thats a thousand bucks worth of gear on that guy.....not including the rifle

>>32260033

J/K falls apart with even moderate use. I will never buy chicom shit again. But yea it is good for armchair commandos cause you don't get much wear taking selfies in the bathroom mirror

>>32261141
QC wise which is better, TAD or Arcteryx?

>>32261630
Arcteryx by a huge, HUGE margin
TAD has issues with busting seams.

>>32260010
Tbh I found those kneepads hella uncomfortable.

I've used both overseas and when /out/, haven't had any failures just usual wear.

That being said I'd agree with this anon >>32261177 with respect to past TAD issues, also dead bird has major contracts with MIL/LEO that demand a very high QC level

>>32261559
you've never used a real ChiCom rig, have you? They're great. Go back to shopping at your local wal-mart

>>32260010
Because I work a job that is probably going to be lost to a robot.

I dunno, I just kind of always assumed fashion was a womanly thing. Hmm, most my clothes were free now that I think of it...

Besides the weather here is always nice.

they work for being made of tent, and making you sweat like a pig if you have to walk a mile with load. Goretex is like 50 year old, senile grandpa

Neat. I have a few TAD products and Im thinking of pissing away money on a nice softshell after graduation. Im looking at arcteryx and now I get to be a /k/ meme

Nigger I have gortex too. Shit is loud.

I'm so operator that my Arc'Teryx is bright orange because camo just makes it too easy.

Ok, I really got this thing for dirt cheap at an end of season clearance sale, don't remember exactly what I paid but it was under $100. I guess nobody wanted to pay $300+ to look like a construction worker. Awesome jacket though.

>>32263076
>Awesome jacket though.
ATOM LT is super-cozy anon, well done

>>32260010
b-but I have a TAD fleece

>>32260907
LRRPs carried a shit ton of gear. MACV-SOG guys often used chicom chest racks or had custom vests sewn up.
