SAL wrote:WOW^^
Is it comfortable?

actually its quite a snug fit it doesnt feel that bad wearing it> anythings good for saving the meat and two veg haha

Just a little bump... I don't suppose you got round to copying the brochure did you? As a guy is selling one on eBay for a tenner and I want to see it but I don't want to pay a tenner for the privilege lol.

Also, just put some pics up of my kit https://iacmc.forumotion.com/t6962-rich-83-s-personal-collection-of-mtp

Does the crotch cover come in small, medium, large and porn star sizes ?

I've seen one advertised as large but the one I have has no size in it at all it's just adjustable

My Osprey came with soft armour in it too

Nice, you just need the plates now.

My son has the plates in his, I got him some dummy ones to put in but he likes to keep it real.

this cammo would be WANK in Northern Ireland .

Am i Jealous,much! I could do with sourcing an Osprey mrk4. Solo International are selling their own camo pattern version but i'd rather have the real deal. Same with Mrk7 Lids. There are a few Ospreys for sale at the moment but none grab my attention.

I have now bought myself an Osprey. Photos to follow.

just to jump on the band wagon, my osprey

Here's my Osprey,nearly completed.I have the Brassards & neck pieces but i've decided not to add them.


What worries me is the DDPM webbing,isn't DDPM. It is still MTP where it has been covered but the Sun of Afghan has bleached the webbing where it's been exposed. Surely this would have been considered when deciding what materials to use???

Nice, they do look good with the Blackhawk holster and Sig P226 on the front but a lot of troops stick the sig in one of the mag pouches, don't know why when the Blackhawk holster are issued.

I only have the filler for the brassards, shoulder protectors and the half collar, im working on the rest!

recently got a used solo MK4, found an NSN tucked away aswell..



any suggestions as to the use of this large mesh pocket on the inside of the rear panel? (you can also see towards the top left corner of the rear panel the tiny nsn label


NSN, couldnt fit it all in due to the awkwardness of the label and the chubbiness of my fingers

This is the alternative way to button up your osprey using the small Cumberland pouches

Very nice! Still looking for a nice one to add to my collection!
Dont know about the MTP nappy though! hehe

Interestingly I just got one of these, the marker pen on mine starts "WA57" where yours says "WA20". I wonder if there is a connection?

Sadly mine is too big for me so I will have to sell it - it's a 190/120 but it does have the matching cumber buns and ops panel. Plus the mag and frag pouches.

Also I don't know what goes in teh bit at the back you mentioned either lol

That'll just be the previous owners ZAP number, if you're not familiar it's just a quick personal identification code for use over a possibly insecure radio net consisting of the troops initials and the last half of their army number, used most unfortunately in a casevac situation (in my experience drawn across the forehead in marker pen). The closest link is that they share the same initials, their army numbers could be hundreds apart.

Oh I see cheers

No problem

Hey you british collectors,

I'm very curious why is it I keep finding Osprey gear BRAND NEW, never combat worn ones?

What is good value for the worn vest?

Thanks!
