Cool items .. nice to see the latest in combat fashion from our Antipodean brethren in the sandpit. Thanks for sharing!

Your rather lucky kaleb , U do know dude ,if your goign to wear the tops at airsoft it would pay to take the kiwi roundall badge off I have been advised alot of ASNZ clubs dont like us airsofters wearing the kiwi roundall patches , that is unless these are part of your collection bro

I don't about the airsofters, but it does annoy soldiers who have to earn to the right to wear them.

Personally it dosent bother me

well theres some praise , I gotta say that aramid smock looks soo comftorble warm and soft , man you must eb warm and smnug wearing that thang

Tyler, I dont wear the roundels if i use any of my shirts to play wargames unless they are like my uncles or my dads DPMs or something and sewn on.
Sometime I might have chance to wear one properly myself though

Fair enough bro, Nice Collection i must say I bet you are quite satisfied havign a Full Desert kit all ya need now is a vest

paraflex look Similar to Wellco

The UBACS Shirt , what are the like to wear are they stuffy and warm? , infact arent they doing ones like that in MCU Patt ?

Yes they are being made in MCU, I have one in MTP and in DDPM and they are amazing for wear under a full plate carrier, they dont let you overheat at all really. and I have got the IBA tan plate carrier somewhere, Just spotted a corner of it in the J-hat photo

Why don't the ASNZ clubs like you wearing the kiwi? Oh and the smock liner is tits, only good for the Mrs in the lounge watching short land street.

Haha thats similar to what my smock liner is used for most times,
And they arent really fussed about it, just some politically correct players see it as disrespectful, personally I see it more disrespectful to tear the patches off the shirts or brassards if they arent velcro.

All active role kiwi soldiers that I know are all happy for me to leave the patches on if I use their shirt in a game, even though I have never been deployed. Obviously as long as I dont "pretend" that I was the one who actually EARNED them

Well the Kiwi Roundall patch is what alot of soldiers in the army wear as we already know the reason a few ASNZ clubs do not like people wearing them is because it is disrespectfull im blocked off militaryphotos.net unfortunantly one of the Local Club reps in my reigon decided to blasthmey my name anyhow yeh . Its just a respect thing I guess especially to all serving and past soldiers , thats why I've sold mine .

This question has been answered on here a few times,

Yes the NZ Army will eventually phase out DPM items which will be replaced by MCU and CB/CT colour items.

IIRC, the reason you were blocked from militaryphotos.net was when the Mods and an Ex-UN Soldier complained about your avatar including an image of you wearing the blue United Nations roundel...?

Yes unfortunantly it was taken the wrong way though They had legit reason A club rep in ASNZ stirred things up a bit and all.
