Trials and PECOC Haul

Im sure many of you have seen that theres been an influx of trials kit coming through disposals recently, so had to snap some up, this is my little haul and i just picked out a few interesting features id like to share...




both the sets of kit are identical in construction.







double belt loops




Markings in the 'desert' shirt, DES5 - Defence Equipment and Support i can only assume




note the velcro closure, and also holes for a drawstring just like CS95s.




i always search pockets, but unfortunately the only 'goody' i got was a NAAFI cigarette wrapper!




a couple of labels, just to cover my back these came from MoD Disposals...




note the plastic tag thing on the smaller label, i wonder what was attached previously




and finally, a PECOC Side pouch, just a little interest piece i snapped up

Brilliant...love the pics George, gutted, I must have missed them!!!! Let's hope there are some more to be disposed of. Some very interesting variations!!

Great pieces. The faded out woodland pattern is something else.

Is that desert pattern really that yellow, or is it the flash? Its colouration is reminiscent of the old Italian desert camo.

It's always great when experimental kit comes out; especially in patterns we had no clue existed.

Has anybody documented all the varieties that were trialed? Every time I think I've got them all identified something else pops up! I have a couple different 2 color types and some quick digital mockups.

Some of mine have the same tags as above, some of them have a different tagging system. My I am also coming to understand there were a number of the temperate DPM types trialed. CD1, CD2, CD6 at the very least.
