You still get soaked with sweat when it’s chucking it down because the water stops it breathing!

For everyone saying where’s the hood try trench warfare with a hood up and get back to me

There are 3 flavors and you only reviewed “white” 1) what exactly is it? 2) what exactly does it taste like? 3) what makes the other flavors different? 4) what do the other flavors taste like?

Bald headed gay army dressing-up box fetish?

Ranktap cut it off plezz

I paid three pound for mine and i absolutely love it.

I have one of these and find the zips under the arms the best thing about this jacket

The drawstring arrangement for the waist is a bit shit. That said, it is a great fabric, well made, with incredible features. Really good kit for moderately hard rain and hard use. Need a hat.

I won an eBay auction for one of these bags -- it arrived earlier this week and I took it out for the first time, when I went grocery shopping today. I attached the bag to my 45 L British daysack. The daysack (by PRI) is in desert DPM (M169BD1) so I suspect it's from a previous set of kit. The respirator bag fits onto the backpack's PALS webbing with room for a long skinny pouch (flashlight or saw) and a first aid pouch too. I had been thinking about getting one of the earlier desert DPM respirator bags to match the pack (cheaper than this newer MTP version), but it doesn't have MOLLE and I would have had to figure out an alternate way to mount it -- so the extra cost is well worth it! I found that when I open the zippers on the respirator bag, it has no problem accommodating two 4-packs of toilet paper/bog roll/loo paper/bathroom tissue. It really gives me a lot more space for carrying stuff. I don't know what the capacity is, but I suspect that including the little side-pouches on the respirator bag, it's probably over 10 L. And it's not too difficult to find similar-sized MOLLE pouches that can be substituted for those respirator bag side-pouches. When I first found out about MOLLE/PALS gear, I wasn't that keen on it, but this respirator bag has helped convince me that it's a pretty good invention. Now I can just zip the 10 L "rocket pouches" onto the sides of my 45 L pack, add this respirator bag and a couple more assorted MOLLE pouches or my Galyans floating backpack lid, and I've got 75+ L of room. I was interested to learn that the British pack is also compatible with the USMC FILBE assault pouch (can install on the bottom of the pack) and US Army sustainment pouches.

Where’s this channel gone?

what about a 80 litre osprey instead? not SHTF material?

what is dpm?

I have one on its way to me at this very moment. I plan to mount it on my ALICE LC-1 Harness/pistol belt as to carry my 10x12ft tarp et al, and my Snugpak Jungle blanket. One exterior pouch will hold my Fire & Water kits, the other a One Pint US Aviator canteen. My Ka-Bar Mark 1 might even fit in an interior pocket. Suspended above it I have my old issue 3 day Alice butt pack plus room on the belt. This was a great video. Too bad you went inactive...

As mentioned the jacket is designed as part of a clothing system. Soldiers will be wearing helmets, Bonnie hats or the gortex fleece lined cap which complements the jacket nicely.

Death to America, death to NATO.

Which is the mode of the jacket? Thank so much and really compliments for the videos!

Great review! Thanks mate.

In winter the French army goretex parka the ECWCS is my go to. In the warmer months I wear this and a goretex good. I wish this was a little more like the 90's dpm waterproof smok but it isn't. It's far lighter though. So with a seperate hood this works well.

Great video. I have the Tomahawk pack and it is really good. I think the difference between the M50 and the Tomahawk elite is the Tom is 45lt and has more internal dividers and mesh pockets. Both bags are very similar. I put a couple of mollie bottle holders on mine. Very strong bags. I tend to use mine for a winter bag for bushcraft and hammocking. They are not lightweight but will definitely last you for years.

Best kit around

Might be nice if you do a full review and instructional video. As in show how to remove the bladder, fit it into assault packs that have bladder slots, things like that.

The DPM ("disruptive" pattern material) British army Bergen is listed as a 100ltr pack with the possible addition of the two 10 ltr side or rocket pouches. The MTP version is a lot lighter weight material and would usually be lept dry by adding a rain cover. You can however use the additional dry sacks for the side pouches and also the main body. These originally were for the Woodland Bergen. You can also get the rubberised dry sacks which from memory came in black. I do have have both the DPM patterns, (woodland and desert) plus the standard MTP. All three Bergens came as PLCE. The "skirt" is actually generally referred to as the "snow collar".

Icing sugar and toothpaste! 😃

I have one identical. Very well think, designed bag. I love it.

Great work mate.. I have some M65 Highlander.. very much the same as the ones you've just filmed with.. the M65 have some straps coming out of each side pocket.. what are these for and have you any videos doing so.. Regards Justin

Im buying this right away

And no hood

They need to improve on size issues with the mitts and the hood. And probably try and return Hope that helps. Stay safe ;-)

What size, I hear they come up small

A REALLY good review! I enjoy your reviews, you do them well. DPM versus MTP: MTP wins when you're talking about hiding birdsh_t impacts. DPM highlights it for all to see... ;-) 3:50 - A slip of the tongue, you didn't mean that. This is PLCE, there's no MOLLE (or even PALS) on this kit. MOLLE is a specific US military ISSUE kit system just as PLCE is a specific Brit military issue system. There's loads of MOLLE *COMPATIBLE* kit out there such as Osprey and a host of generics, etc, but they're NOT MOLLE unless they're a US military issue item from the MOdular Lightweight Loadbearing Equipment system. 6:59 - Oh, you MEANT it about "MOLLE loops"?! But, no doubt, you know better by now (in 2020)! Too good a review to delete it because of this detail. :-) 7:10 - If you zip both sides closed, you won't get much at all into this pack. I've only seen people do this when they store the pack empty or mail it. 12:16 - They're stiff 'cause they're "Lift The Dot" snaps (one way), the same type you find on the Osprey kit and elsewhere on PLCE pouches. You only need to open this flap to remove the frame so that you can turn the sack inside-out for cleaning. 12:32 - The right side strut rivet is broken. Because that closure flap is so strong and holds the frame in place so well, you can often get away with it and for ages. 14:30 - Mr/Miss Van Der Gelder: probably a Dutch marine commando (RNMC)! 15:24 - Hiding a kip mat. The two standard attaching methods within the military is to strap under one set of compression straps (side pouches not fitted) or attach to the accessory loops. Then fit a rucksack cover. When PLCE was first issued, there was no way you could store the kip mat inside the pack, though I've heard of REMFs opening it up inside the sack as if to line it. All they need to carry is a dossbag, pillow, wet wipes and jazz mags...

Thanks for the review of the headover. Truly multipurpose piece of kit.

There's this amazing fabric that has been around for decades and which breathes and you don't get all drenched in your own sweat through buying cheap rubbish jackets. The fabric is called GORE TEX. You're welcome.

Are you sure that is a leg staple not a waist belt like on a rukka bag us-20 or the us-30 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKirf6SrjtGsbJo images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5554a8c0e4b0da925a222061/1557936984899-7JW3S6BTL86IRFVHIDAN/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kPJXHKy2-mnvrsdpGQjlhod7gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z5QHyNOqBUUEtDDsRWrJLTmihaE5rlzFBImxTetd_yW5btdZx37rH5fuWDtePBPDaHF5LxdCVHkNEqSYPsUQCdT/us-20+rear2.jpg?format=500w

Thanks for your helpful review.

What is the size of the one you are wearing?

P.S. Tape a survival blanket to the bottom of the tin. You are probably going.to need shelter very badly.

Bin the knife because : A) It 's not UK legal. B) It's rubbish. Replace it with a Victorinox Classic. Also, Ziploc bags are a much better choice than condoms. Anyone who's smart will add a lighter and that tea candle will melt under hot conditions. So wrap it in some tin foil, which is also useful in its own right. In fact folding up a couple of square ft of foil, and packing it inside the lid is always worth while. Can be used for lures, making a pot to boil water in (personally I reservations about that tin) and can also be used to start a fire on in camp or snowy conditions.

Great video I have this Bergen with one rocket pack and camelbak loadout but I’m curious about the doss bag your using?

It looks like it was leaking quite a bit after it was opened.

I have the desert version as my ration/mess kit

I bought some Bates delta boots worn them for less than 12 months, and the hot weather made soles drop off, contacted bates, and said no warranty as I had them longer, if I find a good boot I buy 2 or 3 pairs now I buy the Kestral YDS, much better boot,

Yeah......but it's still not a Camelbak. For something as important as securing your water, you don't want to mess around with the cheap option.

Great straight up review! Thanks! Just got mine it’s great

Bit of a guess will it fit: military uniform mtp. Tomahawk, mess tins, basha, decent groundmat foldable, bivvy, sleeping bag, laplander , few knives, 2 canteens and water straws and 1st aid kit?

Getting ready for the second season of use with mine. I've just picked apart the stitching that makes the divided pair of internal pockets on the right hand side. It's freed up lots of more packable space, with room now for spare laces, walkman radio and earphones, extra matches, first-aid kit in baccy tin, sighting compass, GPS, headlamp and compeed blister pouch. The section on the right hand side has an extra layer of padding compared with the left that just has an outer of unlined proofed cordura. Could be useful for delicate opticals or electronics. The detachable side pouches (FLAP, POUCH - FIELD PACK) really annoyed me last year - too small for useful bottles/flasks and they catch in the bushes. Both have been removed, and I've found the molle webbing on the main bag to be really useful for securing a camera tripod. Just for completeness; OS maps, notebooks, pencils and magnifying glass fit neatly in the left hand divided section, the main section has lunch box, 500cc thermos, emergency orange bag, "survival blanket", handwipes, tissues, 10x25 folding binos and there's still room for a snack or two. Excellent bags.

toggles are years old ! had them on an old smock, and a Falklands issue parka. they're ok.

I didnt realize it had Velcro until now

Has anyone ever washed a pair of these, or are they simply discarded after 1 use? There are no washing instructions on the packaging or the socks, and I have searched the internet for almost an hour and can't find a single thing about this. They are great socks and I don't want to screw them up, but they are very different material from Marino wool which requires gentle wash cycle etc, so I guess I can just toss them in with everything else and it won't hurt them. I'll let people know if they get screwed up and the fur inside gets matted or sheds, but they are just being tossed in with dungarees, shirts, towels, etc. In 60 years, I have never bought an article of clothing that doesn't have washing instructions on a label or the packaging. I purchased them in the US at Shoprite. Great and warm socks, but this is really aggravating having costed me over an hour and still no answer.

Cool video friend. I love gadgets and gear and get out and try them out. I love the bear grylls's emergency pouches. Grylls's is a dink, but I do like Gerber/Fiskars products.
