Hey I was wondering if it is worth buying my own set of MTP webbing
It depends - your wing should have webbing for range days and your local SATT team should also have webbing for students. Shooting order webbing consists of 2x double ammo pouches on the left side and a utility pouch. It can be just belt order or you can purchase the harness aswell. There is lots of other pouches you can buy for your own set up such as ammo dump pouch but realistically you wonât need them.
I would say thatâs itâs only worth buying your own belt-kit for shooting if a) youâre a shooting freak who shoots lots, and b) your wing/sqn doesnât have much and you find that when youâre shooting you share webbing and have to re-adjust it several times during the day.
You donât need MTP webbing at all, DPM belt-kit is fine - itâs cheaper, itâs just as effective, and if itâs filthy it pretty much looks like MTP anyway. Lots of regular soldiers are still using DPM belt kit, so donât worry about fashion.
Use the money you save to spend more on more important things - boots, waterproofs, daysack/rucksackâŚ

If you use it a lot then yes, but as above get a second-hand set of DPM and save many pennies! You should be able to get something usable for under ÂŁ20, which means that you can get it well set-up once and then itâll remain balanced and comfortable.

You most likely will never need your own set. If you do, you would know.

Most successful light troops of the era who stole most of their âwebbingâ from dead French Soldiers!!
Ah yes, reminds me of the regimental crest of 2 crossed dead Frenchmen emblazoned on a mound of dead Frenchmen.
