I got some vests from Cadet Kit Shop when they had DPM on offer.
But mostly we use PLCE, which the cadets prefer.
I set up some searches/alerts on eBay which made it easier to find stuff at a god price.
Thats it. Direct to the manufacturer.
I agree. But, when it is used infrequently, having to change the pouches, adjust straps, etc⌠its easy to through on a vest.
When cadets get their own, they go for webbing or battlebelts.

If the webbing is correctly put together, there isnât a lot to adjust. The pouches all have to be as close together as possible, with a four pouch set up, all you have to adjust is the belt and shoulder straps.
Webbing only really messes up when the pouches are poorly attached to the belt and cause the belt to sag and chafe.
If youâre going to buy in bulk from Cadet Kit Shop, always get in contact for discounts. Donât pay the website price. Never buy from Cadet Direct, their service is rubbish.

I always found that âPCLEâ, âPECLâ or âCombat beltâ brought up lots of quality kit and knock down prices with nobody else bidding on them!
But that was when eBay was good.
Brilliant! Will try (but now of course 14,000 CFAV know the ruse)
I think you overestimate our influence - for many, our reputation is marginally above YKYBAACTLW.
We would say âunfairly soâ, but ACC is known about while being mostly uncared about.
If you drop the OC of 723 Wigan Sqn an email, I gave him about 30 sets of CS95 webbing a couple of years ago. He might be able to help you out.
