Desert BDU for our troops in Iraq.
-
Take a look at this picture.If you look closely at the two guys squatting at the edges of the front row, they seem to be wearing desert BDU.Does anyone have any other pictures of our troops in such camouflage?Would appreciate if you can post here, it would make an interesting sight.

If i'm not wrong the coverall they're wearing is also in desert camou, right? since its brown and the normal ones are green

Those two guys at the extreme left and extreme right of the squatting group are in BDU.Look carefully at the brown stripes, though they're quite sparse.

cheh, nothing much lah....i ownself also got a pair of Tactical Tiger stripes bdu...

it's standard US Army 3 day desert BDU.
I think that they're wearing the useless Altama desert boots and not Wellco, Oakley or Danner desert boots.

The Oakley boots are standard issued boots for some of the US SF units.

Chunyong, you seem pretty experienced with this stuff eh.Mind me asking if you're from the police force or have served some time there?And on another note, are the Oakley boots suede/Gore-Tex combination or some other material altogether?

Haix ones anti-static and anti-slip (water+oil). also flame and acid proof. non-marking and very heavy and the soles are very hard, u can't really kneel well.Originally posted by LazerLordz:Chunyong, you seem pretty experienced with this stuff eh.Mind me asking if you're from the police force or have served some time there?And on another note, are the Oakley boots suede/Gore-Tex combination or some other material altogether?
Oakley ones i dunno cos i think SG don't have any units issued with it i think. The best and cheap boots are Original SWAT one...u can run wearing it, really run like a sports shoe. with EVA foam, got abit of Nike Air effect also. bad point is it is not anti-slip. plus point is it is VERY lightweight and flexible.
if u want waterproof can coat ur boots with those waterproofing liquid or wat loh. -
so hao lian....Originally posted by chunyong:cheh, nothing much lah....i ownself also got a pair of Tactical Tiger stripes bdu...

Something like some fashion things and they used the material and some test was done on it and it come out bad. -

that why i am asking are we still using that?Originally posted by wuming78:wow realli? den how the goretex jacket? and goretex boots?
I am still using the old synthetic leather boots. If this wear out, than i will have to buy else where.
Out in field we dun use the goretex jacket at all. One thing is that it take up too much space in the packs. -
a quick search on google shows that gore-tex is often used in medical cases where cancer is concerned. are you sure that it causes cancer?
i always wear the goretex boots, it hurts less than the full leather boots. -

Last week the Environmental Protection Agency announced concerns about a widely used chemical called perfluorinated acid. Tests in rats have shown reduced fetal weight of pups, delays in maturation and kidney problems — and 92% of Americans tested had trace amounts of it in their blood. That's because so-called PFOA or its byproducts are used in the manufacturing process for Teflon and Gore-Tex and can be released as the original Scotchguard and Stainmaster break down. PFOA also has other industrial uses.
If your mum or wife using those teflon pans, i think better tell them to throw it off.
Once it season, leather is good. But still I prefer jungle boots. Those with good support around the ankle. -
hurts? why do the boots hurt u?Originally posted by nismoS132:a quick search on google shows that gore-tex is often used in medical cases where cancer is concerned. are you sure that it causes cancer?

I think the leather not seasoned enough and like any new shoe, it bites back. But once the leather is seasoned, its so soft, you'll wear it like its just your feet.Originally posted by wuming78:hurts? why do the boots hurt u? -
