  anyway i think its valid, esp since the new pt kit is of higher quality and more suited for physical activities than the grey singlet.

  i live in the west. anyway the new army PT kit is not so eye catching as say, the OCS, PTI and grey army singlet.
  
  which reminds me, last year during the army half marathon, a lot of army personals wear the new PT kit and took the MRT to city hall. what a sight.

  For the benefit of uninitiated swakoos like myself, wat's the colour of the new PT kit?
  
  I'm sure i've seen it, just that i don't recognize it.

  the new army pt kit, meaning the one where the different formations have their own colour combinations rite? (e.g. your combat engineer is the mostly black with bits of yellow)

  i make a typo mistake in my post above.

  i meant to say "is not so eye catching as" instead of "is now so eye catching as".

  he walks. judging from the fact that he walks in every morning and go home every evening, i say he must be a clerk or something.

  more like he bought that expensive goretex for hundreds of dollars, so must wear it everyday to get his money worth.

  i think even now, it is still not an issued item - they are to be returned at the end of service.
  
  anyway, that is how goretex is to be used outfield too.
  
  have u noticed that even though there are goretex pants, no one uses them?
• one-niner

  my Bn uses them ..infact to the point that my CO had to ban them from using the pants.Reason being, they wore the goretex pants instead of their regular pants.this allowed most of them to perform dame garang movnments of half kneeling in water ...muddy places

  oh yes! can someone describe, or best, post an image, of the new infantry running singlet? (the same series as, say, the guards singlet which is essentially white with maroon and a brown streak on the side; the engineer singlet which is essentially black with yellow on the side).
  
  and where can i get the infantry singlet? does OCS gift shop sell it?
  
  thanks!
• Gordonator
