Pics of your german Flecktarn kit

[Greek soldier]

Not the IDZ body armor. So how come a bunch of airsofters get their hands an IDZ goggles, IDZ body armor or LUCIE helmet mounts?

Don't know, but I assume Ebay is the #1 suspect. To give you an idea, several months ago on ebay.co.uk it was for sale a genuine LUCIE Night Vision Goggle with the helmet and head mount costing over 12,000 Euros.

very nice winter camo

Thumbs up. Good job, indeed. You're sporting woolpower (used to be called Ulfrottee back in the days) merino base layers and Carinthia snivel gear underneath...oh, an get a comfy pair of Meindl Glockner boots. Apply some Schlaemkreide to your vest, it would be unlikely not have it "painted" that way since troopers where rotating in and out of country for OEF back in '03. Paint your Munro as well and cut off the bungee cord.

Best Protection got some new vests in a few months ago.
The "Falke" Shutzweste, which seems like a crossbreed between the IdZ body armor and a CIRAS or something.

My friends and I ordered some, though we haven't received them yet.

They're obviously not the same IdZ BA that Helbi and his crew are wearing, but as those can't be acquired easily (and are really expensive), I think the Falke is a decent alternative.
It'll probably look good under the IdZ Trageweste anyway

[Helbi]

Yes combination Falke vest and IdZ Trageweste looks good.

I'd not be surprised to hear if you invested more money into your "kit" than actual operators do.

@rex lupus:

• ditch your Hanwags. Meindl Glockner are KSK issue ("Expeditionsstiefel"), so no need to buy inferior Hanwags.
• Why not attach a Boeker Applegate to your Safariland platform and spray paint it?
• spray paint your helmet. Use issue NFM spray paint.
• Take the TQ off an attach at least 3 TQs to the backside of your M9 pack. Use "Fallschirmpackgummis" (rubber bands for parachute riggers).
• Get an Eagle/Arcteryx climbing harness and wear that underneath your "Schiessguertel".
• Also: as far as you're not out of ammo, don't pull mags from your "schiessguertel" (gun belt). They're considered last resort.
• is your Einsatzkampfbluse a 2nd version pre-production run? Came without a label? Telling by the fabric color scheme. It's lighter with the 2007 - issue ones.
• get the Lindnerhof MEDEVAC litter/stretcher. It comes with a Velcro backed MOLLE platform. They built these stretchers for German SF
• work on your stance.

Hanwags are also issue.

I don´t like it.

• spray paint your helmet. Use issue NFM spray paint.

The helmet is already painted.

• Take the TQ off an attach at least 3 TQs to the backside of your M9 pack. Use "Fallschirmpackgummis" (rubber bands for parachute riggers).

TQ´s attached on both sides of the M9. On the backside i carry my Flashbangs.

• Get an Eagle/Arcteryx climbing harness and wear that underneath your "Schiessguertel".

For every scenario?

• Also: as far as you're not out of ammo, don't pull mags from your "schiessguertel" (gun belt). They're considered last resort

This mag is for the "Wechselanschlag".

• is your Einsatzkampfbluse a 2nd version pre-production run? Came without a label? Telling by the fabric color scheme. It's lighter with the 2007 - issue ones.

My Einsatzkampfbluse is an issued "Scharrer" from 2008 like my trouser from.

• get the Lindnerhof MEDEVAC litter/stretcher. It comes with a Velcro backed MOLLE platform. They built these stretchers for German SF

Interesting

• work on your stance.

My stance is strong enough...

Thanks for Feedback.

Did you march with the Glockner? Do you think they use such boots every day? Where do you get this from?

[11BravoAlpha]

Yes. They're actually quite comfy. Glockner boots are not part of the Meindl military/LE series. Instead Meindl sells the as a part of the company's hunting boots series.

Calw bought Glockner boots as "Expeditionsstiefel". They might look like Hanwags (which are popular among German soldiers), though Calw bought Meindl boots either directly thru the Meindl company and/or thru AKAH. So, yeah: no Hanwags but Glockner boots in CW.

Also check pics that Seul published. You might as well call Germany's "Natick" BWB Koblenz.

[zulu261]

The Glockner are Cat. C. Made for crampons with a stiff sole. For most of the KSK tasks they arent even suitable if you ask me. I did not find them on any recent pics anyway.

I think they use a variety of boots, the Glockner may be one of them.
