I'm looking for photos of the Air Force's 'Gore-Tex' ICE jacket. If anyone has any, could they please either post them here, or email them to me?
Thanks!
Thanks!
GO!!! said:PViddy is right, there is an AF specific jacket with concealable reflective tape on it, and a raincoat, which must be air force specific, because no - one in the cbt arms has one :rage:
No luck on finding a picture of one though.
Strike said:Actually, the rumour out of Gagetown was that the Army will be getting them too. I guess one of the kit shops in Winnipeg was selling them -- they bought them straight from the dealer. A kit shop in Gagetown was looking into buying them as well and were told they were not allowed as it was going to be issued to the Army as well.
They're a nice piece of kit, but the pants make alot of noise, so not too good when you're trying to be stealthy.

Armyvern, quick question for you as you work in QM on base here.. ( I think I know who you are, trying to nail it down). We have one of our DP1 soldiers that just graduated, he has a green version of what looks like the current ICE jacket that the guys from Pet and Edmonton seem to have. It has the fuzzy hand warming pockets, the upper left arm pocket with velcro cover, the dwon zippering posckets and all the other goodies. How did he get this? I know he had the 70's "stud" jacket before that, is it a lack of availability for the new style green goretex or is it something "new" we might be seeing?
/thread hijack done

The air force all have goretex raincoats already, and around here we still need a note from the CDS to get pockets on our sleeves... :crybaby:
