[John Nayduk]

In cse you‘re interested.  Would be nice if all the serving guys got theirs before the stuff starts getting sold.

Isn‘t that illegal?

 

[John Nayduk]

Hope it is, but do we have enough MPs to do something about it?

 

[dano]

I‘ll just tell you one thing.

I won‘t be the one buying it!

the other times people have sold genuine cadpat off ebay they were charged

 

[Slumsofsackville]

I saw a cadpat vest for sale b4, nato stocked.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

Who charged them and how did they find out?

 

[Hert]

That could be the "fake" cadpat. It is manufactured from the roll ends of the real material, however, it does not have any of the "technology" that the issue clothing has.

Hopefully, for the seller and the buyer, it is no the genuine article.

fake Cadpat has different buttons and No velcrow for the canada flag or nametags. The Cadpat from wheelers are not CF usable, becuase different pockets, gotta sew on your name tags ETC.

What is for sale on Ebay is real.

 

[Franko]

I agree with Robert...they‘re the same as the ones in my closet.

Find him/her and charge ‘em.

I‘ve seen tons of CADPAT for sale on ebay, you can get the new tactical vests, uniforms, helmet covers, helmets, etc if you look around.


Where are these people getting this stuff from though?

 

[Franko]

Probably a leak in the supply chain. Can‘t see it being a soldier who is actually responsable for his kit. At least not in that quantity.

[Scoobie Newbie]

Def. supply side.

 

[Tpr.Orange]

its deffinatley a fake because the real ones are illegal to sell. and filtering throught the supply chain is extremly difficult and stupid

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

The fabric to make them is not easy to aquire either.

 

[Evan]

It is a fake, i have the ecaxt one in my closet right now. its based on the old olive fatigues but made in cadpat.

 

[Scoobie Newbie]

How is it fake? It looks like the one I‘m wearing right now.

 

[Franko]

Ummm. no. They are not fake. At least the ones I saw on Ebay were‘nt.

As for the fabric...sold to only one company, and they are only bolt trimings.

As for the one‘s in your closet hawain light..those are out there too.

They‘re probably fake since selling real CADPAT is illegal.

There are many places where you can buy fake CADPAT. Like this store:

http://www.sealsactiongear.com/

I wouldn‘t worry too much since the only way of getting real CADPAT is by someone who was in the CF.

Apparently a lot of surplus stores are under investigation by the MPs for selling real cadpat. I know it‘s illegal to sell it, but is it illegal to own it if you‘re a civvie? Some of my buddies are into the whole ‘army pants and combat boots‘ look, and are wondering if they‘ll get in sh!t if they get caught with the real stuff.
