Oh dear, now where, comrades, are my manners!

I had an order come a while back, and another is already on the way! This order contained very rare winter suit. However, next order will contain the true treasures of the Soviet army! ;) ;)

The uniform you posted is pretty much US woodland. IF you're on a movie budget, and don't really care for accuarcy, use a US woodland BDU. Will be cheaper. Slap any random Russian unit patch on there, wear a balaclava and you're good to go.

Why would you waste money on Russian boots though?

They seemed about as Expensive as work boots, so I just threw them in. Could just run to Marks Work Warehouse and pick up a pair there too I guess. Just, a soldier of any army wearing runners wouldn't be too good looking :p

If I could find a full Tigerstripe uniform, I woulda gone for that, but then again, doesn't look much like the Brush in the forrests round here. That was another factor in choosing the pattern I did. I'll take a look for the US BDUs. Thanks :)

To the guy above me - That fur looks damn comfortable! :O

Sorry mate, but this is fake... I don't know what is that...definately it has nothing common with soviet winter uniform ever..

HET!

Set is real! This is 'Arktika' set. It is like standard winter mabuta except this blue/grey shade was designed for European operations.

Factory stamps prove jacket is from 1977, but I cannot read what fur factory, izvinyi.

Photos of it's use in Soviet times are very hard to find, I have only a couple photos of its use in Chechnya, I will provide:

it looks like something for exploration geologists or for builders in Siberia :-)

A set like this would definently have been used in those situations too! =)

By the way, in a couple more days I will be posting another special winter set!!

Flipped the image (thats why "77" looks fucked up).

So, who else on here has a rex-design vest? Do you shove a petite water bladder in the buttpack,
or do you try and jam water bottles in both pouches on either side of it?

I have a rex, but its a 6sh92, and I also have no idea of what you speak up? water bottles in pouches?

BYF, 6Sh-92 is not Rex Design, it's made by the Russian MOD for the Russian Armed Forces, 'army issue' if you'd like. Rex Design only makes one type of vest, which is almost a copy of the ANA V-95, I have one in blue kamysh.

redmond, the back pockets are for spare items and/or mags, if you have a group of people with the same vest in a squad, you can put spare mags in the two smaller back pouches for others to grab off you. The big back pouch I really don't know what its for, I guess you can throw anything you want in there.

You are correct. Lol. Not sure what I was thinking.

That's what i figured. I managed to squeeze two 74 mags in the smaller pouches, and 1 canteen in the bigger pouch.
W/e, i'm pretty sure i'll be able to find some type of water bottle that will fit in the smaller pouches.

Thanks for the info.

I'll post up some pics once i have the rest of the gear.
