Know a good website or resource for people interested in recreating Canadian military gear and equipment? Post it!

Couldn't Find an Official Website, however this place usually carries a lot of CDN Military Uniforms and such.
Beaver Surplus Been there a couple of times myself. .

all right if u didnt know the pre cadpat was called OD or olive drab it is still arguably the best cam out there along with the OD was the Webbing u can get all of this at any surplus store. Here is a great photo array of cad pat and pre-cad pat

Lots of guys also buy their own boots, either for medical reasons or personal choice, danners and matterhorns are the main ones I've seen guys have. Jungle boots are another option aswell.


Headwear
kevlar helmet with CADPAT cover(a ABS helmet an cadpat cover are a good an cheaper alternative than getting the real thing), optional stuff for helmet - helmet band, scrim net with or without scrim

CADPAT boonie hat

LBE-

Thats all I can think of right now

Everything I've listed is what I've seen an/or use myself.

ok and you know where i can buy this items?

McTaz

Surplus stores would carry most of the stuff (clothing, boots, helmet, LBE, rucksack, day/assault bag, hydration, sleeping bag, gloves/cold weather, etc..). The CADPAT boonie is harder to find (eBay?). Some items may be found online, like the British gloves.
Also, something to add into the rucksack category would be a British issue PLCE bergen. I nearly grabbed a Reg force blokes bag by mistake on the bus. And into the LBE category would be the Arktis 1601 Battlevest in OD.

www.ebay.com
www.dropzonetactical.com
www.sealsactiongear.com
www.davesarmysurplus.com

aswell as the websites mentioned by other people above

I found my boots at the local "Surplus" store (if you can call it that). Ironically enough, I use them everyday for work, steel toes, they're the "Tactical" model by Kodiak. Good boots, but be forewarned, they REALLY need to be broken in, and don't tie them up too tight (like I did for the whole first day I wore them). :banghead:

Some good all-round boots are the Naval Combat Boots (Terra Mercenaries). They're Goretex with Thinsulate lining, full leather outer, steel toes and thick soles (with the old-style jagged pattern).
I myself use the Prospector combat boots. Same as above, just without the steel-toe and they've got a deep-groved sole.

CP Gear

Alot of Canadian soldier use this if they need kit fast. Really cool stuff in here.

Cp gear dose have a few qualities issues thought But IMO for airsoft their good enough, it’s not really has if you life is depending on your gear.

Poking through this Canadian Forces wiki reveals a lot of information:

http://www.canadiansoldiers.com

Looking for CADPAT Boonies - eBay? Not too many Canadian Retailers actually sell them. I assume that Seals Action Gear and DropZone make their own versions, not 'issue'?

I have no idea about anything CADPAT, and I assumed that by now it would be a bit easier to obtain.

Now why would you want official CF gear anyways?

Words from a co-worker who's in the QOR.

actually i think i saw a cadpat boonie on CPgear now so they should be easier to obtain now

i can finally get rid of my OD boonie and have one that matches my bdu's:D

I've discovered this site: www.airsoftpatrol.com.
But I'm not sure if it's Canadian.

They sell airsoft and many accessories.
I'm interested in this helmet: http://www.airsoftpatrol.com/plastic-helmet-p-1131.html

Someone can tell me what he think about it?

Thx!!;)

it appears to be american go read the faq nd fill out your profile

Thx!

John, try any close surplus store. They sometimes have stuff like that. :p

...except surplus stores are hit and miss some have good stuff like that dude armyissue who sells pants others wont have so much as a decent pair of boots let alone have clue one what they are selling

prime example:
local surplus in my area advertises parade boots as combat boots

with the exception of a key few places i would not trust surplus stores

Well actually if the guy doesn't know what he's selling you may be able to get a real steal there. He might not know he's selling something awesome for pennies.

anyone know of a eurpoean website that has cadpat trousers in?

flecktarn.co.uk have cadpat in Eu but the colours are allittle bit wrong but works. i would recommend cpgear if you want Cadpat trousers.

I use them and i live in norway
