PURCHASED A FEW & COMING BACK FOR MORE, GREAT ADDITION TO MY WW2 SAN MARCO MARINES UNIFORM

GOT SEVERAL & RETURNED FOR MORE

A very high quality hydration bladder and pouch. Whilst the pouch was in good condition it had been noticeably used, but the bladder and hose was brand new, still in the plastic!

The great thing about this is that you can either use it as a standalone pack with 3 liters of water able to keep you going for some light hiking or you can unclip the shoulder straps and tuck them behind the pouch itself and use the buckles on each of the corners to attach the pouch to any hiking pack with MOLLE webbing or any similar attachment points. This means you can run the hydration pack on the outside, without taking up any space inside the pack itself!

The bladder itself is very sturdy and the guard on mouth piece keeps out the sand and dirt!

Definitely considering buying another!

Put on my plate carrier, perfect for carrying maps, phone and notepad & pen. Great for any Section Commanders.

Awesome and high quality print. Perfect length and correlation with chest build. Great sleevedom to move around; which is very important.

Highly recommended :)

Bloody great value for money. Just received my "..Other Arms Rucksack" and I'm sure it will outlast ME by a long shot. All the straps, buckles, zips and sewing on mine are unflawed though well used.
The side pouches are massive and when zipped off they reveal 'belt' loops on the back which means you could use them in their own right separately from the rucksack.
Mine had the aluminium 'frame/brace' in place, which I don't need. Removing them means I have 3 full length compartments inside the pack, the obvious main one, a second 'open topped' one (On a smaller pack it would be the laptop pocket.) which is almost as deep as the pack is tall and then the third one which was where the brace was and the top of that can be securely closed with velcro and studs.
All the velcro on the pack retains great stickablity, which was a pleasant surprise. I purchased the pack as my 'carry on' and 'daily exploration' pack for an upcoming trip to Europe. Without the side pouches attached it will fit that bill nicely...particularly because you can cover the backpack strapping entirely for carrying on trains, planes and buses.
The zips are all large and heavy duty. The main zip for closing the top of the pack has a 'rain cover' that naturally covers the zip when it is zipped shut.
This thing has a LOT of space inside, far more than I will need in Europe but always nice to have spare space 'just in case'.
I am delighted with the purchase, I think I got astonishing value for money and my German Shep loved all the new smells that came as we unpacked it for the first time.

IMHO the best utility pouch. the size is right - not too small, not too large. fits all sorts, including mobile phone or square or kidney shaped canteens, or stuff u want at hand, torch, snacks etc. cover & interior well weather proofed. velcro & snap fastening are handy. MOLLE/PALs fastens well to MOLLE or webbing belts. MTP is not obtrusive & fits with black or OD gear. What is not to like?

Great product and awesome customer service. Thank you guys very much!👍

This is a well built shirt made from a light material, great for walking in the Sun and beautiful condition. The Union Jack on the sleeve is still vibrant and the camouflage isn't weared greatly. Would recommend to anyone considering purchasing this.

The boots I received are quite literally as new. I think they look and feel great and as with virtually everything I have purchased from A&O, quality and delivery times are fantastic.
However, the size I purchased (UK8) is unfortunately quite tight across the bridge of the foot and quickly becomes painful to wear. I have persevered in trying to wear them in, hoping they will stretch, but to date after about 8 hours of wear, they are still tight and uncomfortable across the bridge - I guess in someways that is a testimony to their quality, that they are not going to stretch anytime soon.
I always purchase UK8 and seldom ever experienced shoes/boots being too tight, but I guess that is one of the risks when you cannot try something on before purchase. In hindsight I should have gone for a UK8.5 (possibly even a UK9) as I think that would have been the perfect fit for me and I'm almost tempted to buy another pair (in a larger size) as I really do like these boots.

These canteens are so practical, they are made of a tough plastic like the British canteens but being so slim, they fit into a jacket pocket. The cup is a useful size to drink from, not being too large like most canteen cups. This is my go to canteen and cup for walks and day trips. Tough as but so easy to take anywhere and so practical to use the cup as a pot to boil your water.

Fast response, shipping. Great original military surplus. Very happy with the Belgian UN M1 helmet.

My helmet came with a belgian flag on both the helmet and the liner and looks pretty much brand new besides 4 or so minor scratches. 100% recommend if you want a good quality, good condition M1 helmet

I recently purchased this Belgian steel M1 helmet, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The helmet arrived promptly and was exactly what I had hoped for – a high-quality piece with a smooth textured shell with the Belgian flag in fair condition of both the shell and the inner liner.

Ok- so I’ve had these for about one year so I think I can give an honest review. I bought them when they were on special- about$7 Australian,At first they felt a bit weird because they are tight, but over time they’ve outworn all my other underwear- even Plus Ones which were meant to be top quality. They are absolutely brilliant for wearing under swimmers in the ocean , no sign of any chaffing or rubbing, and they are great for any clothing- except really short pants because they will stick out the bottom. Best underwear I’ve had, time to get some more
