Interesting (and not surprising) that government issued kit wasn't as good as what the soldiers could devise for themselves. Thanks for the post. |

Quite a few pics out there with them in jeans. |

Those fellas and other elite units have a tendency to wear non-regulation gear. Then the special law enforcement units like SWAT or whatever acronym that train with them mimic the look. Next thing you know you see low top converse, jeans and Hawaiian print shirts… |

Don't forget the pantyhose as an anti-leech measure… ;-) |

"the pantyhose as an anti-leech measure… " Would think it would work against that parasite which swims up your penis when you pee in the water. Or is that South America? |

I've read that it's actually a small fish that does that (and it is in S.A.) I'd be tucking things in pretty tight if I expected to be wading through a swamp anyway… ;-) |

Do remember wearing jeans a few times (but no pantyhose) LOL ! CAP units got a bit loose and wild at times :) |

Clothing made of wool or nylon is a difficult obstacle for leeches. Because they move by flicking, but on these materials, they can't move more than 10cm. Wolfhag |
