I have been getting some inquiries about how well the gear is doing, so wanted to post a quick update.
The Camelback BFM is fantastic! Quite a few carry them over here, and it has been great. I highly recommend it.
The Wiley CQC Goggles are okay, but there are fogging issues even with all the no-fog treatments. The First Sergeant has shown me some options, both Wiley and other, that I plan to investigate for later use. All such will have to wait until I return home. The one thing I do like about them is how quickly I can change out the protective lenses, as it makes it fairly painless to do. The downside is having to find a home for the spare insert.
I was not quite as happy with the Tactical 5.11 flame resistant pants in that they don’t appear to be as rugged as I want, since they also have to be used for more than just flying. The mock turtleneck flame resistant shirt has been very good, however.
More on the vest (vest great, carrier may change), my Tactical Tailor vest (very nice), and other stuff later.
