Pssst, wanna see some SEAL gear?

A good friend of Strike-Hold! recently gave us a look behind the secret door and a chance to get a grope of some genuine high-speed SEAL gear…

Mystery Ranch rucksack

Unidentified chest rig

Beyond Clothing combat uniform

Crye Precision tactical trousers

Wild Things Tactical nylon wind-proof system

Wet and Cold Weather protective clothing

By the way, don’t ask – none of it is for sale.

I’m not going to lie- I instantly went to WT Tactical to check out their soft shell jackets. They look great!

Sadly, I have to say that we’ve heard from a truly well-qualified, real-deal expert that the chest rig does not appear to be an authentic issue item.

The “packable soft shell suit” from Wild Things you mention is actually a nylon wind system. Super light, wind and water proof. Search “wind shirt wt 1.0” on the website. They are available to buy in MULTICAM, but not the Navy pattern shown above. Impossible to purchase Navy digital – for SEAL only.

  Cheers – thanks for the clarification. That makes a lot more sense, as that’s how it felt, but I didn’t know the actual name of it.

  Yep, that’s what we all reckoned – but there aren’t any labels, and an expert industry source I know says that the buckles and the zip is wrong….. so who knows.

Not for sale? Not even for (pinkie to corner of pretty mouth) ONE. MILLION. DOLLARS?

Seen those LBT rig in AOR color for $1,500 on mEgay. Sure would be a shame if those buyers weren’t getting their money’s worth….

“Strike-Hold!” is the motto of the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment of the US Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, in which I served during the 1980’s. It also seemed like a fitting name for a site dedicated to all things related to elite forces, special operations units – and gear, operations and history. Whether you’re real-deal or milsim this is the place to be.
