Was wondering if any serving officers on here have seen or know of any good web site for accouterments.
I are looking at stick proof gloves and nylon rig belts...
I will probably be doing a large group order of more then 15... any ideas beside wellington surplus.
Cheers
PS i added a poll...
PPS thank mod for moving the post!

I have bought a bit of gear from the above site with no probs, you can also try Wellington Surplus in the City, they are pretty good too.
I personally like leather gear as it looks better, but Nylon is lighter however I have never used it.
I think you should have either all Nylon or all basket weave leather though, dont mix and match.
Cheers

Whats wrong with the leather ones you get issued?
Only problem on getting good search gloves is that after searching a couple of ferals on the trains you will want to throw them out, they will get blood and vomit or a mixture of both on them.
We get issued search gloves and can get them replaced when needed.
