I have been watching a few of the Alpha Charlie Consepts-videos and one of them made me wanting the smock in the title. So after ordering and receiving the smock I was a bit baffled. I thought they all had mesh liner but my came with fabric liner. So I started a thread on bushcraftuk.com to ask for help. Got the answer that I had got the lates model. They canceled the mesh because it did not hold up so good. Another change is that the handwarmer pockets with fleece now have zippers to close them. Guess it helps keeping most of the rain out of pocket. Finally a couple of photos of my smock.  image hosting over 10mbcertificity.com image upload no resizecertificity.com |

Thank you! Another thing that Alpha Charlie Consepts "made me" order was the tactical operator pullover jacket from 0214 tactical. Seems like a really handy piece of clothing. I ordered mine in a-tacs ix camo. Three photos showing what a typical forest looks like in my area.    My outdoor clothing consist of finnish M05 camo and british DPM and now the MTP smock. So if there is need for darker camo the 0214 pullover jacket in IX camo is easy to put on over existing layer. <topbtn>TOP<topbtn></topbtn></topbtn> |

panzer,
That's every army throughout history, isn't it?
I'm sure there were Roman Legionaires that ran into the same issue!
The more things change, the more they remain the same!

Interesting!
Maybe you can tell us - in a different thread, obviously - what things are like in Finland. What are the gun laws like? Is Finnish defense strategy still based on UW? That sort of thing...

Bought it from a local (finnish) web shop. www.erareppu.kotisivukone.com/tuotteet.html?id=29/302Funny thing, they don´t tell much anything about the jacket, except that it is british MTP PCS and as new. So ordering was a bit of a shot in the dark about what would I get. uwgear.proboards.com/post/14908Sorry, I don´t have anything to do with guns so I´m not familiar with finnish gun laws. Only thing I know they are strict. Self defence with guns are not allowed and also concealed carry is not allowed, only exception is those who need it because of their occupation like bodyguards etc. Our gun laws are almost as in Great Britain but not quite so strict as theirs. What UW means I do not know but our defence is based on conscripts. |

Thanks herman30!
I'm surprised that a country with a history like Finland doesn't allow citizens to own firearms for self defense.
UW stands for Unconventional Warfare meaning guerrilla/partisan warfare. I understand that most Scandinavian countries are oriented toward territorial defense. At the point where the regular forces are suppressed or defeated is there a plan in place for further resistance?
