Not right now I can't :x, and you do realise the intention for this is a female issued with a luftie canister ;) am sat at Che's mom in the lap of luxury whilst the kids have a bubble bath :lol: my pics are all at home so can't access them from here :roll:

As said before I put it on this post rather than start a post about female kit that no fluffer would answer :oops: :lol: will see if I can google the pst link :twisted:

I asked this not so long ago, heres kermits reply then about options ;)

Boots. You have two choices. High leg on their own, or low boots with gaiters (commonly seen on late-war FJ's). For high legs, the first generation Brit BCH (Boots, Combat, High) are a decent enough approximation) For low boots, search around for something thats preferably rough-side out, but no toecaps.

These are the ones I've bought and are grade 2 for £10. All the stuff from there is grade 2.

This I believe is a sister site to the one above as they're pretty similar. They do grade 1 & 0 stuff. The High legs are grade 1 as it says. Postage from both is £7.50. I've used the-outdoor before and they were pretty good.

Well 0 are new, 1 is as new but used & 2 is good but worn. I can't comment exactly until I receive mine, never bought any grade 2 before but imagine they will be in fairly decent nick.

Gas mask canisters WERE used...but it would be unusual. By the time they would be used few would have carried gas masks in them anyways though.

Jay,nothing to do with your Swede-its a common problem with repro FJ lids im afraid :(

Lyndon ones look good but have never used one so unfortunately cannot comment

Good Luck

The problem is they only make repro shells in one size.

Aye, size 71. Which is HUGE.

Regarding Barry's liners, yup, they don't sit high enough either. The *only* ones i've found that sit nicely are the Deepeeka ones. Sadly, they ain't available seperately and the shell they sit in is a total pile of poo.

in my frustration of looking like i have a bowler hat on and my missus and kids wetting themselves with laughter i cut the liner along the centre stitching to about 1 1/2" from each edge and it fits lovely now.

My thoughts exactly. I got mine last week but forgot to say so. I wore mine up the woods at the weekend, very comfy. A damn sight less painfull than breaking in new ones. :blink:
