Hi Pete, welcome to the forum.
Your in the right place for information about clothing/kit/weapons etc.
Please remember, it's not about having all the kit etc before an event - it's about taking part in events. You can beg and borrow stuff that you maybe don't have.
Anyway, glad you've landed here.

Yep - I've got pretty much full Brit kit I can lend you, Pete.
