US Airborne kit ?

Devonshire Trooper · 2007-06-06T07:20:43Z

I want to make a late war 82nd Airborne load out before i go for the more expensive British Airborne loadout. But Airborne kit as we know is expensive but i was wandering what you could use as a substitute at a lower cost, i have found these US M65 Field Jackets they look quite similar to the later period Airborne Jakets (the green ones) i was wandering if these would be acceptable, as well as using US lightweight trousers. if they would work as airborne uniforms the other thing is where do i get US webbing from, Jump Boots and an Airborne Helmet.http://www.surplusandadventure.com/isho ... r1044.html... 08561.html

It's by Gordon Clan helmets, they make them really well. The only thing wrong with them is the sweatbands, he has to use the original ones but they're only
