I have had my eye on the HSGI suspenders for a while now. If the trucker ones I ordered don't work out i am going to break down and order a pair. I priobably should have just ordered the HSGI's first and then I would not have spent just as much cash on the 3 pairs of crappy ones. The trucker ones from Duluth trading look cool though because they attach at the sides rather than the back and have good
quality clips.

For BDU's etc I like Propper. They are kind of half way between the high end stuff like eagle and Tag and the made in china cheapies. I have a black BDU top I use on the bike and it is awesome. I also really like the old Canadian issue green pants.
I especially like the 70's era canadian gear from when they still used natural materials like Canvas, leather and especially wool as it wears a 100% better than synthetics.

A lot of times a good combo of military issue and modern high quality outdoors gear is cheaper and better or at least as good as the best quality tactical gear.

I also have to say thanks to all the reservists because now you can get Canadian army gear in 3XXXL <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> When I worked at the surplus store we got a box of the helicopter pilots nomex jumpsuits and they were all 48 waists or bigger. No wonder they are having so much trouble with the sea kings it's a wonder they can lift off.
