Hull_9 10 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I don't know if other forces use this, but we have a white material slip with velcro fastening pouches. You take your armour plates out of your uniform stabby and put them into the covert one. Trouble is, that even with Chief Inspector's authority our Stores will not part with them for specials. Does anyone know where you can buy them or does anyone have one for sale? I know Niton999 do them, but they charge about £60, which doesn't seem worth it to me.

MrBlonde 206 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Surely if you are going on an op where they decide you need a covert vest, then they'll issue them, other wise they won't. Why do you want one anyway? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the Chief's authority then I'd say that's enough - get an email sent on your behalf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Scotts 47 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You have never dealt with stores then... :D Then you move to plan B. Rob the store! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am hardly going to state on here why I want a covert vest. And no, stores are very odd and even with a Chief Super's authority in writing, will often not issue kit.

Not quite what I was getting at. If you have an operational NEED for one, and the CC gives authority too, stores aren't in a position to refuse. Suggest you take it up with someone above the stores man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave SYP + 2,961 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Sounds like someone in your STORES is a bit anti-special? :D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew iom + 0 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 So is anyone going to answer the original question? I'm sure that after two anda half years, he has either managed to get one from Stores, bought his own, or given up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I am in the same boat now and I am finding myself needing one. Any suggestions where I can get a cheap one from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbs 220 Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I'd look at 'airsoft' sites, you can probably get one cheap with dummy plates and swap them out with the ones from your overt vest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
