Hey cactussy one... You know, I should buy one of those "Face" Facemasks and do it up in ARPAT, lol. Then you can be completely arpat

Not to offend anyone, but for some reason I just cannot stand seeing someone wear ACU with a patrol Cap.. I know helmets are hard to come by, and I guess cumbersome for those not in the military. I don't mean to be rude at all, what people do with their own kit is there own, but to me it looks wrong, and obviously, no-one would be in FFO but with a patrol cap.

Why? It keeps them camouflaged and they're not exactly worried about shrapnel.

I am just saying, as far as mil sim goes, a patrol cap is no substitute for a helmet. And in real life, no-one wears their patrol cap to fight with. It doesn't happen in real life, so it just looks wrong in airsoft. People can do what they want though, and I'm not going to harp, just looks wrong. Not going to pull a "MikeL" here. No offense Mike

Could you explain to me the proper use for the patrol cap then?

Rangers That's who.

I was just going to post the wiki to the patrol cap... xD

Its just a utility headdress which is tactical, meaning it is able to be worn on patrols, Recce etc. It would be like us in the CF wearing a tactical baseball cap out in the open on operation.

So who's to say that during a milsim you're on patrol when then ambushed?

That's who wears a patrol cap.

Glad I could answer your question.

Ex, if you are telling me that rangers will substitute their helmet for the patrol cap on operation in broad daylight, in a threat environment, just to look like rangers. Then YOU, are sadly mistaken, and clearly do NOT know what you are talking about, do not post random pictures, you have know idea the circumstances behind the picture.

And you're creating a specific circumstance to aid your argument. There is a time and place for different needs in a uniform/armor.
