Don't worry, I won't rat out non-CF dudes wearing CADPAT to the meatheads lol.

They actually stopped listing the dress turban on everyone's Logistic profile after there was a run on them. I forget the exact figures, but there are few few people in the CF who legitimately wear turbans as part of their dress uniform, and wayyyy too many people were ordering them for shits and giggles. Now you have to go to your OR and have them put a request in to Logistic to have it added to your profile.

There's a CANFORGEN from 2002 that deals with this if anyone wants to dig it up, but I'm not at work.
Nothing new really, mostly what's been said by Kokanee and others.

This CANFORGEN has already been covered time and time again. Can't really understand why we keep flogging this expired equine. Foreign nationals looking to acquire CADPAT kit can go suck it. Solicit on other forums but don't expect help here.

Don't worry when MultiPat comes out there will be floods of surplus relish.

Wait, I've already said to much, red berets are outside the door, signing off,,,

I know this thread is old but certain people are allowed to sell cadpat to civilians and I'm almost certain their cadpat isn't effective vs infra red therefore allowed to sell it

WRT to clothing, you are referring to "factory seconds" material that is identified as having defects before the IR dip part of the production process. This material is indeed sold to a select group of gear manufacturers to be turned into products for unrestricted sale.

WRT gear and accessories, there is a "good ole boys" list of manufacturers whom take CADPAT cordura and turn it into pouches and the like, again for unrestricted sale. IE: Wheelers.

Not really worth bringing this dead thread back to life... but whatev's.....
