Same for the socomstore, they pretty much just carry generic tactical gear.

SEALs use a variety of gear for different situations, you need to be more specific in what you are looking for.

But for load carrying equipment, they quite often use London Bridge Trading gear, or stuff from the Eagle MLCS lineup, as well as a large variety of other stuff, again, you need to be more specific so someone who wants to help you can be more specific

They use cheaper equipment as well, but you need to have an idea of what your looking for, perhaps a picture that you want to emulate.

Lots of TAG gear in use by them as well ;)

Ebay is a great place to find stuff once you know what pieces of gear you're looking for. You just have to be careful, because when it comes to Ebay, even "MilSpec" airsoft gear gets labelled as "As used by Navy Seals!!"...so know what you're buying!

What SEALs use is generally based upon where they are located in the US. If their unit's home is closer to the West Coast, then you'll see them using a lot of Blackhawk, TAG, and even some BDS. If it looks like BDS but has black edgetape, then it's probably original SOE stuff.

The guys on the East Coast are generally use stuff from LBT. Eagle gear is used, but doesn't see as much use as the other brands. Not that it shouldn't though. Eagle gear is great.

Please enlighten us as to what you base this on.

No shit...I've got stuff from as far as the UK...it's not like a landmass would stop the shipping companies from delivering to someone...

Unless SEALs are poor.

SEAL gear is almost absolutely non-existant, because it varies every time, they never use the exact same gear twice, but I can see what you're getting at, everyone wants to look like a SEAL when it comes to military simulations.

I'd love to help point it out, but I'm not gear expert, but I think you're out of luck when it comes to getting a specific SEAL layout.

1. Non-existant? wtf? there is plenty of stuff they 'regularly' use like LBT riverines.

2. I doubt everyone wants to look like a SEAL, though they do have a large fan base.

3. He is certainly not out of luck for getting a specific SEAL layout, all he has to do is find a SEAL picture he wants to emulate and copy all the gear. Since the War on Terror began there have been plenty of publicly available SEAL pictures.

Try watching the movie NAVY SEALS. Lotsa good kit used there and it's all easily ID'ed.

That is early 90s kit, not that there is anything wrong with it, but post late 90s and 9/11 gear is very different.

I dunno yuxi, if you skip the store name, they do stock Eagle and Spec-Ops stuff...


All they're missing are the tac-flops. :D

Holy aerodynamic tactical gear with splinters Batman!

I'd buy those...and then clip-clop around trying to get someone.
