I checked it out, they're just a distributor for the regular brands like Propper and 5.11 etc. Thanks tho. It may have been that way before.

I don't know if anyone will know what I mean by this, but the coveralls had that distinctly "Canadian" look to it if you know what I mean. If anyone has ever seen what the CF Military Police pants or Commissionaire pants look like, and even the new NCD pants too. it looked like that but a jumpsuit. Like no brand logo (my pants say TROUSERS, NAVAL COMBAT, FIRE RESISTANT. and that's it) The pockets and layout were just simple and effective.

Most Canadian contractors nowadays have just a factory, and the CF goes to them and asks for a basic item, no flare. Its downright cheap, because just having a brand name can skyrocket a price. Even when the CF buys a brand named item contract, they never buy anything off the shelf. Like the Elcan scopes we have now. You won't find that exact type for retail, the closest is the SpectreOS 3.4x mag with a battery powered adjustable day/night reticule.http://www.elcansightingsystems.com/...bat_sights.php
The C79 is a 3.4x mag with an unadjustable tritium reticule.

Whining aside, its probably the cheapest piece of kit on them, and JTF2 definitely asked specifically for T-rex pockets. I bet you there would be a significant drop in effectiveness if those pockets were removed. That or if the Timmies near Trenton was closed down ; )
