Military & Outdoor Kit Suppliers

With the exception of the first two entries, this is an alphabetical listing of suppliers of military and general outdoor gear, many of which are used and recommended by our players. For convenience the nationality of the company is at the beginning of each entry, so you can see how far your kit would be coming, and what the postage might possibly cost you.
When buying kit, remember that since the player conference of 2008, MultiCam™ is the official uniform and kit pattern for U.N. Marines, and that other nationalities kit, including British, is for use by Non-Player Characters (NPC), aka the bad guys ONLY.

However, if you e-mail them with your list of requirements, they'll get back to you very quickly with quotations for sea and air freight. They despatch your order quite quickly and are extremely helpful when you speak to them on the phone".
