VKPO. Reviews
VKBO [old name of the kit. - approx.twower] was expected, or rather, that only staffed moths covered with paper dust were about to start issuing it. At that time, our division had some experience with membrane tissues, shoes, and other advanced synthetics. The people are motley, with their habits, preferences and prejudices. At that time, the subdivision used all sorts of slides from different manufacturers, HELIKON products, contract amerskom gear for unreasonable money, and of course the calling card of special forces and reconnaissance - Guerrilla suit from MTR.
And now, finally, the Motherland decided to pamper us with their nishtyak. What was incomprehensible from the very beginning, why are there velcro on combat form ?! This is a real garbage collector for prickles, grass, dirt in the fields. What is the meaning of chevrons on vole? Since 2009, we went without them and nothing. There is a formal and casual dress.
Again, epaulets on their shoulders. I will not articulate a personal relationship to either the old minister or the new, but the shoulder straps on his shoulders should be on full dress and everyday form, where they belong. The one who asked to return them on the shoulders obviously had not worn body armor, gas masks and commander bags for a long time. They do not need it on the combat form. It would be better to pocket on the lower legs under the individual dressing bag returned.
Well, okay, as it is, the main thing is that they finally give out a track! But here, bummer. Who told the guys with BTKgrupp that the size of the troops begin with 54? !!! [The author of the review was not aware that this Ministry of Defense ordered a large-sized form. - approx. twower] Really, with the 48-50, the most popular. I must say that this problem has been constant since 2009. Looking ahead, I will say that the people have enriched all the ateliers in the city, trying not to look like abortions. And at the beginning, suturing was strictly forbidden, then it was carried out almost by order.
Now let's go through the elements.
Summer suit + summer cap.
It was supposed to be an analogue of the bourgeois ACU, and eventually turned into a kind of symbiosis of household and everyday-ceremonial elements of clothing. It is worn wherever necessary and unnecessary, if you look at the tables on the toe, it is worn from + 15 and higher, and in real life everywhere, because in a headquarters or office a demi-season suit is not needed. In general, not bad, the space for soft inserts on the knees and elbows, the slings on the waist and the bottom of the leg, the successful fit of the sleeves, lightning - everything is as if in a theme. But a bunch of stickies to anything. Pockets on the chest would have left similar to the original, for their purpose would be to quickly get an IPP, a battery for a night light, or something else, to do this without removing the body armor, and not to wear another chest record book of firing or radiation doses. Field cap - it is also a “cap”, suitable; the visor is successfully chosen in size.
Of the minuses - you have to stitch in the old fashioned way. Command requires.
Windbreaker
Normal stuff. An alternative to a winter field jacket with no lining, which looks like a bag on fighters. There is no hood that is relevant for our type of troops. People prefer to wear over thermal underwear or fleece jackets. It is more comfortable.
Thermal underwear.
No complaints if your size. The second layer is different from the prototype for the better, since the zipper is closed, with the American one, over time, there is a rubbing around the Adam's apple.
Windproof suit.
The full assessment did not work, again because of the size. I got the smallest of what was: 54-56, with my 48-5. Wore a jacket, the stated characteristics match, places that are prone to abrasion, are protected well.
Fleece jacket.
Great thing. I have a similar product - Anapurna from the Survival Corps, authorized better, nicer and more comfortable, if you want. The throat is protected from rubbing as in the second layer.
The suit is demi-season.
Everyone likes great software. Conveniently tailored, moderately rain-proof, protected from dew, high grass and spines. Probably the most necessary element of the whole complex. There are no claims, except for the abundance of Velcro. In fact, the analogue of "Slides", but better. On durability: once they dragged 15 meters on arable land, neither gusts nor signs of abrasion. He got up, shook himself - handsome in the ranks, strong in bed as before.
Warmed vest.
Stuck good, no questions asked.
Cap mask
It is not clear why, with all this abundance of modern synthetics, it was necessary to make a thing of wool, from which you begin to itch after the third hour of socks. After the "Polite" season, no one dresses once again.
Warm suit.
Below -35 was not yet, in general, quite good, with the right combination with other layers it justifies itself.
Limited in mechanical strength, if you are going to crawl, it is better to wear a maskhalat on top.
[Answering the question of mechanical strength problems]: One of my colleagues burst a cross seam on the back.
Insulated cap.
Many are shocked by this novelty, for me it is so normal, the main thing is the properties, not the external form. The whole service was a mystery to me, why in -30 I have open ears, as was the case with the old hat. The new one is mainly worn in a ski way, because in a different way its appearance does not stand up to criticism.
Scarf.
It is impossible to say that a necessary thing, but not superfluous.
Gloves.
Also, as economic with pimples, consider disposable. Did not survive one piece of firewood.
Mittens.
Mittens are good, sort of, but sorry, the shore.
About shoes. At the moment, only winter boots are here.
Prior to this were similar from Faraday. Faraday is better, firstly, it is easier for a good half a kilo, and secondly, it is less cumbersome. BTKshnye felt like boots for the convenience of socks. And those, and others on moisture resistance and preservation of a thermal mode are quite worthy, not worse than the same Srispi.
[Answering my question about the rumors that the soles of shoes are badly taped and fall off]: While everyone is alive, there are no problems.
Modes socks.
It is worn by VKPO, then the old “figure” in the time ratio of 50 / 50 socks (from VKPO, summer and warmer suits are most commonly used). In the summer of VKPO almost nothing is worn. In the fields, for fear of damaging the kit, try to use the old form.
*****
Now let's talk about insanity. Until now, there is no order on how to wear WCPO, there is only the manufacturer's instructions. The commanders of the compounds on this instruction do not care, do not order the same. Therefore, for the sake of the principle “ugly but uniformly”, military personnel are obliged to wear the layers of the ICPD not according to the instructions, but in the way that the high authorities are comfortable with. What with the fact that at a temperature of, for example, 0 degrees, you must wear a demi-season suit and lower layers? Kombrig decides that the subordinates should have a summer suit and a suit that is warmed, because such a procedure was established during the time of the grandmother, “the sin of changing traditions”.
The incorrect wearing of VKPO can lead to yet another mass disease of personnel and new articles in the press, that the army was again dressed in what the hell. Dear Ministry of Defense, maybe it's time to stop stepping on a rake?
