What clothing is worn by the british forces currently?
What is the name / type of clothing worn by british soldiers now (what is the current issue) - is it still soldier 95 or has that been updated now? I want to get hold of some Army issue clothing as I figure it is harder wearing and cheaper than normal walking gear. Sorry, further details. I mean the OG trousers (rarely seen these days) and the smocks and shirts etc - is it still soldier 95? Plus what are the standard issue combat boots? That's what I need to know.

- Google in Army surplus UK you can get temperate climate combat kit or desert pyjamas.
- I think they wear camo
- Desert camo.
- Combat 95 (CS95) UK or desert - same pattern. Depends maybe No2 Dress (parade kit) or Guards Regiments have No1 Dress (Red kit for Guards) basically depends on duty you need to do - No1, No2, No 14...... lots of numbers - C95 looks like cr$p - old kit Lts Wts, Shirt OD was better in barracks - but new kit CS95 is not good - come back puttees !
- Issue SAS kit is good stuff I doubt it changed much since I wore it, In cold weather I used Patt.68 combats the best ever made you could probally still get them gavering dust at the back of some Army Surplus shop. Another option for you is US M65 kit well made and very hard wearing it comes in many flavours including black used by SWAT plenty on eBay. Forget Issue boots they are better I have been told but still poor, best hard wearing reasonably prices boots are Hi Tec Magnums full leather beat Danner hands down.
