CF Issued Junk

[421 EME]

OK troops let's hear it, what are the worst POS that the CF has issued you?  For me it's that junk they call raingear and the WW boots.

 

[Fraz]

TacVest,
Front end triad mounts for the C7,
Mags for BHP,
flexible straw for 2 qt canteen

Those combat boot covers, you know, the glossy zipper things. What a waste of cash. Oh, and the CF cripplers that we call issued sneakers. I went through 3/4 of my basic inspections before I realized I hadn't even tied the laces for inspection.

There is an issued flex straw for this? I thought the only ones where the after market ones provided at the temple of Wheelers.

Personally for me, the 'sleeping bag' hood.

Mag bra for the C2.

The first generation OD Cdn poncho liner (1989), which used rain gear material instead of a more useful fabric.

Insulated thermal OD skull cap for use on the old M1 steel skid lid.


Cheers,

Wes

The ballistic eye ware for me, I am sure they provide excellent protection, but fogging and sand paper style scratches are inevitable.
