Greetings to everyone from the Philippines, as I’m a new user who’s making this very post on this 2-month old thread that I wanted to resurrect because I’ve been eyeing on this one for a good while, I’m unsure if it’s okay for me to do this, but if it isn’t, then I’m sorry, I’m sure that others may agree that this shouldn’t go to waste.
Although I may have nothing else to contribute to this thread, except some of the few item suggestions that could as well match and likely spice up the loadout, I may as well have some questions to ask in here.
01 - Some of the WCKD soldiers are currently issued with TRU-SPEC ACUs (Army Combat Uniform) patterned in ATACS-LE (which is unfortunately discontinued, and I’m having a hard time trying to find the jacket, so I got no choice but a combat shirt, but the pants I already got it down), is it still viable if I were to go for an A-TACS LE-X patterned combat apparel, including GEN2 combat shirt (
GEN 2 IMPROVED DIRECT ACTION SHIRT - UR-TACTICAL) and Advanced Fast Response Pants (
ADVANCED FAST RESPONSE PANTS - UR-TACTICAL) from UR-Tactical?
Edit 01 : I did find a complete A-TACS LE ACU set from DLP Tactical, still unsure if they’re legit :
A-TACS LE BDU Combat Pants + Jacket Set 65/35 Poly/Cotton Rip Stop
My opinion : Although I do love the way how WCKD soldiers have themselves equipped for the specific environments they’re going to be deployed in, I don’t really like having proprietary external elbow pads and knee pads worn over my clothing due to trapping heat and then causing hotspots and likelihood of trouble in mobility wise, which I’m thinking, perhaps ditch the external ones and opt for ones that will accept internal padding, like Crye or UR-Tactical style, modernizing their loadout to an extent.
For plate carriers/body armor, I have seen some of them wearing the 5.11 TacTec plate carrier which is also acceptable, would be cool to have one.

Gloves, it is correct that they’re wearing the Oakley SI Assault gloves in black, though I wouldn’t exactly recommend it due to some QC issues, including the quality of the leather material they’ve used for the glove sort of dropped a bit, or in layman’s terms, they don’t last as long as the older pairs formerly used by most soldiers. Other alternative hard knuckle tactical gloves I could recommend is the Lancer Tactical hard knuckle gloves, though as I looked them up just minutes ago, unfortunately they’re good as out of stock, and my other alternative one has to be a Chinese copied one, you may lose some accuracy in this, but it’s worth a better budget and durability sacrifice as well, and if you’re buff or just fairly slim, the wrist closure is still adjustable.

Boots, this one’s already been answered, as it’s the Under Armour one, though I am a little disappointed at them for not having the right size for my feet, as my other alternatives would be likely aimed towards Bates, (
5" Tactical Sport Boot) and Merrell. (
