The SEAL SMOCK is a fucking fantastic piece of kit. Problem is, they're so backlogged in supply it's retarded. I ordered one about two years ago, and was told it'd take 6-8 months to get to me....then they never fulfilled the order (or billed me, so I didin't mind). Granted, they were outfitting PPCLI and RCR at the time, so I'm told.

In the meantime, I aquired an Air Force Goretex suit in Cadpat, which is better than the smock in my opinion - same cut, almost the same design, but it's Gore Tex. I heard they're making their way into the Army supply lines now, but for some retarded reason the air force gets all the gucci shit first...must be rough sitting in a fucking hangar under those harsh combat AME conditions.....laff.

SEALS don't sell those qwear anoraks - they sell a special smock they designed themselves:
http://sealsactiongear.com/catalog/s...l/SE1006TW.jpg

and the blurb on their website says:
The 4.1 version of the smock is made using authentic Canadian Forces 65/35 NYCO Twill CADPAT TW (much more durable than the standard Combat Cloth used for combat uniforms), which is treated with Quarpel for excellent wind and water resistance. It is also specifically designed with Canadian Forces' personnel in mind, and includes a rank epaulet on the front, velcro brassard keeper/flag patch on the left shoulder, and velcro strip for the name tag above the right chest pocket.

That's different from the one they used to have. I recall their having a cheaper crappier one a couple years ago. A couple guys on the team have the anorak, it's junk. Explains why they don't wear them. ;)

There is a big difference between the non-SEALS Anorak, and the SEALS SMOCK. The Anorak is a simple, pull-over type of thing made by some other company, and the smock is a professional SAS-type smock made by SEALS. As far as I can remember - the smock hasn't changed much from when it was first introduced, and they don't sell the Anoraks anymore.

Meaning the shirt and pants (BDUs) are Frontenac, but everything else isn't. Sorry for the confusion. I was e-mailing with John at SEALS a year and a bit ago regarding the cadpat stuff and he confirmed, at least at that time, the BDUs are Frontenac.

True. The BDUs are made by Frontenac, the smocks are made by SEALS.

Drop Zones cadpat may be the shit, but check the prices! 189.00 for the pants 189.00 for the shirt.
