Need Gear!
« on: February 01, 2010, 10:41:17 PM »
Hey I have about $40 max to spend on gear for an upcoming event...  Can anyone tell me where I can get basic gear cheap (pads, vest, slings, holsters, etc.)?

$40 will buy you a set of used BDU's, they have pockets, which you can use to store stuff.

if you want to go cheap (50$) but good qual.. buy some 5.11 pants with the mag pouches,

http://www.511tactical.com/browse/Home/ ... 01/I/74273
 
 i have them and they work great - that'll get you by on where to put your mags for the time being. then make sure you have some good boots. a lot of people these days skimp on buying good boots.. but they are imo one of the most important things and a staple item in any "kit". gortex linings are a plus too

the idea here is not spending money on something that will serve a purpose for only a short amount of time ei: a 40 dollar vest with fixed pouches..if i were you i'd rather go buy good bdu's or 5.11s that will last you a LONG time and serve as a beginner platform- then work your way to a molle platform for your first vest.. infinity tactical (fixed pouch) vests are probably one of the most disposable items in airsoft other than bb's

just throwin that out there and @ the very least if you decide not to play anymore, all you have spent money on is cheap bdu's or good "cargo" pants left over.

Gearbox Airsoft on Southern and McClintock has a pretty decent selection of starter gear you could check out.

Thanks to all of you for the input! Does Ron from Gearbox have an account on Airsoft Arizona so I could talk to him about his specials?

Nil8r, it's probably best to call though.
