After a bit 'o looking around, I've been wondering what kinds of helmets and plate carriers the SEALs would have used while they still wore Multicam. I'm not looking for a perfect Navy SEAL impression so much as it is the gear they use.

SEALs still wear Multicam, so you should be able to stick with what you see in current pictures.

I know they wear the Crye Precision JPC. As for helmets, the MICH 2001 is used.

How many times is this going to come up? Look in the threads below. It's not that hard.

You never know if something new may come up, even if the last thread was only a few months ago. Seeing that these guys (the SEALs) are special forces, they get to pick a good amount of gear on their own, so there's going to be trends coming and going among them. |

They don't get to pick their own gear. They are issued gear. It's more appropriate to say that they have a more robust selection than your average Grunt.

You could get a Khaki 6094 PC. Or, a Khaki 1961A with a PACA. A Khaki MBSS and RRV would also work. As for MultiCam gear, a Crye JPC or a Mayflower APC would work too.

Go for a FAST or 2001.  They're filtering in a few at a time...  Sounds like the OP needs to do some more research as this is really basic stuff you can find within 5 minutes of searching through a 'SEAL Thread' on pretty much any forum. |

I did do a search, but it the search engine keeps failing or turning up nothing. I'll do a bit of Google searching and post here to ask if it's accurate.

Yeah, we don't close threads just because the OP doesn't need them. Turns out other people might want to use them in the future.

The vest that the SEAL is using in the picture looks like an RRV, is that correct? _perform_a_live_fire_exercise_for_the_Secretary_of_the_Navy_(SECNAV)_The_Honorable_Dr._Donald_C._Winter.jpg) I also remember seeing SEALS in Act of Valor using the RRV. |
