I am looking for a site that sells a Rhodesian Style assault vest. I know the real steel version is called a south African assault vest. Last year you could find cheap replicas all over the internet, but now I just can't seem to find any. Just for clarification i am looking for a replica version. I saw District 9 and was instantly inspired to make a South African loadout.
Weapon Blender has some for sale, but they have been out of stock for as long as i can remember.
I usually try very hard to find info and gear before turning to a forum, but I have been searching for a week straight with no results.

If Grinch's link is what you were looking for, then you can just ignore me. He knows a hell of a lot more about gear than most of the rest of us, so he's probably on point. When I hear Rhodesian Vest, I think Eagle Industries Rhodesian Recon Vest. If that's what you were looking for, check here: www.airsoftsmith.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=31_77&products_id=1963I just picked one up a couple months ago. |

It is true in most cases that real gear is the best way to go, but considering that I am a teenager that has minimal cashflow, the real deal is slightly out of my price range. The more I look at though, if I am going to make a realistic impression I better go real deal. Thanks for the link Grinch.
Knief, only the take off brands are called Rhodesian Vest's, the real deal is a South African Assault Vest. I only referred to it as a Rhodesian because I was originally looking for a replica. I actually used an Eagle Industries Rhodesian Recon Vest and they are very nice. But it is not the right thing for the impression I am after. Have you seen District 9? Its a great movie.

I have seen it, it's very good. I just don't remember the gear from it off the top of my head, and wasn't going to pop it in the blu-ray player. Anyway, Grinch and the other ODA guys (Knife, cqbr, Thor, etc) are probably your best bet for help. I'm comparatively awful when it comes to gear, so listen to them. They'll steer you right.

Yeah JD. That, in a nutshell, is the basis for a modern SADF loadout. IIRC, they run PASGT-esque helmets nowadays too; unawares of their issue armor carrier, though.
