    Guys, I'm looking for an ARID CADPAT cover or carrier for the body armour or someone who can make one for me.
    Cheers,
    John

    I would like one too and have considered making a reproduction but I haven't found the material I would need. However, I have an enormous kit bag I made out of arid Cadpat on my last tour and have contemplated taking it apart to use the fabric. I'm leaving on vacation next week but if you contact me in the beginning of Sept we can discuss the possibility of making a couple covers.

    Seems like it. I'll swing by there next week to see if they have any more.

    That would great! If the price is right I would be interested in several meters to make up some reproductions since the issue items are basically impossible to get.

    There used to be a fellow in the Village of Petawawa, John was his name and he used to be a rigger. He made my tacvest in 2008 before I went over, he did a great job too. If I can track him down, I'll see if my daughter will stop by to talk over the project with him.

    Cheers,
    John
