Good replica of The Middlesex Regiment…
Good replica of The Middlesex Regiment flag. Okay to go in the window but think it would be no good left outside in rough weather.

Reliable, does what it says on the tin
You get what you pay for from them, a lot of the products are military surplus, may be a bit worn and even some of the "new" stock has clearly come out of storage and has a mothball smell.
BUT I've always found their products to be fundamentally good quality, with everything that matters working well. Their prices have always been good and the delivery very quick.
I've bought a few things before for hiking from them and have always found this. Good quality, used items at a decent price.

PCS Thermal Smock
I was a bit worried about sizing as the item was described as close fitting but I followed the size guide and it fits great. Great product for the price, quick delivery and hassle free purchase
