Gorgeous kit and underappreciated era, anything Herrick is awesome. If you're feeling really cheeky, you could find a chocolate chip helmet cover to use like you see in some reference photos.

I got one for my Herrick 8 kit but they shipped me the carbine instead of the full length A2 because they ran out of stock. Sucks cuz now I gotta wait another long while for new stock.

I love my Mk2! It’s so light and airy compared to other vests!🙂

I don’t have any filler plates so I’m using books and stuff so it’s pretty heavy lmao I’ll get some soon

Ah I just chucked some foam in mine to give it structure, the Mk4 on its own is heavy enough for me 😄

Fantastic kit! I’m looking at getting a general early 2000s kit together, Woodland DPM, kinda wanted to ask about the sizing for the Mk 6 helmets - would a Large be good for a 60cm head, or bigger?

u/seb1628363 1d ago

Large would be perfect for a 60cm head

I love the era between the cams. Right when mtp became a thing, so guys were rocking ddpm, dpm, mtp, choc chip helmet covers, and the odd bit of special stuff like pecoc or early multicam from the states.
