Re: FJ jump smock
spearhead ones are very good if you are worried about the tan you can stick raylon dye through it for a green background.

Re: FJ jump smock
Panther Store are reputed to be the best, get the RiRi plastic zips.
I've got 2 Spearhead knockensaks and although not perfect, they are fine for rolling around in the mud! I've done at least 5 private battles in mine, so far no holes and the only wear and tear is on the collar and cuffs from sweating. They go in my washing machine on a 30° and come out fine.
If you get a Spearhead pre aged version, they are smaller than advertised on his site due to the ageing process. Get the next size up.

Gary.

Ok I was wondering about that, thanks.
So looks like Panther is getting the most votes.
