Am I small medium or large...

I've had a pair for years, fantastic and don't make you sweaty.

They've got bargains on Altbergs and Lowas (i can recommend the lowa deserts)

Any ideas on sizing?

I got a 40 which I am and the fit fine.

Where from toneski?

stick "british military surplus" in google and the first hit is what you need

+1 for the lowa desert boots, really comfy.

Is everyone else getting over 5 quid for postage?

I can't remember what the postage cost but I ordered two pairs... and a pair of softie trousers.

I witheld buying some black watch trews though.

Someone should take my money off me for safe keeping

Good psa 😀

Normally 31" trousers...small or medium given they're overtrousers?

yes, still better than ebay

Ordered, thanks

For some reason I want to rock up to a trail center in one of [url= http://www.britishmilitarysurplus.co.uk/shop/hardwear/msa-gallet-fire-helmet-1124053.htmlhttp:// ]these[/url]

Sizing chart in terms and conditions folks.

Missed the desser cam gortex trousers at a 10er I'd have cut them up for riding quite happily!

Clicking around those links at the bottom takes you to some interesting places. I thought the only [url= http://www.ex-mod-vehicles.com/shop/used-cars.html ]Corvettes [/url]the MOD had going surplus would be boats

I live about 15 miles from British Military Surplus and have collected bits from their warehouse over the years, fantastic bargains!

In fact some of their grade 1 stuff (I know these are new!) are also new but just removed from packaging! Staff said because they are official MOD disposal if it's not in factory packaging they have to sell as used although normal it isn't!

mine came new and packaged.

looking forward to seeing fellow STWers rocking [url= http://www.gisurplus.co.uk/shop/product.php/1106/east-german-emergency-poncho ]this look[/url]

got mine, folded in a sealed pack but definitely not new, good nick though. Might wash them though...

cheers ton just ordered some cammo gore text trousers.

will also wash before using too- remember to use non-biological detergent on goretex stuff dudes!

Those Lowa boots look very similar to some Oakley boots I have that are the comfiest boots ever in the history of mankind. Looks like they're sold out though 🙁

the lowas will not fit and feel the same as Oakley boots. The lowas need a little bedding in time, whereas the Oakleys were pretty much comfy out of box. Teh Meidels that they have, were comfy from offset, but then proceeded to rub and fall apart!!!!

Trousers, i want a sweedish military Stove from one of their sister sites

Mine just arrived and look like a proper decent pair of over trousers. They appear to be new, or sufficiently new to not need a wash or anything.

I got medium and they're pretty long in the leg

mrbelowski - what size waist are you (if you don't mind me asking!)? I'm a 32" and guessing med will be a bit too big, since they're over-trousers. Are they very generous/loose? Ta.

Yes they are quite generous
I'm 34" waist 32" leg ordered medium and they fit although I will have to pull the draw cord waist tight and the legs are a little bit too long

Size label inside says leg 85 waist 94 seat 110 (all cm's)
Probably a bit too big for biking, they will annoy me when they slip down my lower back in the saddle. Will be great for wet dog walks and stuff though

Mine where also 'as new' slight musty smell but suspect that's more from storage as they definitely don't look pre-worn
I got the RAF blue ones

I've got a 33inch inside leg and 32 - 34 inch waist (depending on my beer / pie consumption that week and how badly I need a shit). The medium is fine around the waist (like iain I'll have to pull the draw cord slightly) but a bit too long in the leg. Neither will be a problem for dead-of-winter fat bike bimbles, but they're a bit too generous for regular 'normal' riding.

If I were you I'd probably go for small

Actually, the label on my mediums says 85cm leg, 84cm waist and 100cm seat, so I guess the size is a bit random

iain - cheers, useful info.
mrbel - cheers to you too, and for the free laugh at the needing a shit bit.

Yep useful info from iain and mrbel...going to take a punt on the small at 31" waist & leg (well jean size) and see how we go

Looking at their size chart in the 5&c's looks like despite ordering medium they have sent me a large, long leg
Will email them tomorrow to see about exchanging

The Royal Navy Goretex jackets on the wholesale link looked pretty good. Shows you how much profit sports manufacturers are making on Goretex too. My last Musto jacket was £100 reduced from £250. There is 5 there for £100 + vat
