RKilts MultiCam paintball kilt

[ccga3359]

MOLLE is an acronym for MOdular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment.

To better show MOLLE here is my chest rig showing the 1" horizontal webbing:



This is the back of various pouches to show the two vertical straps and more horizontal webbing for the weaving attachment:



Assorted pouches (so many sporran choices):



Shown below how gear is woven (it only take a couple of moments to do it):



Now to try to show that same webbing on the apron of my kilt as Robert did the webbing in matching camo:



To prove that it's actually there (and the start of the attachment process):



Here is what will end up being my sporran. It`s called a dump pouch and has overlapping elastic at the top (underneath the flap) for quickly and securely dumping equipment:



As you can see with all the pouch options and the webbing both on my chest harness and kilt I have infinite options of where to place my gear for weight and access utilizations.

Good review and huge kudos to Robert at R Kilts. Move over Utilikilts, here is the ultimate utility kilt! If it was in black even Batman would be impressed.

So Grant, with your new gear are your going to change strategy and comand your team from the rear?

Cheers

Possibly Robert's biggest challenge. Be warned this is a paintball marker and not the other thing!

The holster (upper thigh strap was removed).



The holster with contents:



The hole where thigh strap goes through and hidden in a pleat. there is some puckering of the pleat and was completely expected especially with such deep pleats, but when no holster is worn pleats just fall naturally.



Up-kilt shot to show the strap and luckily showing my sliding shorts. Note there just 'ain't no elegant way of buckling this up in public.

First of it's kind an RKilt with front pockets:

Left:



Right:



Apron. I never asked for this. Robert just installed it with the thought of adding padding against those stray paintballs. I glad Robert allowed his mind to wander for my protection... I will not ask what he was thinking:



The money shot! A whole mess o' pleats, deeep pleats. giving me (count 'em) five thicknesses of material:



Deeep reverse pleats give me four thicknesses up front:



Pleat depth:

Assorted outdoor shots and waiting for the snow to melt. I need to get some WPG hose and/or to get Robert to make me some MultiCam gaiters. Also not that my "sporran" is of the Cordura nylon and has a slightly different look. if I were to have this kilt made again I'd (force) have Robert do so in the thicker, nastier material. Also note that this gives me, a mild mannered pussycat a real intimidating look. A major plus staring down my opposites on the field.

Ok Grant, I understand the obsession and desire for your own kilt check, but kilt checking yourself for the whole forum to see does not count!

Thanks everyone. This was a one off design, mainly RKilt with a wider apron. Not to take credit away from Robert but I do feel that this was a true collaboration, some ideas of mine and Robert's interperation and design. I would like to see some of these features in future RKilts and as far as I'm concerned Robert is more than welcome carry these over. Perhaps it's time to let him know what interests you in future RKilts, I know I got exactly what I was hoping for (except, as Colin so kindly () pointed out, the pletera of lovely ladies wanting to kilt check me).

Chin up Man! You have had some middling success with Robert's dog. Who knows how you will fare with the various woodland animals you might encounter during your paintball games.

Yesterday a dog, Tomorrow a...err...squirrel?
