The problem I have is I lost my toque on ex and I need to buy a new one. I was about buy the one off CPGear but I searched here as well found this thread and now I'm questioning if there is a better spot to buy it as they initially said that it was more of a greyish-green colour, which after reviewing the photo seems similar but it isn't a good quality photo.
Therefore, I'm asking if there is a better place to buy a toque online as I can't find one locally.

Ice97 said:Don't quote me incase i'm wrong....but I believe that only the Army issues a fleece touque. (My PO1 asked about getting a fleece touque and was told that it only comes in green) That being said...it's a really nice piece of kit. Better then what you can buy at the canex. Wore it when it was completely wet...and it dried super quick and kept me very warm.

Maybe we should evolve to something you can put a real cap badge on, like our allies?

1. Use your Logistik points and get one of those fur caps;
2. Visit the local liquor store and buy a bottle of Five Star Whiskey;
3. Remove the plastic Star and affix to front of fur cap: and
4. You are now good to go.

Interesting. Because the canairgen17/14 stated that as of 1 Apr 15, only the LWTH was to be worn with operational dress. And it wasn't an exchange item. Everyone was to be issued with the three piece set. I think your CoC should rethink their distribution policy.BinRat55 said:Not gonna quote you. We have a new thermal AF toque. To my knowledge, the Navy hasn't caught up yet! Still have the black knit on the shelf. Same rules apply to the AF - if your blue knit is toast and can't be resurrected, we will give you the new thermal. But we won't exchange it "just cuz you want the new one please..."

Heard something similar about the direction on interim badging for NCDs - the non-supply-chain directive went out well before anything was ready on the supply side.BinRat55 said:Rethinking a policy in which we implement with more kit / systems than you'll ever realize is not conducive to supply chain operations.
