Really good quality bag
Really good quality bag. Better than I thought it was going to be.
Easy to order
Easy to order, fast order processing and delivery, product looks as advertised but still to be tested.
My first time using KitPimp
My first time using KitPimp. I received good, quick service from them. Yet to go out with the pack but it is well put together and feels comfortable. It certainly should meet my needs.
Olive Green Smock
Really nice item, far superior to the issued smock, feels durable. Useful pockets in all the right places, can carry heaps of kit and not be ungainly. Good adjustment options to get it fitting just right, as well as getting layers underneath.
It might sound daft, but the olive green is a nice shade, some places claim an item is olive green, only for it to be pea green and awful looking. This is spot on, I'll be getting a black one for work I reckon.
Absolutely amazing customer service
Absolutely amazing customer service, kept me upto date the 150 litre kitpimp bergan is honestly some of the best kit ive seen for a long time
Great customer service and products
Product came quickly and was as described.
I ordered the mre case and I forgot to choose which one, but they called me me to ask.
I also ordered another one and sent an email specifying the one I wanted and they responded quickly.
Great customer service from this company.
Excellent 👌🏼
The choice provided, cost of the item purchased & ease of buying was all good, communication about the package delivery etc.. was also very good. Would buy from again.

Great quality kit, price feels like a steal, and when I messed the delivery address up, they were quick to help me rectify my mistake.

Arrived very promptly very satisfied with my purchase , however I think your smock may be enhanced if it had cuffs rather than open sleeves with velcro tightening and I would've gladly paid more for your product .

It was a good kit I was expecting and really met my expectations
Product better than its description
Product better than its description, well made and fully functional. Cannot wait until I can use it in training and in the field. Delivered on time, no issues.
A great service and great tent
A great service, fast delivery and yesterday we put the tent up, to practice for our intended canoe trip. I love how easy it was to put the tent up and how much space
Good kit well informed delivery good
Kitpimp Recon Smock.
I bought the Kitpimp Recon smock. It arrived quickly once the shop reopened after their holidays. I haven't worn it yet so this is more of an 'Unboxing Review'.
I bought it looking for a very breathable jacket for those hot, humid, summer days which have drizzle or light rain.
While I haven't worn it yet, the weight of the fabric is heavier than what I expected for a smock I'd expect to be used by very active soldiers. So that's down to me and my ignorance of the norms. The surplus MTP Windproof smock I have has a lighter fabric, so I will be depending on the different composition of the fabrics for the wished-for breathability.
Sizing-wise, I would have chosen a size between the Medium and Large, but there isn't one. That leaves my medium size okay with just a base layer but a tad tighter than I'd like with a fleece also under it. A military issue 180/104 fits me better, quite a bit looser- I have a bit of a belly - but it's completely a non-issue in the military surplus jacket.
The unattached ending of the zip in the MOD version does make it easier to zip up.
My last comment refers to the description on the website. The blurp is out of date with the intro referring to its impending introduction a number of years ago.
Also, the hood does NOT stow away. Not an issue for me, just an inaccurate description.
I got the jacket at a discounted price and what I got is well worth the price. I look forward to trying it out when summer temps drop a bit.
Most of my comments would have been dealt with at the time had I been buying in a shop. Buying online you really depend on the accuracy of the description.
