South African Infantry gear

This picture shows the original South African Defence Force tactical load bearing vest (Gevegsbaadjie). This battle jacket was developed in South Africa in the 1980's, and was subsequently adopted by armies world-wide. The helmet is a standard issue kevlar helmet with peaked "Nutria" cover. The rifle is an R4, based on the israeli galil, and is also standard issue to South African soldiers. The Nutria brown coloured uniforms were replaced in the 90's with a bush camo pattern.

Ratel - I was conscripted a year before you and I still got lumbered with the old canvas webbing and original 'staaldak' helmet!
(Although I see you still used the canvas roll bag cover!)

Good picture!
