Are there any Multicam Softshells out there that are less than $200 in price? Heck any that are less than $300?

I wish I had an answer for you (as I wouldn't mind having one myself), but I've found that a coyote or olive drab softshell paired with a enough multicam chestrig accessories is sufficient for blending. It'll save you some bucks if you go that route. |

The Helikon Tex softshell in Camogrom (multicam) is a nice set. It is a Level 5 PCU type and they make the jacket and pants that retail for about $100 each. I have an OD one and it has held up just fine, but note that I don't use it in the field, just when running training. Helikon makes gear for the Polish Military but I don't know of any other users besides gear heads like myself.

And, if you're MIL or LE you also get another 10% off!  I already have an OD Softshell from them, and just ordered a Black one with this sale. Good stuff and made in the USA!

782Gear's Reprieve Jacket is an excellent value at USCav for $159. 782Gear is an up and comer and will likely increase in price.
Link to USCav ETA also the Velocity Jacket is $159. |

I owned their Smokin Jacket for exactly one day and returned it. Construction was nothing spectacular and $130 for a glorified M65 liner was too much for me compared to say an Atom jacket for the same price or a WTT low loft jacket for a little more. But Hey this is American and if they want to so be it good for them, rock on.

where do you buy Helikon items? do you have a dealer link? From www.hwesta.eu. He has been good when I ordered, and when I ordered something that was out of stock he at least told me in an e-mail a few hours after I ordered it. Located in Poland, so expect shipping to be UPS or Fedex which is expensive. You can change currency to dollars on the site and estimate shipping though. |

This is great. $110 for the gunfighter, plus the shipping. I bookmarked it. |

Helikon and condor look to have the same manufacturer for the softshells or condor is using helikon as the maker. (condor doesent build much if anything in house.)
Im going to give them a shot I noticed condor has switched to YKK zippers for its newer softshells. I think helikon may also be upgrading to ykk. Looks like a winner for 100 bucks |
I don't know why since they make softshell pants in the other colors.

The Adventure Tech Level V Softshell in MultiCam can be purchased from Propper distributors for less than $200 each for the trouser and jacket. It is a closeout item though, with no returns. Cool, do you have a link to a distributor or name you could give me? Thanks. |
You can find a list of Propper distributors at this link. Most online distributors will carry them for less than MSRP.

| More a hardshell, but there are multicam ECWCS parkas out there...here is one for $130... |
|
Helikon does - The site I linked is just a retailer. E-mail him about the soft shell pants––they are in the Helikon catalog.
http://www.helikon-tex.com/materialy-robocze/katalog2011.pdf I am thinking about getting a small range of their clothing to see if I want to stock it in my store. |

Quoted: looking at a small fortune on the MC ECWS gear It will not be "surplussed" yet anywhere what youll be finding are the off items that where posted up for private sale by individuals still in service. Or guys that have them and are ETS'ing, like with almost all other newer gear to hit the surplus market. I guarantee that surplus shops around large bases that have units rotating into AFG will start having a lot of multicam in stock soon. |

You dont have to wait. Its already there in quantity. Problem is the OP is asking for Cheap/Low cost. The current price structure for the MC ADS gear (in the "surplus" market) is out of this world right now. Yeah, I checked they want full retard money for that stuff and I'm sure airsofters are willing to shell it out. 
You guys ever wonder how airsofters can afford to purchase $400 jackets when they're teenagers? I never had that kind of money when I was young. |
