What is was issued? Not very much. I wear modern RusFed military boots which were like 80$ and comfy and blend in with more things than desert tan boots I was issued (despite those being better). I wear these daily while working on things or just in general. Cheap, durable, comfy, and utilitarian. A little "tactical" vibe to em which i'm not a huge fan of but they're milsurp style pants. Im big into reenacting russian gear as well as heritage, (which doesnt want to die) and I've found that during winter my WW2 era Telogreika keeps me warmer than anything new that I have, and it's just a cotton padded jacket. A lot of the modern issue stuff, or stuff directed towards the "military" crowd seems to be much more expensive than milsurp for equal or lesser quality. Not to mention, if any of this milsurp stuff gets a tear or otherwise, I can repair it with a needle and thread by hand. Ive tried fixing some modern gear and I need a machine or specific tools to do so which is a pain.

Edit: Source hydration packs (like camelbaks) are really good, much easier to maintain as well.
