Getting Navy SEAL Gear
How to acquire your very own Navy SEAL Protective Combat Uniform.
Even if you’re not Special Forces material, you can wear the same high-performance PCU our elite fighters do. But you won’t find it at the local Army/Navy surplus store. In the quest for inexpensive sourcing, the wardrobe’s developers worked with the Institute for the Handicapped, an organization that directs government contracts to organizations that employ the blind and disabled. Now, three separate shops manufacture pieces of the PCU for sale to the general public.
Here’s a look at the whole system and how to buy it.
