Hi,

So I want to create a ghost recon cotume based on this picture (outfit wise)

http://autoimagesize.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/ghost-recon-future-soldier-wallpapers-hd-wallpapers-games-images-ghost-recon-hd-wallpaper.jpg

and this picture of another guy who made it, and nailed it in my opinion, just he uses it for airsoft games

http://img834.imageshack.us/img834/1043/p5252340.jpg

thing is, I have no clue about the names of these items. And this is my first costume ever, so im a little clueless of where to start :p Any help is appreciated.
And this is not for softgun or anything like that, its a pure "decorational" costume.

kthxbai,
Sev

Just some fair warning, I don't know anything about airsoft stuff but I'm sure that purely airsoft gear is much cheaper than the real thing thankfully.

That being said, the goggles appear to be Bobster Alphas [http://www.bobster.com/ballisticstactical/alpha-ballistics-goggles-z87-black-frame-2-lenses.aspx] with clear lenses. These can be replaced with any snow-related goggles in the right color, although even those aren't exactly cheap, maybe at around $40 [http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=scott+87+green&_sac=1&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xscott+87+green+goggle&_nkw=scott+87+green+goggle&_sacat=0].

The gloves could be any number of tactical models. Just look up Blackhawk or 'tactical gloves' and you'll find plenty to choose from. Take note of this image [http://www.sarkardefence.com/images/our_products/tactical_clothing/gloves/kevlar_carbon/kevlar_carbon_main.png], which is meant for a left-handed shooter. Notice how in your image there's no knuckle protection on the right index finger as this would potentially interfere with your trigger finger.

I can't really tell if that's a headset or not. It might be the 3M Peltor COMTAC III ACH, which is clearly not attainable. It looks like it could be really high-end hearing protection, like these [http://www.srstactical.com/communications/supreme-range-headsets.html].

Sorry, I'm feeling kind of lazy. From this point on you could just Google stuff like 'Airsoft tac chest rig [https://www.google.com/search?q=airsoft+tac+chest+rigs&safe=off&es_sm=93&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=luFJU_LWNavjsASmkYLgCQ&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=978&bih=782]' and find a bunch of images. This site [http://www.airsoftoutletnw.com/news/tactical-vest-guide] has a few images of vests with MOLLE webbing on the mag pouches, which seem similar to your image.

This should be enough to get you started. Again, I apologize as I'm sure there's plenty of replica stuff meant for airsoft.

You can see that he is using a basic ball cap for his head, for the headset it looks like a pair of Element Comtac 2 style headset, and some basic shades for his eyes. His gloves might be Oakley Assault gloves but a more affordable option would be the strike system hard knuckle gloves. His chest rig how ever I can't really see due to the gun in the way but u can buy some cheap chest rig and it does look like he is using either HSGI "Tacos" but a much more affordable option would be the condor outdoor open top m4 pouches thats the best I can give you from the picture. Also for the clothes some basic camo clothes from a military surplus store should work fine but if you want to look a little more realistic and true to the picture you could always look up some affordable combat shirt and pants. This is coming from an airsoft player and we usually do like looking cool like that guy in the pic.

Well if you have any sort of army surplus thing around you I would first go there, you will probably find most of the costume in those piles of gear and even if not accurate shit will look legit. Oh and I would model my costume off the original not on someone else's attempt.

Also a fair warning if you intend to take any of this through airports security will crawl all over your ass, especially if you intend to have a gun.
