You're allowed one item of DPM clothing and I believe the current CSR/PR booklet specifically mentions the use of the current issue sniper smock. Head to toe cam is very much discouraged these days.

For my money I would buy some hi tec waterproof trousers rather than the Gortex over trousers I used to wear, I found a restriction of movement with over trousers especially during the rundowns.

Cheap, warm and dry don't usually go together.

If you're going to spend all day outside in the cold and wet you need some decent quality clothing.

Mostly I wear 5.11 Tactical Pants. They are very well made and allow for easy movement between standing, sitting and kneeling.

When the weather's really bad I have some fleece lined Buffalo trousers - warm and toasty!

Winter League CSR can be cold, wet and muddy.
1- waterproof walking boots, you are going spend a lot of time on your feet. wear two pair of socks thin inner pair and good thick walking socks on top.

2- waterproof over-trousers are a must just make sure they have a zipped fly it just makes life easier. What trousers you wear under them is your choice

3- thermal vest, micro fleece, showerproof softshell jacket or walking jacket

4- waterproof jacket with hood for when it's really honking down, milsurp MVP/gortex is ideal although a couple of shooter wear barbour type wax jackets

5- gloves and headgear.

Mountain Warehouse for most budget end stuff, milsurp for waterproofs or TKMax for outdoor/walking jackets. Basically anything you would wear to go hill walking in the winter will do.

You can get away with a full set of cammo waterproofs. I always did. The rules are supposed to be about the uniforms act but sadly the TR gliteriety have b****** this to involve anything Green, brown, or non rainbow coloured. I see a lot of comments regarding warm this, and dry that. Fact is, if you do it properly and actually exert yourself, you will get bloody warm. You will as likely also get wet. Goretex has one major failing, being that it won't let water our as quickly as it got in. Result, if the water gets in, it stays in. This is why many servers went back to cambrelle or sealskin socks. Let it out, dry the feet out on lay up. Clothing is the same. IF you want to stay toastie standing about, a rundown or change in distance will soon have you cooking nicely. Go for wicking, microfleece and wind proof (gabedine is the dogs as it stays windproof when wet), waterproofs if you absolutely have too. You will be changing position on wet grass rapidly. Also, yea, cheap ain't always best, but the reason many use mill surp is because it is cheap enough to trash and change regularly. The gravel on ash and short Siberia easily destroys knees of trousers. But to be honest, comfort when moving is most important. CSR is for riflemen, not for posing in the latest high end mountain gear or bondage kit.
