P58 Webbing Set
The 1958 Pattern Web Equipment, or P58, was a modular personal equipment system used by the British Armed Forces from 1959 until the mid-1990s. It replaced the 1937 Pattern Web Equipment, which was used during World War II and the early years of the Cold War. The P58 was designed when it was thought that soldiers would rarely carry their entire kit together, and that their large packs would likely be stored in mechanized transport.
This comprehensive set includes:
- Large Rucksack: Spacious and reliable, perfect for carrying all your essentials.
- Two Magazine Pouches: Easily accessible and secure, keeping your ammunition within reach.
- Canteen Pouch: Ensures you stay hydrated with your water always at hand.
- Poncho Roll: Keeps your rain gear neatly stored and easily accessible.
- Entrenching Tool Holder: Perfectly accommodates your digging tools for any terrain.
Plus, each set comes with a Belgian 122D Angle Head Light, equipped with red, white, and blue filters to adapt to any lighting situation.
These webbing sets date back to the 1970s and carry the marks of their storied past. Showing signs of use and personalized modifications by soldiers, they add an authentic touch to your gear collection. Despite some frays, there are no holes in any of the pouches, ensuring they remain fully functional.
The P58 Webbing Set is more than just equipment—it's a testament to durability and history, ready to join you on your next adventure.
