Geardo's, if you don't mind? Help building a quick kit.

Long read, but it would really help.

Load out
-----------
Ca870 x 5 Mags (1 loaded)
Para x 2 mags (1 loaded)

Kit
-----------
For camo, i'm pretty settled on CADPAT pants. My Upper doesn't matter so much, but I'll get to that later*.

For webbing, this is the tricky part. I've looked at the sniper belt by HSGI (http://www.optactical.com/snwa.html), it doesn't look to be "enough". I'm willing to sacrifice some mobilty for the ability to carry a bit of stuff with me on the field. I was thinking M1965 suspenders, but I'm afraid they'll bounce around to much. I want it to be tight aorund my waist. I want everything centerd around my waist, but not too bulky. I'm looking to carry small things, water bottles, socks, BB's, and maybe a knife. Its also gotta hold the mags for the two guns, and a holster (if I have too, i'll go for a thigh holster, but I would much prefer one by the hip).

For Gloves, I was looking at those Naval assualt gloves (http://www.blackhawk.com/product_det...uct_id=2835&d=) by backhawk. They look really nice, but i've heard to many bad things about there gloves. If I get a full finger set, I would prefer it nice and uniform, as close to those as possible. Somone on these boards sent me a link for them once, but I can't find it.

Mic Set up, I really want a throat mic, and the ISAUS ones seem to get good reviews. If you have other ideas for "quiet communications, by all means throw it my way.

Boots, I find the CF issues ok. Would prefer something better, in a tactical look, but don't wanna spend a fortune.

*The tricky bit. For this particular kit, I wanna set up a cape, or hood, or something. Essentially this: http://www.german-cinema.de/app/film..._the_gates.jpg

But if possible, in CADPAT camo. I've sent inquries to a few people that make gear, but never really any clear answers. I'm pretty sure I have to get it custom made, but I have no idea who to ask. I'd prefer it made to military speck, so it can withstand abuse.

Reason
--------

I wanna create a scout role, in what I personally think would work best. Its meant to be made for moving fast. The cape is what I think will really make this kit work best. Its a full CADPAT colouring over everything, and really breaks up your image, but its not a heavy ghille suite in which one must move slowly.

Budget
---------

The kits gonna be built in stages, and I'm not looking to spend more than 500$ for the gear and cape, and another 300$ for everything else. I'd prefer not to spend over 500$ in total, but I'm flexiable.


Thanks for any help.
