Product range
Well, Flecktarn.co.uk established themselves on their products. As the name suggests, they specialise in hard to find german flecktarn cammoflague. If you need something in flecktarn, they've probably got it. But they're not just limited to that. No, they do nearly every type of cammo under the sun: British DPM, the new American digital cammo, Danish M48, and some strichtarn stuff (a flecktarn variant). There are some other types I can't remember (There's the luverley 'nam tigerstripe, though), and, of course, the ever popular Black and Olive Drab, to go with any uniform.
They have mountains of stuff; Helmets, Combat Jackets, Jungle trousers, winter trousers, arctic windproof trousers, A Shedload of PLCE, ALICE and MOLLE Pouches... the list goes on. They even stock their own brand P90 magazine pouches, which are damned rare to begin with, even real-steel ones are hard to get hold of. If it's Cammo and you need it, they've probably got it.
Prices
So, Flecktarn.co.uk do exotic stuff as well as the usual run of the mill stuff, right? So their prices must be fairly high too? Umm, No. They do have some expensive kit, but that's only the odd item that's stupidly rare anyway. As a comparison, I recently bought a set of DPM for myself, Grade 1 surplus. Cost me £18, including the shipping. Down my local army surplus shop, the same stuff would have cost me £20. Just for clarification, I bought the grade 1 used surplus. No major fading, nothing wrong with it. £5 for the trousers, another £5 for the shirt. Bargin basement prices for top-notch kit. IMHO, it's better to buy used and/or surplus kit, as it's a tad cheaper than, say, the Webtex stuff. And faded stuff makes your kit look like it's seem action, not the top row of a shelf somewhere :D
Delivery & sales
Order was placed. Money was sent. I waited, wondering how long it would take. I was expecting about a week for them to be delivered - they say 30 days on their website, but I figured; . Two days after the order was placed, my stuff arrived. Either royal mail shifted their arses, or Flecktarn had gotten the order sent out straight away. And I'm not so sure that royal mail *ever* shift their arses.
Much to my suprise (for some reason), there was a nice big receipt, stating that I'd spent a rather small ammount of money on some damned good quality kit. Also included were a couple of damned fine postcards showing their kit in action. Full marks for the postage and packing, then!
Total score
Damn. I can't fault them. I've never heard of any orders being lost, their prices are some of the cheapest around, and they stock loads of hard to find kit. 10/10 for the Flecktarn.co.uk Boys!!! and well deserved it is too! |

THE best online retailer I've found for a good amount of varied camouflage and tactical kit.
WHAT I BOUGHT:
After wanting a set of the new ACUs and not being able to afford the ridiculous prices that the very few places I'd found them were charging, I happened across some at Flecktarn.
New kit? Expensive then eh? NO WAY! Flecktarn had a nice complement of ACU replica kit in, and at the same bargain price as their other American kit. Shirt and trousers both £18, boonie hat £6.50, and helmet cover £5. I ordered the standard ACU set first, then later decided to get the helmet cover to complete my kit.
ORDERING & DELIVERY
Placing the orders was easy and secure. I got confirmation emails for both completion of the ordering, processing, and dispatch. On my second order, I even got a nice little low-res picture of my order! Both orders took a mere 2 DAYS to reach me!! Considering that they're based in the Midlands, and I'm way up in West Yorkshire, that was fantastic!
Overall, brilliant service, great prices, and a fantastic product range. I'd highly recommend Flecktarn!------------------------------ Member of: BUPAS

I bought there own brand tac vest and it arrived as promised, overall impression of there own brand is as follows:
It mimicks very closely the viper tac vest (although cheaper), its really strong and durable, can be made to suit a host of different things and can be adjusted to required height.
The customer service is stunning the best so far, none of this "we'll check and give you a call back" nonsense, just straight honest opinions.
There rare exotic camo selection is the best, yet they are to stock up again on them.
Overall if you want tac gear but dont want to pay a fortune then Flecktarn.co.uk gets my thumbs up of approval.

I've made a few deals with this company and i couldn't be more pleased :D
They send an email of conformation included is an image of what you've ordered, so you can't really go wrong.
I sent all my orders on a week day before 12a.m. and they arrived the next day, on two occasions they arrived within 12 hours!
Highly regarded and will gladly give them my custom in the future. |

Excellent service and I'm really pleased with the overall professional no-hassle website. Everything is organised so neatly and each department from sales, to shipping is great and at each stage you are kept informed via e-mail. They also include tracking with your order which gives you even more information about your order. I got my order after 24 hours and I live in N.Ireland which is I was very impressed by. The products are just excellent.
Top class airsoft and flecktarn distributor. If you need any camo kit look nowhere else than this reliable and professional site with helpful staff.

I bought a used Flecktarn Parka and trousers, all for 18.50 plus some trouser elastics as well. Placed my order Monday evening, received confirmation of my order by 11 am the next day, and it was delivered to my nominated address by 13:00 wednesday. excellent service and turn around. i really like the idea of getting a photo of your order. top marks easily recommended.

Generally very good experience with Flecktarn, but they missed an item off an order last spring and haven't responded to my (several) emails on the subject.
