The French MLE-49 in Rhodie Brushstroke WPG has produced and that I've purchased is simply magnificent. I love so called "fantasy" pieces like this beauty. Put simply WPG makes great high-quality kit. I'll be back for more for sure. Now if they'd just get the OD green version back in-stock I can⁷ die a happy man. Thanks guys and gals.

What a beauty.

I don't want to say this work of art is a beast but well it's so tough I shot it with a .50 cal API to zero discernable effect. Next I tried an AT4. It left some small burn marks but that was it. No penetration at all. Suffice it to say these hats are tougher that depleted uranium armor. They represent the perfect marriage of Rhodie Brushstroke camouflage and French design. Both the Bigeard Cap and the MLE 49 are iconic symbols of French military adventures AND the Cold War.
