Frequently asked questions

Is Raid Supply kit genuine British Army issue?

Yes. Almost everything we sell is genuine British Army issue, bought as surplus. Where an item is unissued stores stock, or a new Battalion own-brand product, the listing states it.

What do the surplus grades mean?

Every item is graded before it is listed, and the grade you choose is the grade that is packed. Brand New / Unissued: stores stock that was never issued. Super Grade: the cleanest issued kit from a batch, minimal signs of use. Grade 1: good, serviceable condition with light honest wear. Grade 2: heavier wear and marking, fully usable, the cheapest way to own genuine kit.

How do NATO sizes work?

British Army clothing uses NATO size codes in centimetres. On jackets and smocks the code is height/chest, so 180/96 fits roughly 180 cm tall with a 96 cm chest. On combat trousers the code is leg/waist/seat. Every listing shows the everyday size in inches alongside the NATO code. Full charts: Sizing & Condition Guide.

What is the difference between MTP and DPM?

MTP (Multi-Terrain Pattern) is the current British Army camouflage. DPM (Disrupted Pattern Material) is the earlier woodland pattern it replaced. Both are sold here as genuine issued kit.

How quickly will my order arrive?

Orders placed before 1:00 PM Monday to Friday leave the same working day by Royal Mail tracked service. Tracked 24 aims for 1 to 2 working days after dispatch; Guaranteed Next Day is available for £24.99.

Can I return an item?

Yes, within 30 days of receipt. Try it on indoors and keep tags and packaging. Items worn outdoors, washed or altered cannot be returned. Return postage for change-of-mind returns and size swaps is paid by the customer. Full terms: Refunds & Returns.

Yes. We ship to the United States and 14 European countries with prices shown in local currency. US orders are sent Delivery Duties Paid. Rates by parcel weight are on the International Delivery page.
