Cadet Webbing & Carriage
Our webbing and carriage collection provides cadets with the essential load-bearing systems needed to effectively manage equipment during field training exercises. These purpose-designed items allow for practical organisation of personal kit while teaching important lessons in load distribution and field mobility.
Effective equipment carriage represents a fundamental aspect of field capability. Our range addresses different training requirements through varied options—from the compact 25-litre daypack suitable for shorter exercises to the substantial 66-litre rucksack designed for extended expeditions. Each size option maintains military styling in Multi-Terrain Pattern or compatible camouflage while featuring appropriate capacity for specific cadet activity durations.
The collection includes both traditional and contemporary load-bearing approaches. The classic PLCE belt order system teaches cadets the time-tested military approach to equipment organisation, with modular pouches allowing customisation based on specific exercise requirements. For modern training needs, the MTP Training Vest provides an alternative approach that distributes weight across the upper body while maintaining quick access to essential items.
Learning to properly pack and distribute equipment develops important field skills that extend beyond mere convenience. Cadets discover how weight balance affects mobility, how systematic organisation improves accessibility in challenging conditions, and how proper care extends equipment life—practical lessons that transfer to all aspects of outdoor activities.
The bergan and rucksack designs incorporate features specific to cadet requirements, with appropriate sizing and ergonomics for younger users while maintaining compatibility with military equipment systems. Practical accessories like drysack pouches teach the importance of protecting essential items from field conditions.
Since 1949, Cadet Kit Shop has provided quality field equipment that supports cadet training across the UK. Our carriage collection continues this tradition, offering systems that develop the practical field skills central to the cadet experience.
