Probably won't be too long, and there is still companies that have frontenac in stock which is much better than parklands, like cpgear.com, dstactical.com and other's I'm sure.

Icetactical.com also can make their bdu's in cadpat, but expect very long wait times.

Dropzonetactical.com has cadpat bdu's but are notoriously expensive for a average product (not my personal opinion as I've never used dropzonetactical's bdu but that's just what I've heard from several military members who have seen/used them)

If I find felixtactik's BDU's up to snuff we may in the near future do a bulk order of those in genuine cadpat combat cloth as well so that would be another option, I have high hopes for his product it seems to be really well designed.

I think Parklands Cadpat works for me. Anyone who know where I can buy new (not secondhand) Parklands Cadpat Jacket/trousers for each ~ 20 CAD?

Parklands = Made in Pakistan

Only use I ever saw for Parklands cadpat is to cut into strips and use for a winter forest ghillie. Other than that................ wear them for a year and you end up with winter whites!

That I mean is that it is more a temporary solution until that the new Frontenac (or similar) will arrive to the market.

Does it exists different generations of Parklands Cadpat-combats?

I know that Parklands cadpat not are the best items

But I will see that as a temporary solution. Because that I'm looking for a reseller who sells new jacket + trousers for about $40. It is not so much money?

I don't have any pics to dig up of others, but let's just say it ends up looking like a dirty greenish white colour, kinda like ACU.

How about you just listen to all the people here who have said "don't buy it, it's shit".

Or, you can summarily ignore all the good advice given to you and buy Parklands Cadpat.

Conversely, you can take the same money and buy yourself a pair of white jeans and a matching white jean jacket, which is exactly what your Parklands stuff will look like after about 1 wash.

The Sets from CP gear seem good, they're a little pricier than some of the other stuff out there but it's made of real CADPAT fabric... the cut's also slightly different than the Issue stuff...

Frontenac doesn't make theirs with the real fabric...
CP gear makes theirs at their factory.
Frontenac is based out of Quebec.

No, you're mistaken. The cadpat clothing sold by CPGEAR is FRONTENAC. You can clearly see the "CADPAT" nametape above the right pocket of the shirt, which is an idiocy of Frontenac.

The gear and equipment made by CPGEAR is made in their factory using milspec cadpat materials. The BDU is not made in their factory and is commercial reproduction Frontenac gen III.
