Canadian Forces 82 Pattern C2 Bra

The Canadian Forces 82 Pattern C2 Bra is a component of the Canadian military’s 1982 Pattern webbing system, specifically designed to carry the C2 general-purpose machine gun’s spare barrel and associated accessories. Constructed from sturdy olive drab nylon, the C2 Bra consists of a pouch supported by adjustable straps, allowing it to be worn securely across the chest. Its functional design enables rapid access to the spare barrel during operations, supporting quick barrel changes and maintaining optimal weapon performance in the field. The pouch typically features a flap closure with quick-release fasteners to ensure both accessibility and protection for the barrel. Used by members of the Canadian Forces from the early 1980s through the 1990s, the 82 Pattern C2 Bra reflects the practical and modular approach of Canada’s web gear in this era. This item is suitable for collectors interested in late 20th-century Canadian military equipment and load-carrying systems.
