What are the best pieces of non-standard equipment that you have been issued in the past? And if you know it, what was the NSN# for those of us that may want to try to get it in the future?

Wiley X SG-1's. This was in early 2003 before the whole eyepro initiative took off.

Benchmade automatic folding knife. You can never have too many knives, especially a truly good one.

Last deployment to Afghanistan we're issued Combat pants with built in knee pads. Great pants loose fitting and very comfortable even with the built in knee pad.

Coolest things in my boat crewman gearbag were new Wiley glasses and a Smith & Wesson Department of Homeland Security monogrammed lockblade knife.
