military's first run at a digital uniform, and is (perhaps unexpectedly, given operations tempo and budgetary differences) based on the research of the Canadian Armed Forces. ( See the photos here.) It marked the U.S. It has found great success in militaries the world over, from the Russian Federal Security Service to the Australian Special Air Service.Īs the acronym suggests, MARPAT is the Marine camouflage pattern. ( See the photos here.) The shades vary from brown to light tan, with vague fields of green.
Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern, as it is officially know, is characterized by the transition colors on each of its splotches (which are themselves smaller and more refined than those of the old woodland pattern). To its credit, MultiCam actually is an effective pattern - and the Army knew that in 2004, when the military branch passed over MultiCam in favor of the universal print. Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern (U.S. Combat uniforms, in other words, that would be used everywhere except combat.
The Army's solution? To issue specially-patterned "MultiCam" combat uniforms to soldiers in Afghanistan, but to also continue issuing universal pattern combat uniforms to soldiers coming out of basic training. Of course, there was actually a war going on at the time - two, in fact - and the universal pattern didn't work adequately in either of them. Such a perfect camouflage would save a fortune, as the Army wouldn't have to issue a new pattern every time it went to war. The pattern was designed to work in urban areas, forested areas, and desert environments. The problem is, everybody can tell, because it doesn't actually blend into anything. That's pretty much everything you need to know about its effectiveness. Our technology aims at being tough, long lasting, discreet, intelligently dry, and as light it can be.The only other country that uses the Universal Camouflage Pattern ( see the photos here) for its military is Kazakhstan. Few can say this in the times of the big boast and the fast buck. The ethic of master craft is to build hands-on, and examine the things you make. Some of these jackets have their own stories to tell – of conflicts long over of feats of the Endurance which is part of our Quality and Endurance motto of things seen only by those people who wore them in distant places of, indeed, forgotten fields. Every now and then, garments made this way come back for reproofing and repairs, and we’ll get them back into the field. The prestigious customers we serve form a special roll of honour, and we are more than grateful to supply them and to be a small part of their history.īack in the 80s, we developed a unique fabric aimed to be reliable and long-serving, and we developed a dropliner system to support our ripstop fabric. What we make also works pretty well at home on a bad day. We’ve driven the jackets onto airstrips to meet waiting aeroplanes, and sent boxes away to strange places both in the icy north and in hot deserts. Our hardy gear is used by many Special Forces, and tough military units, who depend on our quality to get their job done. We’ve been doing this for more than thirty years now.
