              Is the Irish Flag gonna be on Velcro, or does it have to be stitched?

                I think they'll never see it as the organisation will be well disbanded by that stage.

                    I agree with most of Paul's comments.

                    * zips to replace buttons on pants and smocks, smock breast to have zips for side opening
                    Zips have a dirty habit of breaking when you need them most
                    * new norgie with better tech specs dpm
                    [ why ? ]
                    * new fleece dpm with better specs and soft shell
                    [ the current fleece is excellent I think ]

                    * small irish flag replaced with larger irish flag [ why bother ]
                    * new df logo and irish defence forces "name tag over left pocket all smocks, shirts etc
                    [ why bother, who cares ]
                    * dryflo to be dpm with velcro for rank markings
                    [ again what a stupid mistake , for those who buy COTS driflo off the web from rvops and other manufacturers. ]
                    * che che to replace shemagh in irish dpm
                    * barcode on all issue
                    * pockets on shirt to be designed like kaki shirt
                    * renforced groin area in pants
                    * elmer fud hat to have df logo [ who gets this hat anyway ? ]

                      The Dryflo DPM is a good idea as they will be better when wearing BA as opposed to wearing a dry flo and shirt in 30-40 degree heat abroad

                        In order,
                        keep you warmer so you won't have to get your own gear, dpm though not the best idea, will be work as outer garment.

                        Again the same as above.

                        To reduce costs on buying 2 flags and having to have the larger one over seas, it all adds up.

                        No one, increasing costs, contritely to previous point.

                        Velcro good idea but whoever said for it to be in dpm should get a slap.

                        Tthe nordic battle group got them. The logo ,again raising costs as already stated.

                        I would rather just wear the shirt than both, one flash fire and you have a nice case of skin+remains of dryflow and a nice couple of plastic surgery operations to "fix" your skin.

                          Will all the items now being made in DPM be IRR treated? The Brits used to issue DPM fleeces too, until they realised that they lit up like a christmas tree under IR light.

                            A question,

                            Does anybody know what stock the DF has of current issue kit, or how new kit is to be rolled out???.

                            Doe we know if the Fleece/Norwegian is available to RDF. I'm asking this as it is coming into winter and i have a Pl who have no Fleeces/Norgie/ jumpers, and parading outdoors the troops are suffering.

                              Could be worse, the US have velcro on all pockets!
