    Is it IRR treated? The Brits used to issue a DPM fleece, but switched to a green version when they realised that it was about as IRR as a clown suit.

      No it is replacing the Jumper and both fleece and norgie.It will be worn in lieu of smock around barracks over the shirt.

      Dont know about how IRR it is.The brits changed to OG fleeces also beacuse the Sgt's major of the various units banned it from being worn as outer wear.Hence printing in DPM was a waste of money.

            The bad thing is we can't get our troops issued either norgies or fleeces becuase this new bit of kit is coming soon.

            So it should be available to the RDF as well since we can no longer get any other cold weather gear.

            Sooner rather then later please.

              Saw a US soldier (officer) wearing their fleece the other day. Patches included to take nametags and rank markings. Looked well.


              Catch-22 says they have a right to do anything we can't stop them from doing.

                                I've see it, its not bad, i think the pockets are like that so people don't walk around with there hands in them, think there only for holding the odd thing. I don't get the shoulder rank holders are there, could it have something to do with the sniper smock having them too? maybe the manufacture?
