Canada Adopts CADPAT-MT Camouflage

In addition to adopting a new variant of CADPAT called Multi Terrain, Canada’s Department of National Defence has called upon industry to produce fabric for new uniforms in the pattern. It will replace CADPAT-TW (Temperate Woodland) as the primary camouflage pattern for Canadian forces.

Under development for the past few years, CADPAT-MT has seen a color palette refinement. An early version trialed at Petawawa in 2019 was darker with a brown dominance.

The current tender for fabric calls for an initial order of 390,000 meters followed by an order of 560,000 meters a year later. Total quantities are anticipated at 1.1 million meters.

    Waiting for someone to do the same thing with Swedish M90 camo. Love that angular pattern.

    I lived an “olive drab” life and like the name implies. It was drab. Every nato County was sporting actual cam. patterns on modern materials. So any progression towards current and modern systems is a great thing. I hated looking like a cocktail garnish.
