Platatac showed their Jungle Uniform consisting of GBH-J hat, Jungle “Kurtz” Shirt and Jungle Dax Pants, all manufactures from lightweight Apocalypse fabric in the MultiCam print.
The Hat features mesh panels. The Shirt incorporates five pockets with lanyard points, including a compass pocket at the chest. The Pants have a drawstring waist, and mesh lined large hip pockets.
Interestingly, the display also included the new Danner Jungle Boot, recently selected by the US Marine Corps. In addition to the rough out leather and nylon uppers, these unlined. Boots incorporate a Panama-style sole.
“Apocalypse fabric”
curious what that is?
Seems to be a very same fabric as the one in Beyond Equatorial uniforms.
Looking at this tells me we had it right with woodland and LBEs and that the computers aren’t as smart as the men on the ground
That center placket pocket is very interesting to me, looks like a good way to get small stuff out from under the suspenders. Now I’m wondering why they don’t either
1) offset the front opening and set one of the larger pockets closer to center
2) go to side entry Napoleon pockets like the British PCS shirts that would be easier to access with a harness like that.
It’s probably a compass pocket. Regular feature on UKSF jungle fatigues back in the DPM days.
Compass pocket, most likely put there as per customer specs, I’ve seen it done on another company’s jungle uniform made for a SOF unit that required it.
Pretty much a standard mod that British squaddies (both sf and regular )do to the uniform in the jungle so that the silva or suntto compass is easily accessible
It’s literally in the description.
