US Marine Corps Seeks Multispectral Camouflage Overgarments

Wednesday, March 18th, 2026

In a recent Sources Sought Notice, Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC), Program Manager Combat Support Systems (PM CSS), Product Manager Combat Service Support Equipment (PdM CSSE) reached out to industry to identify potential vendors capable of developing a Multispectral Camouflage Overgarment (MCO).

This photo of the Noble booth was taken during last year’s AUSA Annual Meeting and depicts multispectral cloaks from Ametrine, FibroTex, Ghosthood, and Stealth Products Group.

According to the notice, “The MCO is intended to provide individual signature management for Marines by mitigating detection across the visual (VIS), near infrared (NIR), and short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectrums as well as suppress thermal signatures in the mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long wave infrared (LWIR) to reduce the likelihood of detection by thermal sensors.“

There are very specific performance parameters for various wavelengths and while they are not classified, I have chosen not to share them here.

The Overgarment will essentially be a cloak. The Marines are looking for a single-piece, generously-sized, draped design constructed to provide full-body coverage, including individual gear and equipment. They want to be able to quickly don and doff the cloak within 15 seconds. They also want them to be connectable with one another to make larger covers for fighting positions, shelters, and vehicles. Additionally, the Marines want a garment weighing no more than 3.5 pounds but would prefer something less than 2.0 pounds.

It will need to last for at least 90 days in operational use and have a shelf life of at least three years. It also has to be launderable and survive 25 wash cycles at a minimum.

Understandably, the MCO is not intended for routine garrison wear.

Ultimately, they plan to buy 61,222 MCOs but will buy them over several years.

Interested parties have until 22 April, 2026 to respond. For full details visit Sam.gov.

WidePlus International also integrates advanced textile finishing options such as cooling solutions, odor-control treatments, and breathable waterproof membranes. These features reflect evolving market expectations for multifunctional tactical textiles that balance operational effectiveness with wearer comfort.

By combining Hyde Definition’s camouflage expertise with WidePlus’ technical textile capabilities, the partnership aims to revitalize and stabilize the PenCott brand’s presence across global military, law enforcement, outdoor, and performance apparel and gear sectors.

Debut at EnforceTac 2026

Attendees of EnforceTac will have the first opportunity to view the new GreenZone fabrics in person at WidePlus International’s booth (#7-366). The companies plan to showcase material samples, discuss OEM opportunities, and engage with manufacturers interested in integrating the renewed camouflage platform into their product lines.

This relaunch is a welcome development following years of limited availability, signaling renewed momentum for one of the most highly regarded modern camouflage families.

Looking Ahead

GreenZone’s naturally blending colors and fractal-based, micro/macro disruptive geometry have long made it a favorite among discerning user communities in verdant environments. Hyde Definition and WidePlus International look forward to delivering the new GreenZone fabric range to support users and producers seeking mission-ready camouflage solutions.
