Our friends at Varusteleka shared these images of a recent photo session testing some gear and skiing. They believe that Finnish M05 snow camo is the best snow camo and they seem to have a point. Proper Finnish design, simple yet effective.

Thursday, February 10th, 2022TNVC Presents the M81 Woodland Collection – Custom and Exclusive Products in a Cold War Classic
Wednesday, February 9th, 2022
February 9th, 2022
TNVC is excited to celebrate the kick-off of our Annual virtual Shooting, Hunting, Outdoors, & Tactical Tele-event (vSHOTT) with the official launch of the TNVC M81 Woodland Collection, a collection of custom and exclusive / specifically selected products and accessories in the classic M81 Woodland Camouflage Pattern.
tnvc.com/shop/category/woodland-collection
M81 Woodland is one of the most prolific and iconic camouflage patterns of the modern era, it was the standard camouflage pattern for all four services before the Global War on Terror. It holds a special place in many people’s hearts, especially veterans, from those who wore starched and creased BDUs with spit shined boots, to those who invented the modern combat uniform with RAID Mods and other mission specific adaptations.
TNVC has partnered with some of the leading companies in the industry, including Ops-Core, OTTE Gear, Tactical Tailor, and others to bring a range of products and support for this Cold War Classic that so many of us were brought up on, and can still be quite effective in many environments.
To launch the M81 Woodland Collection, TNVC has partnered with Ops-Core as the Exclusive Commercial Distributor of Woodland Pattern FAST Helmets, starting with the FAST SF Helmet, based on the USSOCOM SPEAR FTHS (Family of Tactical Head-borne Systems) Ground Ballistic Helmet.

These special TNVC Exclusive FAST SFs have the same durable, hydrodipped finish used on the standard Multicam FAST SF helmet, and have all of the same features of the standard FAST SF/FTHS, including the industry leading Vented Lux Liner and OCC Dial suspension, Skeleton ARC Rails and shims, as well as the 3-Hole Modular Bungee Shroud (MBS) to mount mission critical equipment such as Night Vision Goggles.
M81 Woodland Helmets are currently inbound, and initial orders should ship within 1-2 weeks, with many more on the way in all sizes!
To accompany the M81 FAST SF, we are also re-releasing the TNVC Mohawk Gen. 2 Helmet Counterweight and Accessory System in M81 Woodland, with all three variants (MK 1 Counterweight & Battery Tray, MK 2 ANVIS LPBP and similar, MK 3 L3Harris CWBP and similar) currently available in stock:

The well-known camouflage system manufacturer from Germany started 2018 with lightweight products for police and military special forces. The base for these camouflage systems is a thin fabric, that is printed with the CONCAMO® camouflage pattern with high standards for near infrared colors. CONCAMO® offers three patterns for different environments.
The patterns are named after their dominant color. So the green pattern is mainly for areas with green vegetation, the brown pattern for autumn or brown deserts and the beige one is for sand, beige deserts and also usable for the urban environment. Focus of these products is the lightweight and breathable design. As well as a easy to use and multiuse functionality of the product.
For American customers these products were not easy to get. But now GHOSTHOOD® started to offer USA shipping for 29,99€ (approx. $33.94).

Platatac’s Tet Offensive
Monday, January 31st, 2022In late 2019 deep in the Platatac development skunk works we were made aware of some upcoming adversary training requirements by various units around the world and the demand for a low volume, high quality, battle proven modern combat uniform in a non-issue camouflage pattern.
It was a perfect fit for Platatac with a long history of developing and producing short run camouflage patterns for previous clients such as Australian SOCOMD with digitised Auscam & Marine Cam and numerous projects with UK MOD and many more that will never see the light of day.
The obvious choice for this was Tigerstripe, and so the quest to bring this project to life began. Tigerstripe came to prominence during the Vietnam War but was never an official US issue item, personnel permitted to wear it at first had their uniforms custom-made by local Vietnamese tailors so it was a perfect fit for what we had planned.
What started out as a need for OpFor combat uniforms quickly snow balled in complexity as the product range expanded and we tried to navigate the ever changing challenges of Covid-era logistics and continuous unexpected delays along the way.
The next challenge was to find a high quality fabric that would be up to the rigors of the abuse the end users expect our products to handle, although Platatac is well known and for our ability to develop and digitise patterns in house the decision was made to expedite the project in early 2021 and partner with Flimmuur Tactical UK who was well down the path developing a Tigerstripe pattern with a nod to the classic faded look of the original Vietnam era pieces but on modern ripstop NyCo.
Fast forward to the anniversary of the Tet Offensive in 1968 and Platatac is proud to present an exclusive collaboration with Flimmuur UK in partnership with OPTactical in the US, bringing to life a reproduction of a classic weathered Tigerstripe pattern in a modern tactical uniform.
Available exclusively in limited numbers from:

Saab Provides Camouflage Systems to France
Thursday, January 20th, 2022
Saab has signed a framework contract for the supply of its Barracuda multispectral camouflage systems with the French defence procurement agency, Direction générale de l’armement (DGA). The contract includes the delivery of new camouflage systems as well as a system adaptation phase in cooperation with the DGA. The contract is for eight years and provides for annual deliveries.
With this cooperation, the DGA and the French Army will benefit from Saab’s global network and more than 60 years of expertise in the field of advanced camouflage systems. This programme has a pioneering character and is organised in different cooperation phases. In addition to the delivery of the most advanced camouflage systems for the operational areas of the French Army, the order includes a joint work phase during which the Barracuda camouflage solutions will be specifically adapted to the French Army’s operational requirements.
“The first phase of this programme will fine-tune the specification of the multispectral camouflage nets in order to meet the specific requirements of the French Army. The provided technology will enhance the user’s ability to remain undetected in the battlefield where the development of more capable and accessible sensors drastically increases the need for efficient camouflage,” says Henning Robach, head of business unit Saab Barracuda.
Solarmtex S.A.S, located in Vierzon, will be the local industrial and distribution partner for Saab’s Barracuda signature management and camouflage products in France. Saab’s Barracuda advanced camouflage systems have been delivered to more than 45 countries. Saab offers a unique package of advanced state-of-the art Barracuda camouflage systems and protection solutions, designed to limit the enemy’s detection and attack capabilities. Various solutions and configurations are available to protect camps, individuals, vehicles, weapon stations, sensors equipment and other assets in any type of terrain or environment.
