Royal Navy Trials New Working Uniforms

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

Royal Navy personnel are conducting wear test of a new new PCS working uniform aboard the new HMS Daring during its first deployment. This new uniform consists of T-shirt, shirt, thermal fleece and windproof jacket as well as trousers with slanted pockets to accommodate access while seated. There are also boots that feature zips as well as laces for rapid donning. The shirt’s collar can also be turned up and fastened instantly with Velcro to help protect from flame threats. Additionally, it’s in a new dark blue color rather than the light blue found on the current No 4 Dress. What’s even more interesting about this new uniform is that it is the same cut as the PCS uniform used by the UK’s ground combatants.

Further testing will be conducted aboard the Type 23 frigate HMS Westminster and the Trafalgar Class submarine HMS Talent.
