Simple ‘as.
The lightweight jacket you’ll love. It’ll be comfy, tucked or loosely worn on top of a shirt or other base layer, depending on the season and your needs for warmth. With more pockets then we can list (we still did, I think…) and features without end, what isn’t to love? Stay warm on sunny days, keep dry from the rain, and withstand chilling winds, the options of how and where you’ll set this up are virtually endless. This shirt will overcome whatever is thrown at it, all while keeping that concealment mint! With a camouflage pattern intended for multiple theaters, what isn’t there to love? So what are you waiting for? Once you read through the short essay we’ve written on features, functions and history of both the shirt, its’ system, and its’ history, we’ll be shocked if this item isn’t at least on the back of your mind in terms of essential kit to grab!
Personal Clothing System (PCS)
These British Army MTP camouflage cargo pants are part of the English effort to modernize their aging military apparatus in their new Personal Clothing System (PCS) program. Much like Ratnik, the PCS is a multi-layered “future infantry combat system,” that intends to have a comprehensive setup of clothing to ensure that soldiers of the British Military have all their needs met, both in terms of a baseline of preparation and multi purpose functions that may unexpectedly arise. This series replaced the CS95 series uniform system.
MTP
The Multi-Terrain Pattern or MTP for short is the current camouflage standard implemented by the British Armed Forces. This new camo phased out DPM during the “Urgent Operational Requirement” in which the United Kingdom needed a non woodland pattern domestic pattern for operations in Afghanistan, keeping the Helmand Province in mind as the priority biome palette. During this time, three patterns were competed for the contract offered by the British Ministry of Defence's (MOD) Personal Equipment and Common Operational Clothing (PECOC) programme, of which MTP won. MTP was intended for multi environment use, as the three aforementioned patterns were used field-tested in multiple theaters including Kenya, across the United Kingdom, and Afghanistan.

Field Notes/Misty Supply Musings/Potential Uses/Trivia
MTP uniforms are commonly seen in Ukraine today, worn by both sides in the conflict, but mostly by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and friends. It blends well with many other Tan camouflage patterns, and can be layered in with many different patterns to assist in breaking up that silhouette baby!
