Hardwearing modern surplus from the USA. This American piece of kit has plenty of utility and saw use throughout the army with mechanics, engineers etc. up until multicam camouflage was introduced. It is made from a tough 50/50 cotton and nylon material which brings manoeuvrability and comfort to the whole jumpsuit.
For features you'll find several pockets, 2 zip chest pockets, 2 large hip pockets and 2 on the rear. The cuffs can be adjusted to fit any size. There's a couple velcro strips across the piece for any ID or patches you may wish to add. There's also armpit zippers for ventilation and extra flexibility. Great for yard work or as a bold urban jumpsuit.
Universal Camouflage Pattern or simply UCP is a bit of an awkward camouflage. It can work quite nicely, especially in urban environments, but the overall consensus is that it was a complete failure. Although it was general issue, it lasted less than a decade and cost the US $5 billion. The Americans' intention was to have a camouflage you could where in any biome or climate. Sadly, this wasn't the case and was a costly mistake in the field.
Nowadays though, it works quite nicely for hiding certain markings like cement. Speaking of cement, as aforementioned it is still a decent colourway in urban environments, just don't take it into a forest and expect to be invisible.
