Personal Clothing
The Combat 95 clothing system has to satisfy stringent military requirements covering infrared reflection, thermal signature and flame resistance.
It is based on the layer principle and is designed to provide the soldier with exactly the right degree of protection for any operational environment. The British soldier can expect to operate in extreme climatic conditions, from the jungles of Belize to the arctic wastes of Norway.

The change in British camouflage pattern is the first in 40 years.
