Choose the camouflage! But which one?
Military camouflage has been an established combat technique since World War I, from which point the idea of visual deception became a fundamental military tactic.
Military camouflage has been an established combat technique since World War I, from which point the idea of visual deception became a fundamental military tactic. Today, clothing issued to soldiers is produced with various camouflage patterns, allowing units to remain hidden during deployments in diverse environments. The spread of military style in everyday civilian wear is increasingly common, and in urban jungles, the combination of green, brown, and grey has conquered the fashion world. You can also find materials with various patterns in Alpha's collection.
Brushstroke
This pattern was devised during World War II for British paratroopers. It was created by mixing various colors applied with large brushstrokes onto a basic khaki background, and garments made from such camouflage material proved exceptionally useful in enemy territory. This design became truly popular in the 1960s.
ERDL
This camouflage design was created by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Laboratory (ERDL). The pattern depicts leaves, twigs, and the black ends of branches.
US Woodland
Created using the ERDL pattern, but on this material, the four colors appear much more intensely than on the original design. Nearly all US armed forces personnel wore uniforms in this pattern between 1981 and 2006. Alpha used it in the production of the M-65 starting in 1966 and manufactured it for US Army soldiers until 1990.
Night vision
The first N-3B parka was produced in the mid-1950s for USAF personnel working in extremely cold climates. The United States military used the Slim Fit N-3B parka with a two-color pattern during the Gulf War to help soldiers hide from night vision devices.
Tiger Stripe
In the 1960s, the brushstroke material was adapted for deployments in Vietnam. The black, brown, and green stripes effectively concealed soldiers in the rainforests of Southeast Asia. The military used these patterns until the end of the war when producing special forces clothing.
MultiCam
This pattern was developed for US troops deployed in Afghanistan. Desert and mountain sections alternate in these areas, which is why varying the concealment colors was important. The MultiCam camouflage was designed to provide adequate protection for the wearer in any terrain, weather, and lighting conditions. The surface contains over a hundred separate image layers and an iguana-like pattern.
