[@highfructosedreams]

My guess why M65 jackets don't feature in many Vietnam movies is simply that the weather was too warm during shooting for it to be practical.

[@forrestgreene1139]

March into the 80s and watch "Stripes". Everybody wears an M-65.

Hi! Austrian here. If you want a really nice jacket there is a fleece jacket of the KAZ 03 that is really confortabe. (there is a reason for it being the most lost/misplaced/stolen item by recruits)

[@FEINDKONTAKT.]

It's pity that Austrians are influenced of shitty tendency inspired by Americans to have a shitty camouflage. In my opinion classic dark olive is the best camo for all situations (among desert of course).

[@blrdgg6571]

Yea it really is, especially since, with exception of UF Pro, the people who are actually putting in work are going to be wearing Multicam Cryes anyways. I mean I can understand having different patterns for different environments. That seems logical, but trying to shoehorn in a universal camouflage, because the US did it and it'll give a fat contract to some textile manufacturer, is unfortunate. At least the Netherland's Fractal Pattern is applicable to their environment. If you're interested, I have a video on my channel about their new camouflage as well.

[@FEINDKONTAKT.]

@@blrdgg6571 yeah, agree. thanx, I'll check it:)

[@deepwashington499]

Personally I miss when the US actually use camouflage that made sense I remember back in the very early 2000s they use three color desert then replaced it with UCP which was a stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen I guess it's a good thing to make an a turnaround but to address the Austrian problem yeah I see where you're coming from it's a shame the uniform they had wasn't bad I don't see the point of changing it now it's just money down the drain also forgive the grammar I used the voice to text.

I did tested OD BDUs in this summer with my friend in the local forest turned out it was really really great. My buddy couldn't find me there. He is also a fan OD stuff. Simple and easy.

Austrian milsurp is some of my favorite! The practicality and quality mixed with the understated color makes for really worthwhile stuff.

[@foxy_0919]

the old green uniform looked way more badass

[@brianzawodniak1075]

M-65s in Southeast Asia were normally issued to units in the highlands in small numbers. Remember that Vietnam is a tropical climate, so field jackets were not really common at all..

[@blrdgg6571]

Thanks for the thoughtful answer. That makes a lot of sense.

[@steven_003]

Styria is pronounced like Syria, just with the “t” slid in there. The German name is Steiermark. Also the SEK camo isn’t typically refered to as Kernöleierspeiß. It’s the new camouflage with this nickname. As pumpkinseed oil is very popular in Styria, and the camo was first issued to the Jäger Battalion 18 in Upper Styria and looks a bit like the dish.

[@beyondbackwater4933]

Such a shame. Solid colour looks so good.

It’s Americanisation of European forces. The majority of NATO member’s armies such as the UK etc are all now using US patented gear from helmets down to boots. Some units, if it weren’t for insignia or other minor details, are becoming indistinguishable from American infantry units.

Me a soldier in the austrian army looking for a foreigner to insult our trash uniforms. Gotta say I'm dissapointed. The buttons break the croch splits revealing the privates( happened to a DI still lmao) if you kneel, it does'protect you legs from pinching objects like sticks stones, plants etc, after a while it becomes dark green cs the sweat gets stuck altho not as bad. No back pockets, as a matter of fact even the front pockets suck, I had a comrade stuff all his 9mm bullets and it just went down his foot right in the gutter, ngl it was so hilarious that he didn't even get extra punishment, besides a few pushups and some comments. Only good thing are the amount of pockets and the armpits which has cut holes for your sweat.

[@bojanglesthewizard8875]

They shouldve gone with the OCP uniforms if they really wanted to change. It works well in all sorts of environments on top of being widely used among a lot of countries. Their new uniform looks cheap and it doesnt look like itll be able to blend in with any sort of environment. I guess they didnt learn from the US Armys last uniform that was a huge failure
