Nov 22, 2007 · This is a night camo parka as you stated.There were also trousers that went with these.They were more of a pullover style with a draw cord at the waist.These camo sets were more common to the first Gulf War...Desert Storm.These were over garments as the tag states and were worn over the day time uniform.The liner for the parks were the same type of material as used in the field jackets but ...

Nov 23, 2010 · About a year ago I saw a North Face-manufactured prototype uniform that was said to be for night use in snow conditions. The outer shell color reminded me of a black/grey/white night desert camo "grid" type color scheme. It …

Jan 18, 2022 · Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but Amazon sells a night camo helmet cover for an ACH helmet. Made by OSdream. At $20.00 probably made in China but I would check it out anyway.

Dec 20, 2020 · Same company made both woodland and 6 color desert M1 covers with the same bogus NSN and PII. This is probably the closest there ever came to an official night desert helmet cover, to me it looks like a scrap of cloth with no tailoring stretched over the experimental PASGT.

Aug 19, 2022 · I remember seeing some very early Goretex jackets in a reversible 3 color DCU/desert nighttime camo around 1990 - 91. I was in an SF unit (3/1 SFG at Fort Lewis, WA) and we got some experimental/limited edition stuff issued to our line companies.

May 9, 2009 · Yeh the night desert side, the jacket has a small zip pocket on the left. You turn that inside out and push the jacket in and zip it sealed. The trousers have the same sort of system too. As for size, my Issue one camo sided large gore-tex jacket is miles bigger than these.

Jun 1, 2011 · Perhaps the hood on the night camo jackets were meant to be used to cover the helmet. I'd imagine removing and replacing the standard 6-color desert camo cover with a night camo cover all the time would be a bit of a hassle. If you have even a passing interest in the PASGT, the book I noted is worth looking into, and fairly inexpensive.

May 21, 2008 · Hi, yes the 1980's ealier style with the back flap, usually smaller white tags inside with dates of 1981, resemble the fist large production run of this camo garmnet. Though I have only seen the central pleat to the pocket on the 72 contract and the other BDU that i posted in the other thread, the special forces Airborne bdu.
