NEW Austrian camo

Its for sure a very weird thing. The uniform was only used for a short period by the SF and they didnt produce that many uniforms. They are even using left over fabric to make face masks at the moment to issue it to soldiers because of the corona-virus. I would be very surprised if the offered stuff is real.

I am strictly against corruption or undercover activities in any form.
Do you think you have to inform any state service about this fact?
I am ready to help with translation, in case of need.

Well Its not a big deal when it comes to austrian laws about military uniforms.
Austrian army issue stuff gets sold as surplus for many years. I just ment that the whole offer is just either badly spelled or badly put together- when it comes to the pictures and the description-. It could be possible that they got their hands on some of this older SF issue camo stuff, since the uniform is not longer used, if thats the fact the trousers must be very used and worn. But I cant imagine, maybe they just put something together with surplus fabrics. Who knows. Since the description is as you said, funny.

Alex, in any case, if I can be help you, just say a word.
If this web-shop sells something illegal, I am ready to help the Austrian Law.

Well the new camo uniform is very slowly being issued. One battalion the JgB18 has it fully issued, they started with another battalion a few weeks ago.

Which Battalion Alex?

The Panzergrenadierbataillon 13.

KAZ 03 trials backpack, made by CQC, not many of them survived in this good condition.

nice backpack that is and in excellent condition. very good catch A, congrats.

Hello, Alex!

Nice back-pack!
Does the word "Erprobung" on the white tag mean that this is test sample, or the thing made for field testing?

Oh, this post landed in the wrong thread.

Yes erprobung means test, or trial item.

Finally got my hands on something I've been wanting to add to my hoard.

These trouser are certainly cutting edge and deserve a good basic going over.   There are lots of great features here and a couple I have not seen in other high speed gear.   Great buttons and attention to details.

Unexpectedly light weight and incredibly comfortable once you have it all adjusted.  Thanks A !




                                                                                                                                                              



                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   


                                                                                                                                                      



                                                                                                                                                 

Yes they are very cool trousers. The material is as you said very comfy and honestly, I like it more than the new-none digi camo uniforms. Kind of sad that this camo is already history.

It may be history, but it remains a great pattern..besides being a great piece of kit.

Any further update on the rollout of the new pattern Alex?? Has the UBACS entered service yet?

The new ,,true,, combat uniform in the new pattern including UBACS, jacket and trousers is getting issued already but in very limited numbers so far. Trousers look similar to the special forces trousers above. Also have the same ,,special,, knee pads.

Interesting.So there are two different trousers out there in the new pattern.A Barracks version for day to day use and a combat/field version with enhanced features?

Yes. But from what I was told the combat uniform will not be issued to everyone.

That was to be expected. I bet our special KIOP/KPE friends will get it first.

Any pictures doing the rounds of this new kit?

Already in use in Mali:
