My guess is that the Para's figured they should make the most of the remaining time left to wear DPM, so they're going to do it right!Easy Gee wrote:These guys look well retro in their DPM's,amazing really,as now we are so used to seeing MTP,these pics just go to show that DPM is definitely here to stay...for the meantime

lammasulyon wrote:the reason why its hard to get is because of:
1. Every set is the property of the New Zealand Government, so it must be kept at all times;
2. The New Zealand Army is ver small; so the issue of uniform is also small;
3. ive been told by my uncle, some uniforms are actually 'recycled' on occasion, so the chances of surplus gear are almost nil.

Yeah good point Mate, I've gotta admit though I'm a fan of Ozcam, only got one shirt..but it's a fave
I have yet to get hold of any Kiwi DPM, never seen it for sale,except Ebay,where it's way to expensive
