M90T

Post by ripcord Sun May 14, 2017 1:17 pm

Found this photo ( and others ) of a ripstop M90 type called M90T for Tropical.
This type is much lighter than M90L ( for Lightweight ) and is made in Estonia.

M90T S-l16014

Ah!! So this is the mythical M90T!! Awesome Smile

Do you know if it has replaced the M90L completely, or is this being issued in parallel? I would think they would ditch M90L at some point if they haven't already.

This is the one.

Would love to see matching trousers...

Dont have any info , but dont think M90L would be scrapped alltogheter.

Apparently these uniforms have been in use for some time..

Very interesting. It makes sense to use a lightweight variant since the M90L is quite
thick and not comfy in summer/hot enviroments. I like it.

Looks like it's cut almost identical to M90K type.

Aaaaaaaaand the USAF is still looking foolish in that stupid vanity pattern of ABU. Mad

I really wish they'd have just gone to OCP like the Army.

Never say never..

I've been surprised more than once.

ABU pattern should just go away now..

The colors dont work anywhere except maybe on a runway..

If there's anyone on this forum who's got a shot at landing those 2 patterns out of the lot of us, it's you. Or Gilles! You guys are fully "plugged-in" to the global camo market. lol!
