WOW! Some of the quick mockup suits, including ones I've never seen before! Oh, and the elusive 4 color desert helmet cover too 
I'd love to see some pics of the all green variations, especially the one that doesn't seem to be DPM at all.
Well done!

I never realised that the Tantalus kit by Ilasco was made by Keela, or more to the point that they were one in the same company

Totally agree James, I found this out last year trying to track down the ‘Arid’ material!

Nice pics! Thanks for posting.
I wonder what the story is with that non-DPM pattern. As far as I can remember #8 is the first unique pattern I've seen as part of PECOC. I know they tested UCP and something else "off the shelf", but this thing is really different.
I really like that green DPM pattern with the black. I think it work very well in a tropical environment. The one without the black looks to be too light colored and not contrasty enough to work in most green environments.
At this point I'm wondering how many dozens more patterns were tested that we don't know about!

Always interested Sean!! yes I am confused also, these seem to be a different line to those that went into production... they are very out there. Interestingly also, they are different materials... regarding the jackets, I don’t understand the hood type attachment?!

They look like the hood attachments used on the USA M65 jackets, made of thinner material than the main jacket so that it tucked down into a zip on the back of the neck.
