Since 2007 the hungarian army combat uniforms are made of 50% polyamide, 50% cotton material (instead of the former 100% cotton). However the designation of the uniform remained officially "M90", this way some soldiers wear their uniforms "mixed" (new shirt with old trousers or reversed).
Instead of the traditional peaked field cap the boonie hat is standartised as field headgear and no winter jacket in the 50% polyamide/50% cotton material is made, as the M2008 gore-tex jacket (with fleece liner) was introduced (at least on paper...).
Of course the old uniforms are still issued for a long-long time, especially because there is no money for the new uniforms in the budget.
You can check the M2008 gore-tex jacket on this video:

But only on high-ranking generals and on the President of Hungary, the simple soldiers don't receive such "exclusive" uniform pieces ...
