NBC suit

Picked up a '79 dated NBC suit new in the package to add to me collection




This is an '84 dated OD model from my collection



And an '85 dated M81 model

Great examples of these often overlooked garments Parafal!

I have an 85 dated woodland jacket in my collection, but mine has pockets on the arms, I thought mine like yours was an M81 model, I not not so sure now?

"M81" denotes the camouflage pattern - not the garment pattern.

--Parafal, you're into NBC gear?

I've got an groundcrew coverall, chemical protective & fire-resistant that I'd be happy to part with to someone who actually collects the stuff.: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8026/7415475182_aa84865448_c.jpg

PM me if you're interested.

Good point John, I forgot that,just like British DPM. Any idea what model my jacket would be with arm pockets

I had a pair of these trousers when I went on school work experience on a building site back in the late 80's early 90's. Nice and thick warm trousers for work but I would hated to fight in them as over trousers. I remember the trousers having white army stencil letting all over them like camo , think they said exercise on then ?

Gary,
your suit is known as a Class 1 model, the trousers for the set look almost like BDU's with the pockets on the side instead of in the front.
Class 1 suits came in Woodland and Class 2 suits where 6 color day desert pattern.
