I'm surprised it faded that much with so few washes. However, I do not think it degrades the camouflage quality at all. In fact, it might even improve it a bit for some situations.

The digi desert stuff also fades that quick. I personally dont like the fading but thats just me.
I didnt get one of those when they where cheap and plentiful, so it was about time:

Well, at least I had one Austrian item in my collection before you 
Congrats getting the desert rank. I don't think I have that. Far rarer than the uniform itself.

Thats the first austrian modified DCU jacket Ive ever seen, which has no patches sewn on directly but instead has velcro panels for the patches.

Alltough not an official issued rank insignia yet, it seems they are now more and more getting used.
Most likely made during a KFOR mission trip on an unit level.

Awesome collection Alex! the Austrian stuff always seems to be of really high quality. Do you by chance have a source for the fleeces? been wanting to get one for a while now, but no succes.

Any truth to the rumour that there is a new style of Combat trouser with removable kneepads in Tarananzug Neu already on issue and a Softshell type jacket on trial?

There are several types of combat pants around. Sniper version (already being issued) and I think at least two types of combat pants (still experimental). There's also a sniper smock. A regular smock (Gefechtsjacke) and, yes, a softshell jacket should also come!
And btw it's just called "Tarnanzug", that's the official designation.
