Multi-terrain pattern (MTP) warm weather combat trousers, 2011 (fabric)

Multi-terrain pattern (MTP) warm weather combat trousers, 2011. MTP warm weather lightweight trousers were part of the Personal Clothing System (PCS), designed to suit the different environments troops faces on the front line. The material was treated with Permethrin, a synthetic chemical that acts as an insect repellent. MTP camouflage was designed to blend with the range of environments in Afghanistan and was developed after extensive laboratory tests and field evaluations, which included aerial and scientific photography to provide the right colours and brightness for the new pattern. Computer modelling was used to represent the deserts and mixed environments in Afghanistan. MTP combat clothing replaced the previous Combat 95 uniform.
