Camouflage suits for summer and winter

It is difficult to imagine something more courageous and brutal than a military uniform. Real men (fans of hunting, fishing and hiking) cannot imagine the right holiday without this suit. But in everyday life and everyday work, many consider camouflage an integral part of their lifestyle.

Initially, camouflage was intended for camouflage in the field. Today there are camouflage options for 5 types of terrain. From the military uniform to camouflage came a straight and comfortable style, with a large number of large patch pockets, covering the neck and arms as much as possible.

Natural dense fabrics with impregnation allow the skin to breathe in any weather. The free silhouette helps in cold or heat, does not restrict movement. Under the suit it is easy to put on thermal underwear, a sweater, and this will not affect your speed and dexterity. Everything that makes life easier for a soldier in the field quickly passed into the arsenal of experienced tourists, fishermen and hunters. Loved this form and lovers of active tactical games.

The differences between winter and summer options are significant. The season can influence not only the color of the camouflage, but also the choice of materials and their treatment with impregnations. There are no universal suits, so winter camouflage is worth mentioning separately. If a summer suit consists of a jacket (often with buttons, less often with a zipper) and trousers, which, at their discretion, are supplemented with undershirts and T-shirts, then there is some variety in winter options.

The winter uniform also consists of a jacket and semi-overalls: a high fit closes the lower back and eliminates wind, reduces heat loss if you have to lie on the ground. Adjustable, wide shoulder straps sit comfortably on the shoulders, adjusting the suit to the desired height. Jackets are insulated with lightweight materials, additionally equipped with a fleece lining and a membrane fabric. The fastening of winter jackets is double: the inner fastener in front with a zipper must be closed with a smell, which is fixed with buttons or Velcro.

The choice of summer models depends on the destination. If you wear the uniform for a short time and in almost comfortable conditions (hiking, living in an equipped camp), then the Flora model, designed for summer field service, may be the easiest option. It is well known as the most common soldier's uniform - loose, comfortable, with button closures, affordable, durable and practical. But if you are going on a long trip and you have wishes for additional protection from wind, insects and rain, then choose more expensive and specialized options.

Some of the most complex camouflage patterns are those used by the active army. Each country develops several variants of its own drawing, taking into account the landscape, vegetation and climate as much as possible. Separate prints can be created for a specific service. Models are created taking into account additional equipment (weapons) and the characteristics of the service, therefore they are very different from the form of city services.

Waterproof suits are used not only by the military, but also by summer residents, tourists and mushroom pickers. For clothing, a certain weaving, impregnation and synthetic fabric are used.Such suits are made not only in sets (semi-overalls or trousers and a jacket), but also separately in jackets with a hood. A universal option - a poncho, easily adjustable to a person's height. Very lightweight model that can be easily rolled up and folded, takes up little space and is light in weight.

Hunting requires some of the best suits. It is they who merge best with the terrain, do not allow insects to pester and make it easy to endure temperature changes, wind and rain. Examples of such models are St. John's wort, Arsenal. Functional, durable, with reinforced elbows and knees, comfortable jackets, not noisy. The composition of the fabric often includes reinforced threads, which the manufacturer will definitely mention.

The most simple costumes are offered for outdoor activities and competitions. If tactical games require any protection, then lightweight options should be breathable, hygroscopic and comfortable. But in hot weather, they protect from the scorching heat and allow you to play sports without discomfort. The affordable and simple Flora model is often chosen as a light suit.

In the conditions of urban service, employees of structures are often faced with the task not to hide, but to stand out. Since the hands do not always need to be protected, summer suits often consist of a short-sleeved shirt or T-shirt. For such a form, it is no longer so important to have impregnation from insects or moisture and wind protection. But strength, lightness, comfort and practicality (easy to clean, wash and iron) are extremely important.

This is one of the first camouflage options that began to be used in the Soviet army."birch" or "silver leaf" is a two-color pattern, when there are small blotches of a contrasting color on a plain base. For summer, it is a rich green (like birch leaves) with a silvery or golden “leaf” (hence the name), for winter it is white with dark, almost black marks.

"Oak" and "Butane" - this is how the well-known tricolor pattern of irregular spots of light, green and brown with a predominance of green was called. It was invented back in 1984 for the troops of the USSR, but even today it is used in the army of Ukraine.

This is a modern pattern that easily adapts to the forest thicket. The almost photographic clarity of the image is surprising in how easy it is to create: an imitation of the color of the bark and its pattern and leaves against the background of the trunks. The peculiarity of the print is the variety of options (autumn, winter and summer palettes, as well as selected tree species).

This drawing was invented not so long ago by the Americans, the original coloring with areas of high and blurry definition with imitation of snake skin. The option is multifunctional and will hide the fighter well in different climatic zones.

The gray color is used for target camouflage: it not only perfectly "hides" fighters in some zones (desert, steppe, mountains), but is also able to mask fairly large objects. It is in gray that planes and ships are most often painted, making them less visible to the human eye.

In winter and on snow cover, it is difficult to imagine a better disguise than white protective suits.

Saturated black and graphite has firmly entered the uniforms of law enforcement agencies - it merges with the terrain in the dark, in inclement weather in late autumn. He is most often chosen for the work of organs in the city.

Blue shades in uniform are used by employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, it is often chosen by hunters and fishermen. The “game” of a person in blue camouflage will not be seen, but for their own hunters they will be easily distinguishable on white snow.

Pink camouflage is used exclusively for the design of women's wardrobe and things.

High demands are placed on camouflage: light and breathable materials are used, choosing natural fabrics as the basis. The basis for camouflage is often tent fabric (it is completely made of cotton). Suits are also made from rip-stop material (half cotton, half polyester), which enhances the protective properties. Demi-season and winter options are insulated with fleece, and the filler for winter models is holofiber or synthetic winterizer, in some models - a membrane. Taffetta is used as a lining - artificial silk.

It is important to understand where, why and when you will wear it. For tourism and a number of physical works, they offer a multifunctional and practical "Hill", which comes in different colors and for any season. For hunting, fishing, in the forest and in the swamp, a suit with encephalitis protection will be more useful, it is also called Antignus.

The size is determined by the circumference of the chest. Models are available for children, women and men. The suit should be comfortable to stand, lie down, and move a lot and quickly, because a real trip can require much more physical skills than it might seem. The suit should not be tight or short. If you often have to "customize" for yourself, pay attention to models with a free edge (demi-overalls and anorak windbreakers) or with an elastic band sewn into the waistband or cuffs.

The most affordable purchase in military uniform and camouflage stores will be camouflage robes and rain suits (within 1000 rubles). Light summer suits and uniforms will cost a little more (from 1200), but protective suits with impregnation and protection against ticks, midges and mosquitoes for the summer season should be looked for at least 1300 rubles. The more original models or materials for the form, the more expensive it becomes. For example, the cost of Gorka suits for the summer will be from 3000-3500 rubles.

The Russian version is called "predator", it is well suited for camouflage and long-term ambush in difficult conditions. The hood and mesh protect the face from wind and insects, the original style saves from wind and cold and is very practical.

Softshell is a western design with a simple design that fits perfectly into the men's wardrobe. Jackets "Condor" are light, dark and colors. Multicam (Multicam), the hood can be hidden in the stand-up collar. The jacket is supplied with 7 pockets, external on a lightning. The seams are neat, the fittings are of high quality, it fastens with a zipper.Demi-season options are insulated with a multi-layer construction and a membrane fabric.

Separate elements of camouflage fit easily into the men's wardrobe and are combined with the usual "civilian" clothing for casual and sports style. Therefore, the military print itself moved from camouflage to the wardrobe of men and women, emphasizing their active lifestyle and purposeful nature. Such a suit can open up an active holiday for you in a new way!
