The human eye does a really bad job of discerning red when intermixed into camouflage. It tends to take on the look of the surroundings instead of appearing as red to your eye -- it's really weird.

The all in one concept in the first uniform pattern seems like a good idea for a reserve based army like Switzerland's. Less kit to issue, you don't have to worry about people not bring everything to drills, and in the event of rapid mobilization all you have to do is put on your uniform. On the downside I'm sure it was uncomfortable and inflexible. It was probably a better idea to issue out a standalone kit and hope the reservist don't lose it.

It's not like that today the entering service uniform is the camouflaged Taz 90 Back in years, we entering service /war mobilization in tenue B Woolen all Green coat, pant of same pattern fabric. We distributed the corps material only when men are in their mobilization places. It was, camouflaged clothes with helmet cover, sleeping bag, foam mattress, exercise/or sealed combat gas mask filter. Leather protective cover for shoes.

These used to be dirt cheap and the amount of variation among the individual pieces was amazing. I've been to the old SwissLink warehouse in Paradise Caifornia and they had thousands of these sets. You'd pick five jackets and they were all different in some way- modified, padding added here or there, sleeves and pant legs shortened, waists taken in, you name it. Many would have padding in the bottom of the big pockets in the back of the jacket made from wild fabrics obviously added by wives or girlfriends. The really nice part of the Swiss stuff is A) the camo works better than you might think, and B) if you're a bigger guy, you can find it in your size since the Swiss serve till their 40s so they come in "grown up man" sizes (instead of 18 year old kid size). Also, pockets!

Personally, I love all the big pockets on the M70 jacket The fabric is heavy duty though I have removed the arms and the large back pocket to make them lighter and cooler unless using it for winter gear! The backpack works well with the side pockets large enough to carry two-quart soda bottles! The M70 pants are pretty baggie but they work well as cold weather over pants! I got lucky and bought a bunch for $5 per jacket and $1 per backpack. I wear glasses so I really like the attached hood with the face cover though i find that I need to wear a ball cap to keep the 'generous' hood out of my face when not using the face cover! If I need to carry more gear, I just add a shoulder bag which the rank strap keeps in place!

Good run-through! I used to have a set back in the 90's myself, I think I bought a whole set with backpack and helmet cover from US Cavalry for something like $25. But I'm surprised you didn't discuss the origin of the camo pattern: the 3rd Reich. In 1945, Germany was going to issue a universal fatigue uniform designed to be worn over the wools (to replace the Heer's Splinter & the Waffen-SS patterns), in a pattern with colors very close to this... and I'm sure the Swiss saw this later and ran with it. "Leibermuster" is the name of the original German pattern, at least in collector circles.

It had always baffled me how much this camo is misunderstood. People never seem to consider colors at a basic level. Primary colors, contrast, optical mixing, etc... Red is a major component of brown, and orange. Two colors commonly found in woodland areas! Many don't realize ghillie suits made by professional snipers often include stands of red, purple, orange, and yellow material- in addition to the more obvious green and brown. There are many colors in nature of you look closely!

Really neat videos keep it up! Regarding the patterns poor reputation for effectiveness, I understand that the pattern was chosen because Swiss military strategists were convinced that if the soviets were to attack during the cold war, it would take place in the Fall, thus their reason for choosing an autumn pattern, this seems to be the same cold war tactical choice the Belgians made by using a purple/yellow dominant pattern in their jigsaw.

I can imagine that when that uniform gets wet, it must be bloody uncomfortable. Especially when fully loaded. Nothing can be adjusted. Having been in the British Army when we used 58 pattern webbing, there were infinite ways that it could be worn 'wrongly' yet far more comfortably. Bum roll was never clipped to where it was meant to be, but rather above the kidney pouches. People sometimes had two sets of kidney pouches. The ammo pouches I used to clip so they sloped backwards, thus making running and lying down more comfortable. The backpacks used to be left in barracks and we bought our own Bergens. But this Swiss stuff - I can see how you could easily stab yourself with magazines or grenades when lying down. And as for securing stuff so it doesn't rattle......!!!

This has become my favourite camouflage pattern of all time. I have the abundantly-pocketed jacket and two sets of tanker coveralls, all acquired in unissued condition. They are amazing and I will definitely buy more. Sad to see fashion companies marking them up and reselling because the world needs more of affordable, good quality clothes like so often found in old milsurp. I would actually be more embarrassed if someone though I was wearing a "Supreme" or whatever version as opposed to just plain surplus material. The funny drawback of the tank coveralls, despite being otherwise well designed and made, is that they aren't fire retardant.

@@williamfordham8081 you're very welcome! You can also use the pocket "tops/uppers" as shoulder "epaulettes/pauldrons/covers" as they're kinda scallop shaped to drain away rain with a quick stitch. Just sew them onto the existing epaulettes. Apart from Greek Blue tigerstripe, Alpenflage is the camo that if I wear it on the street people (generally women) will ask about it and say its really cool. 👌 Oh, since you were nice enough to reply, as I mentioned in another comment, if you do want to "tone down" Alpenflage for the woods, you can overdye it by stewing it in a strong tea solution and it'll come out with a tan tone over the pattern. (Yeh, I've got a huge camo collection and years of doing this stuff, hope this is useful). 😊 Happy New Year!

@@Buster_Piles Happy new year to you too 🍻🥳 And yeah women are genuinely very interested in the pattern, somthing a few fasion designers must have took note on as some big named designers have refurbed, and altered them, added patches and studs, and then selling them for ridiculous amounts of cash! I have to say that it's a super functional jacket, and I will definitely have a shot altering one as you suggest. I have the bag to go with it which has its oddities too.

@@williamfordham8081 interesting you should mention that. I've seen the later light m83 blouse with a "supreme" patch on it selling for £500! I swear. They claim they make them to the same pattern with the same fabric but it looked identical to me and I'm good with detail. You can buy an unused Swiss surplus one for under £20 on ebay and a Chinese knock off supreme patch for a few quid. Yes, it's tempting. 🤣 French CCE F2 blouses became popular when Rihanna wore one but the worst I've seen was US woodland pattern parkas with some, quite honestly silly, appliques up and down the arms and back being worn by Kanye and they're worth thousands. Somebody with the inclination and a little time in their hands could make a killing. BTW, I hope you do have a look for Greek Blue tigerstripe, the blue is a stunning electric blue in real life, I got a brand new set from a Greek guy with contacts for only £40. I see sellers hoyking up the price for these all the time but they're super. With a fleece underneath it's a proper coat even in winter and birds love it. Camo is always cool, never goes out of fashion really.

That jacket sounds like an absolute nightmare! Everything would be flopping around all the time, you wouldn't be able to take your gear off to have a rest without taking your jacket off, you'd have to wear a jacket at all times even in hot weather, and you have crap hanging off every side of you. What an awful idea.

So I just bought some m83 Pants and I'm wondering if a m70 jacket would look sort of natural, or would you suggest just getting a m83 jacket? Please and thank you.
