M/84

• History:

The M/84 pattern is based on the T/78 pattern. There are some differences in colour, but this might stem from the fact that the clothing for the T/78 was made in France and the clothing for the M/84 was made in Denmark. The M/84 is based on the Flecktarn camouflage pattern, but has only 3 colours instead of 5 (30.8 % black, 60.3 % olive green and 8.9 % light green).

The first uniforms in this pattern was issued in 1984. Some units used up the stocks of T/78 the next couple of years while other were issued with the M/84 and some still wore the M/68. After the first introduction of the pattern in 1984 a large number of items have been made in this pattern - GoreTex rain protection clothing, the lightweight "Balkanuniform" (made of rip-stop clothing), tanker' suit, quartershelter etc. etc. Even bags for personal hygiene articles have been made in the pattern...

In 1999 a desert version of the pattern was introduced
