DPM (Disruptive Pattern Material)
The immortal and timeless camouflage of the British Isles, DPM, or Disruptive Pattern Material, spent fifty years in service before phased out by the current camo, MTP or Multi-Terrain Pattern (A combination of multi-cam and DPM). “The Denison Smock” was the first British Kit to see application of this camouflage, hand painted on by Commandos in the ‘40s. Eventually, DPM saw standard adoptions in the ‘60s consisting of a smock, pants, and a detachable hood.
The main iterations of Disruptive pattern Material are a woodland pattern version, desert patterns versions, urban DPM versions, and rarer iterations such as blue and even purple variants.
