British Army DPM Temperate Combat Trousers
DPM for your average backyard weather!
Ahhh, DPM, or Disruptive Pattern Material, the most classic camo pattern you’ll ever see (after woodland). Whether it’s your less than friendly neighborhood boomer, or your down the block IRA Larper, you’ve definitely seen the camouflage around. With a camo that earned its age old service history, these versions of the pants boast a fifty year legacy in use with the British Military. The British Military, and Misty Mountain Surplus have many versions of kit in DPM and DDPM available, for many environments, and by far, this is the best all around choice, intended for “temperate” or moderate climates. On top of that, the final benefit to that, this ain’t just a cool classic piece of kit, this works for those who wanna be “fast,” aka Low Speed High Drag instagram operators, as these pants are the gucci’est pair of authentic service pants in DPM. Get gucci’ied up today, grab a pair of these, and maybe a top to match, go DPM your drip!
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.

Field Notes/Misty Supply Musings/Potential Uses/Trivia
These are one of the final generations of DPM pants before their ultimate discontinuation. In other words, these are the most modern woodland pants aesthetically, to pair with modern plate carriers and helmets.
