MARPAT (Marine Pattern)

MARPAT, short form for Marine Pattern, was a camo first conceived as a concept in 2001, and was eventually adopted between 2001 to 2002 as part of the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform program (MCCUU). The camo itself is made up of pixel generated designs, directly inspired and based around Canadian CADPAT (your favorite relish). Theoretically as a result, this allows it to exceed traditional camo fabric patterns by copying textures and jagged boundaries found in the environments it is used in. MARPAT also holds an intimidation factor, as used exclusively by the Marines, as it is intended to strike fear into OPFOR who see it and recognize their adversary by the aforementioned branch. 

Features

• Brim is reinforced and wide, providing superior protection against saharan sun

• Chin strap is adjustable to fit a variety of head shapes and lengths 

• The Eagle Globe and Anchor insignia is sewn on front of the boonie
