CADPAT winter whites

[slayer/raptor]

I saw these on this army news video: http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/land-terre/news-nouvelles/story-reportage-eng.asp?id=5924

Anyone see these in person yet? I'm curious if the winter whites have actually changed in design or if they are the same thing as the old ones with some grey digital patches on them.

The USMC has digital whites;  AFAIK(what I've seen) in the CF we only have the plain whites.

I saw some photos of CADPAT whites a few years ago online.  Haven't seen anything since regarding them.

USMC issue only.

Nothing for us yet

I have seen some of our guys with somthing similar. Just a little grey here and there.

Roger, the reason I ask is because I've seen people issued the ruck sack cover and it had some grey patches, I was just curious if the actual uniform changed at all

ARCG's have some of the new whites at least on the toboggans.....which had grey squares on it just like the winter personal cam blankets...

The USMC has the digital whites;  AFAIK in the CF we only have the plain whites in different shades of white(depending on age/wear),  plus the pink ones because of arctic candles.. and some troops have painted their whites as well.

That 'photo' is one terrible Photoshop job.

We do not have digitized winter whites. Period.

 

[UnwiseCritic]

You can say that all you want, but a few guys from my old platoon had them issued from clothing stores.

Most of our toboggans whites are CADPAT.  Maybe someone from Valc can anwers that ?

Pictures please.

I would like to see this for real.

I don't have a pic as I am on Parental Leave, but I have a CADPAT ruck sack cover on my ruck right now. It looks exactly like the pictures in the above posts. I just assume that all new winter whites will look like that as the old wear out, and new ones are made.

Again, I don't personally have it - but I can confirm I've seen a few floating around 1 VP. Ill see if I can nab a picture while out in Wainwright.

Jim 1 RNBR ARCG has some of these whites, saw them on their toboggans twice now...

 

[slayer/raptor]

Yeah I've seen the ruck covers too, so for those who have seen the actual uniform, are they the same or have they been modified at all?

 

[Smirnoff123]

I have also seen the ruck cover, but nothing else with the pattern.

 

[UnwiseCritic]

Interestingly enough I have not seen the ruck covers, only tops and bottoms.

I was going through some of my kit and checked out the whites I got a few months ago(exchanged my old XXXL ones for a set that actually fits).  The whites are dated May 2008;  I'm guessing they only started making the digital whites in the last couple years?

 

[UnwiseCritic]

Yea, I wasnt even in, in 2008

I wonder why we've decided to 'go green' with these? Plain, clean white was always the best cam.
