New Production Pattern 83 Battle Jacket from KommadoStore

KommandoStore has launched another recreation of a Cold War classic, the South African 83 pattern Battle Jacket in DPM.

These are brand new manufacture. What makes this reproduction so interesting is the pattern. The story goes that these were made to be used by Recce troops in a nonstandard pattern for the AO to throw off guerrilla forces. It was camouflage all right, but if a slightly different bent. They didn’t want to just blend into the local flora, but into the local operational environment as well.

FYI, compatible with R4 Vektor (Galil) and STANAG pattern magazines, and partially compatible with Galil and AK 5.45 magazines. Otherwise, accepts square SA water bottles.

If you want to feel like a merc, this is the way to go.

These are made in Vietnam using custom-run mesh, 1000D Cordura, and ITW Nexus hardware.
