Finnish M04 desert camo
This pattern is fantastic in the desert environment, from Arizona to the Middle East and beyond. Also quite awesome on shooting ranges, too.
History
When Finland participated in the UN peacekeeping mission at the border of Ethiopia and Eritrea that began in 2000, the Finnish Defence Forces developed a need for their own desert fatigues. The first prototype camouflage pattern to see use was the K2004, which was deployed in 2003. The first models had a rather thick twill cloth, but later models switched to lighter ripstop fabrics and eventually evolved into the official M04 Hot Weather Uniform.
Unlike the FDF, we at Varusteleka started developing our take on the M05 Clothing System in a different order: we started with woodland and winter models more appropriate for the Finnish climate. Now that we have those aspects covered, we've finally developed our own versions for the arid and desert climates.
Materials and details
This isn't just a new color option. We also switched to an even lighter, more breathable, and more durable fabric than the old one. Also dries faster.
This new fabric is also a 50/50 cotton/polyester blend but it weighs 200g/m2 / 5.8 oz/yd2, so it is 10g/m2 / 0.3 oz/yd2 lighter than the old one. Even though it is lighter, this BOND fabric has a tensile strength of 1000N across the warp, which is 18% better than in the old fabric (850N). Across the fill, it is 700N, which is a whopping 100% better than the old one (350N). The fabric also has an excellent color fastness. (On the scale of 1-5, color fastness to washing is 4 and color fastness to perspiration 4.)
Adjustable size
These come in three sizes, M for small to medium heads, L for larger ones, and XL for massive melons. These are designed to be generously over-sized so that you can fit a warm wool cap or similar underneath the Boonie hat in cold weather. The drawcord around the crown is used to adjust the hat for a custom fit.
Made in the EU
These are sewn in Latvia by Sia GPT.

Lieriin integroitu hyttysverkko voisi olla menestys, erityisesti räkän aikaan (Rothco 5583 booniessa sellainen on).
