It is very much the fashion these days to wear camouflage that’s all “matchy-matchy” – in other words, for everything from your boots to your hat and your gloves to your belt and everything in between to be in the same, perfectly matched camouflage pattern.

Incidentally, the camo oversuit they’re using here was developed by Hyde Definition, and is currently being produced under license by Applied Orange Performance Equipment.

In a photo series released today, Drop Zone Tactical showcased their Stubby Boonie Hat, Recce Smock, Gen.III Ops Pants and the newly revised Ops Shirt in PenCott-BadLands™ camouflage pattern (US mil-spec 50/50 NyCo ripstop fabric).  BadLands™ will also now be added to the Drop Zone Tactical portfolio as a color option for all products going forward.

The photos also show the effectiveness of the pattern in “transitional” woodland terrain.

The Tyrannus Over Suit is just that. A great winter camo over smock and pant set.
