DZ discontinued all CADPAT gear because they were having difficulty getting fabric, probably was costing them more than it was making. Just in case anyone was still wondering about that, lol. It's a shame, I really wanted those pants.

Blame your chain not our's. We wore OUR rain gear around. not our fault you guy's didn't order any :P

I still got a set issued here in Wainwright but my size is more little child than reg size. You guys are lucky with your cadpat rain gear, I still got my green garbage bag/ tarp poncho. Also, those boots are starting to get issued. I know a couple of people that already got them. Ugly ugly boots if you ask me.

If it makes ya feel any better. Airforce in Winnipeg were told no supply when we go in with torn pants etc.

Omg. Temperate TW! Bout damn time

What? lol

We've been waiting for this. The CF has been in desperate need of Temperate Woodland for decades!!

If you read the article. You'd know.

Cf tw is a heavy weight fabric

Arid is a light weight fabric.
It can hit close to 40 in some areas which are green. So a heavy weight TW uniform blows. Even in the summer anywhere in Canada it way to frigin heavy.

Hopefully you can role your sleeves up on the new shirt. Lil

YAY now when Am I getting mine ... Ah yes let's say about 6-7 Years from the start of the delivery to CF unit hahaha

Not sure if you ever wore the AR? but it is definetly a lighter weight. Part of why it does not last as long.

As for the sleeves. Plenty role sleeves up when not in a field situation. A canforgen came down stating it's up to the individual members to choose. However the AR in KAF went from up to down to up to down depending on the CoC because of the big vecro pockets on the arms, was one reason I has heard.

Lol I'd say Skeletor had a chance to try out AR once or twice ;) And maybe it varies from set to set, as my arids are for the most part the same, two pairs of pants seem actually a bit thicker than my greens.

I got issued a fresh set of the current issue combats about 3 months ago and the fabric felt like they upped the cotton content as they were definitely heavier than my previous set which faded and became see-through in the high wear areas.

All raids I have are definetly a lighter weight.
However this could vary as they switch fabrics weekly it seems. It's hard to find two shirts that are the same in measurement let alone fabric.

Either way. I wish we could wear arid in the summer in canada. But a lighter weight green would be nice as well

It have more fabric on each piece of combats I think

That's what I said.
