Brewstop Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 From memory, in the early 90's the PVC 'crisp packet' waterproof was replaced by an MVP DPM jacket with velcro pockets mounted low down on the front and a jacket with velcro bellows chest pockets. These were superseded by a jacket with a wired hood and large button (arctic windproof style) chest pockets. Followed by the CS95 pattern DPM MVP jacket with no pockets. In addition, there is the POL protective DPM MVP jacket and trousers introduced in the early 2000's. Got any pics of what you are interested in? I'll try and ID it.

wdbikemad Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Very early 90s.........DPM MVP smock and trousers introduced in heavy Goretex.........smock had baggy, big-buttoned chest pockets and large wired hood........rank tab on front..........trousers had reinforced knees and rear, zips up the outside of lower legs and velcro tabs......... Variant smock appeared shortly after this with velcro-fastened top pockets............. Both above replaced by the CS95 pocketless liner jacket and flimsy trousers........... Late 90s/early 00's saw a reversion to the pre-95 pattern but as per the variant version with velcro top pockets....... RAF version early 90s.........smock had lower velcro pockets rather than the buttoned chest pockets but otherwise the same as the Army version...........
