New Zealand disruptive pattern material

Dress in this camouflage pattern was worn by all ranks of the New Zealand Army and NZDF for most forms of training and on operations.

From 1994 to 1995 a new variation of colours of the DPM pattern was used, consisting of black, chocolate brown, and olive green shapes on a tan background.

The colours of the 1997 pattern were different again consisting of black, dark brown, and golden-yellow shapes, on a grass green base.

It was still in the 1997 NZDPM colours, but made in ripstop material and in a new cut somewhat similar to the U.S. Army Combat Uniform.

Velcro patches on the arms enable the wearer to display removable identifying badges, such as the New Zealand flag and the round Kiwi bird emblem, as used in overseas deployments.
