So much for only having to keep track of one kind of bdu (at one time I had three woodland styles- fireproof, ripstop, and temperate (my personal fav), choco-chip, and desert 3 colour, which to be fair, was just nuts as we was supposed to have 4 each according to our regimental commander).

Ripstop-lol. They were nice if you needed a uniform to starch and if you wore out in the field and they rip, it would rip along the seem for a lot further than normally would.
It seemed like every time we went to the field in the Summer someone would get chew for wearing temperate ones out the field for wear the heavy uniform when he should have set of the light ripstop to wear.
4 sets of each huh. That amusing since at during Basic Training we were issued 2 sets of temperate and 2 set of ripstop woodland. The only time we seen desert camo which came in choco-chip then was about a week before we deployed overseas...lol
