Balaclava Weight: 85gm
A black, polyproplene hood that can be used as a neck/throat warmer, facemask or as a watch cap.

Battle Dress Uniforms Weight: 1.23kg
The standard field uniform of the Project, the BDU is issued in three different weights of material, depending upon the climate (tropic, temperate, and artic), and in four different camouflage schemes: tiger stripe; desert; mountain/arctic; and a black/green for night or urban conditions. The lightweight shirt and pants are 100 percent cotton, with the heavier weights being 50 percent cotton/50 percent synthetic. BDUs are cut large for easy movement, so that they always look baggy. The pants have reinforced knees and bottom and two roomy side pickets, along with the usual front and back pockets. Adjustable tabs at the waist and drawstring ties at the ankles help ensure a tight fit. The shirt has reinforced elbows and two upper and two lower bellows pockets as well as a pen pocket on each sleeve. A velcro patch for a name plate is placed above the upper left pocket. The Morrow Project patch is on the left shoulder and the Branch patch is on the right shoulder. The BDU is reinforced with resistweave fibers to provide limited protection from shrapnel and small arms fire (up to 9mm in caliber) as well as limited protection against fire.
