NZ Army MCU Field Trousers - Value grade
In 2013 the NZDF (New Zealand Defence Force) officially changed from its own native DPM camo to the new 'MCU' (Multi-terrain Camouflage Uniform). An interesting choice that was a variant from the Canadian company Hyperstealth. The cut was entirely modernized compared to the former DPM copying much of the American ACU build. This uniform has since been retired and replaced with NZMTP in 2019. These trousers come in 2 main flavours - Gen II & Gen III. There are other small differences, but the main one is the Gen II's have external knee pad insertion slots where as Gen III is internal. These will be picked at random (knee pads not included). Hook & loop tabs are located on the waist, ankles and back of the knees to allow for a well fitting & contoured uniform. A radical change for the NZ military in form & function as well as a unique camo pattern makes these an incredibly interesting bit of military surplus. Alas, the NZ military has adopted NZMTP following many nations
