  • Eco-friendly, resistant to moisture, and durable, angora-lined special clothing, goretex suits and multi-tiered insulating gloves will allow more recycling. Currently a mere 15 per cent of special clothing sets per season is deemed fit for re-use. With the new clothing, this could go up to at least 40 per cent or more.

    Ergonomics experts at NID will fashion specifically placed pockets and zippers on the new clothing sets, allowing soldiers easy access to their thermal imagers, food packets on long-distance patrols, infantry weapons and ammunition, mountaineering equipment like carabiners, pitons and knives.
