pattern to better show their consolidation with NATO
and their changing role amongst the international peace
keeping forces.
The old Slovenian disruptive pattern was dark in
comparison with that now used by other NATO partners,
so the decision was made to go for a lighter “multi
terrain” pattern; as well as being more effective in
different environments it also gave the Slovenian soldiers
and operators the opportunity to “mix and match” with
equipment from other countries. The appeal, however,
goes wider, in that one of the German SF Police units
ranked SloCam as favourite for their new Sniper Suit!
To this end UF Pro have adopted SloCam as the pattern
of choice for their entire Striker Battle Dress System, a
decision which in their own words “offers todays tactical
operator the option to choose a unique camouflage
system for a wide range of operational environments”. If
camouflage is not appropriate for your AO though, they
do offer most garments in plain block colours including
their own, superbly effective “Brown Grey”.
All of which is very interesting but how do UF PRO take
these lofty principles and deliver to the user on the ground?
Quite simply they combine all the elements of comfort,
durability, and performance and deliver them all in one
seamless package.
Starting with their superb flagship Monsoon Smallpac
waterproof shell jacket and trouser they show that
they mean business from the very outset. This is a fully
specified and featured 2.5 and 3 Layer Gore Tex suit that
offers the user full protection from even the worst of the
elements, be it rain, sleet, or snow. This a suit designed
for the professional, but unlike other manufacturers UF
PRO have not loaded the price up to make if off putting
