Overview[]
The Partizan Suit is a relatively thin, lightweight Summer over suit designed to provide the user with a way to camouflage themselves via the use of a camouflage pattern and baggy silhouette, similar in principle to the older Soviet KLMK and KML uniforms. The Partizan Suit features a completely reversible design allowing the wearer to turn it inside out in order to adapt to different environments, a bright printed pattern on one side, and a duller pattern on the reverse created by the camouflage printing process. It features through-pockets to access the pockets of clothing worn beneath the suit as well as foliage loops for adding additional camouflage. Each Partizan Suit includes Shirt, Pants, a mesh face cover, and a storage bag. It has been produced in a variety of camouflage patterns including SS Leto, Spectre, A-Tacs FG/Mox, Multicam and Berezka.
