British desert arid smock combat windproof with wired hood which correct me if I am mistaken was part of the 95 clothing system and was similar to the type as produced in the 1st series in the mid to late 1980's I believe at least two types of patterns are known to exist...

Cadpat Arid as worn by Canadian Field Medic in Afghanistan which includes, cut down boonie/patrol cap and TCCC Arid drop leg medic bag with contents.

CadPat Arid trials tactical vest these are incredibly hard to source as most were destroyed by the Department of Defence once they were pulled from service..



And a Canadian issued CamelBak that shows both the tempered and Arid patterns of CadPat used on the same item..

Very patiently waiting on this Japanese ( JGSDF Type 66 ) helmet from the land of the rising sun it is sporting a rather nice early patterned cover which was 1st adopted in 1965 the design, having black, brown, and medium green woodland shapes on a pale green background, was initially issued to members of the 1st Airborne Brigade and is often associated with that unit.
Some Japanese sources have referred to the design colloquially as "Hokkaido," "Northern," and "Kunai" camouflage, the latter of which may refer to a medieval trowel or hand-tool with a spike on one end. By the early 1980s, the pattern would see use by conventional Japanese ground units.
Within Western collecting circles, the pattern is sometimes referred to as "Fang" pattern. This design became outdated in 1992 with the introduction of the "dots" design.
