I FAIL to understand why the reserves parade in Combats - what a waste - bring back workdress...

Why do we parade in combats? Because it's a utilitarian uniform, and it's versatile, don't know about other units, but personally, the only two real options for a uniform would either be combats or coveralls...

Since getting cadpat, I've destroyed 7 pairs of cadpat pants (Most were just completely worn out, though a couple were snagged on a rad truck and torn wide open) and 4 cadpat shirts. While admitedly, I seem to be far harder on uniforms then anyone else, and I also work more often then many reservists, you think work dress is going to stack up substantially better?

The cmbt shirt is $46.85
the pants are $52.90

I paid way more than that, $120 each...

thats for the cmbts not the stealth suit

The stealth suit pants and jacket are in the system (just to correct myself) but aren't a bulk issue.  Pants are $75.00, jacket $90.00

Isn't that why we lost the tan uniform (Summer DEU), the best one ever issued?

Why do we still wear Winter DEU in the summer?    I still have my 1976 issued CF Service Dress Tunic and Trousers.   An all -year uniform.   A lot lighter than the Winter DEUs we wear.

I remember back in 1998/99 when the tan DEUs were abolished that an all-season midweight fabric version of the green DEU was to be introduced.  Nice to see that in 2005 absolutely nothing has been done in this initiative.
