Natick has done extensive research and adopted the Birthday Suit as the official Army Combat Uniform pattern for Afghanistan. It tested much higher than the traditional ACU pattern.

Flame retardant has chemicals to keep the uniform from burning as fast

Don't know, I'm Old School from the 70s, but I do know since I was in the Infantry, if you're behind something, it doesn't matter what camo you're wearing, Keep your big head down and dig in soldier. Salute!
