What is the regulation for wearing the Fleece with OCP?

Anyone know if this has been addressed? Will there be a new coyote brown one coming out? Will the foliage green color be part of the mixed uniform?

I was issued the coyote one to go with the OCP. I haven't seen anything official but our unit won't let you mix even a combat patch in the ACU base colors...

I know I have seen a coyote one in existence however I have never seen anything on whether y'all are authorized to wear it. Granted I saw it online before you were allowed to wear OCP too though so it may have changed. I would assume that they will authorize it at some point. The Gen III Level 7 cold weather gear will probably be changed as well. Maybe that means I could get my hand on some surplus of the gray/green level 7 stuff for decent prices. My luck the AF will finally decide to change to OCP the moment I do buy some though.

In reading DAPAM670-1 it was updated in JUL15 to reflect the wear out dates for the OCP integration. However, it is flawed in it does not state a polar fleece color. It also still states, technically, that the fleece cap color is foliage green or black. I would imagine it will be coyote brown for both items since the coyote brown is what has been posted for gloves, belt, t-shirt, etc.

Interested to know the doctrinal answer though

It is authorized to mix the camo patterns in regards to winter wear. See the link below:

I think I read somewhere that you can mix and match, but it does not mean you should. The green fleece over the OCP is hideous. I have seen people with the coyote version and it looks really good. I would buy it and wear it with civvies like the old black one. The other option is that you can wear the green fleece under your OCP top. It fits neatly under it.

Did I hear that the black fleece is coming back?

Does anyone have a link for a good coyote fleece jacket? MCAS is still not carrying them...

Soldiers can mix camo patterns for cold-weather gear

As winter weather approaches and temperatures drop, Soldiers turn to their cold-weather gear to keep warm outdoors while conducting training or operations.
