If we can't get our guys some khaki kevlar, can't we get them some khaki slipcovers for their woodland camo kevlar? Woodland camo in Afghanistan isn't the right answer.

Thanks for your posts.

Oh, there are other older practical ensembles for activities in such climes, if not exactly sized for use over Kevlar jammies. But even the old Desert Storm issue *chocolate chip* camo pattern *pajama jacket* cover for the flak vests would be an improvement, though some of the neweer protective vests with AK47-proof ceremic *trauma plates* may be oversize for the older covers. But even an oversized light khaki workshirt can be modified to work, and a khaki cotton *cheech* or headcloth as long used by the Foreign Legion can be wrapped as a shawl or serape. And it seems we've finally caught up with the older German ideas about helmet shapes, too....
