This is an interesting piece. Basically it was just cutted both sleeves from standard DPCU shirt and sew on a undershirt. And that's how simple of SOTG solve the problem and make their own best gear ...

This is a early trial of C.U.T.S by Platatac in 2009-2010 , my mate from RTF used this in 2010 in Afghanistan. According my mate said he love this more than the standard one because of no front zipper, it's more comfortable on upper chest when he wear the plate carrier which is make more sense.

DPCU Streamlined Sniper Pants
Don't know much about this pants, First seen of this pants was in 2002 wear by a SF Operator. Feel like same fabric with Land125 pants but maybe slightly thicker, Zipper with no flip and no back pocket.
PLATATAC Early Trial DPCU CUTS
Early trial DPCU cool underarmor tactical shirt. Fabric is quite hard and the biggest problem of the shirt is the back side of the auscam is white. Which means the camo was printed on the white fabric. So when you roll up the sleeves you will see a shinny pure white backside of it. Most of soldiers don't wear the early trial one.
PLATATAC DPCU "Harry Parka" Winstopper
This Windstopper probably is the best design i have ever seen ! Great pocket design, very detail and user friendly. It is nearly prefect but it also have some problem on material, please read below...
What you have seen is after I wear it everyday within 3 weeks when i was backpacking in Tibet and Nepal and machine washed just once. The coloring of the fabric is not durable and it will be wrinkle easily and serious after machine wash. Compare to the Issued windstopper made by Babylon on 2006, my one is still look new, defiantly Babylon is far much more better than this on material part.
