"Type 03 Woodland Camouflage Uniform", the camouflage pattern is similar to that of the U.S. Army's M81, which has a hemmed top, vertical zippered concealed pockets on the chest, a small pocket on the upper right sleeve, and side pockets on the pants; the camouflage is more effective in preventing visual reconnaissance, and it was subsequently issued to all PLA Special Forces. The downside is that the color fades badly after many washes.
