The information regarding the infra-red reflective coating seems dubious without verification.

I remember a similar claim about the DPM jackets and trousers when I was first issued them in 1986 and again with the desert gear in 90/91, various NBC suits, soldier90 etc. Even the mention of washing rings bells, though in my day it was washing or worse yet, ironing. Is this urban legend or fact? --Epocalypse2 10:04, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

It is fact, and not in the least bit dubious. Since the army went all-Soldier 95 (or is it 2000 now?) even for barrack wear I think it has advised squaddies to have at least one set of DPM clothing specifically for field use, ie. not to be ironed or stuck in a hot wash. - Cohaagen
