NZDPM Ripstop Pattern

A. Mosley made this Official Information request to New Zealand Defence Force

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for A. Mosley to read a recent response and update the status.

From: A. Mosley

Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

I would like to the request the designs for the NZDPM Ripstop Pattern, specifically the designs behind the pattern itself and the colouring used. If possible some background on the development of it. Its a unique camouflage pattern which was well known and associated with being 'Kiwi'. Its been over a decade since it was last in used with the NZDF, so I believe that there should be no reason for this request to be denied.

Yours faithfully,

A. Mosley
