>quality
Probably some western Euro country, while US uniforms are still made in the US due to the Berry Amendment it's usually beaners making them. Being NIR compliant is also a concern so it doesn't glow under night vision which I imagine most first world countries have covered. >practicality
Most military uniforms today are streamlined - which is to say, most of them are exactly the same with some variations.
Australia and Norway both have very well equipped infantry, since they both get big money from extractive industries. Not sure of the process of it, but its seems like in garrison Norwegian troops wear regular uniforms (probably NFM), but on deployment they get issued crye uniforms. Hence why there used to be so many Nkamo cryes on ebay.
When war breaks out with China, literally 89% of all of our supply lines are going to disappear overnight. We have so much Made in China shit we use in the military that alone could cripple our readiness.
And then when you factor in all the stuff we get from third-world labor, a whole bunch of that is going to vanish too once the CCP either cuts off our supply lines or bribes them to stop supplying us.
>When war breaks out with China, literally 89% of all of our supply lines are going to disappear overnight.
This assumes war breaks out with China overnight.
That's the neat thing. It won't. The CCP loves to bark like a dog that's about to charge but it won't do anything. Do you know why? Because the moment they do, we cut them off from all of their overseas supply lines. They're far more reliant that we are on foreign goods. The moment they're at war with the US, all bets are off and EVERYBODY dogpiles them. And the CCP knows that. They don't want an uprising in Hong Kong. They don't want an uprising in Tibet. They don't want an uprising in Xinjiang. They don't want to have to defend against ballistic missiles launched from Taiwan at mainland China. They don't want to have to deal with Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, India, Japan or Indonesia jumping in for a chance to settle their territorial disputes while the Chinese are distracted by war with the US and struggling to maintain civil order in the face of starvation and resource shortages.
I think people forget that america has missiles pointed at china at the south china sea and can target their manufacturing capabilities. China doesn't have many friends that can produce their shit and also host ships/troops for them

Have you actually owned the uniforms? From my experience they are pretty high quality. Also multicam blends in way better than ucp did. Comparing American uniforms to Chinese uniforms is like comparing an airsoft gun to the real deal.
>Ridiculously expensive
No, lol. >Massive supply chain shortages
No? The U.S. instead makes a shitton of surplus that will eventually go to Government markets. >Camo ink fades after a single wash
No, i have both MCCUU, ABUs, OCP/UCP. They all didn't fade after washing. >Fabric rips easily
Nope, the fabric are pretty durable, so you're just talking out of your ass. >Zippers break after a few dozen zips
Nah, and some uniforms don't even use zippers. But even then, the buttons and zippers mostly are pretty durable. >Boots are ergonomic nightmares using outdated styles that have caused foot issues among troops to quadruple
The boots are not that bad either. >Pattern doesn't blend into fricking anything
Which pattern? Ucp? I can agree. Multicam/marpat? They are great. >Ink is reactive to certain detergents and will literally glow neon-bright under NVGs or infrared

Active troope are fit and the uniforms are in many sizes. You being obsessed with trannies/homosexuals is not an argument. It doesn't effect the way they do their jobs. Your post shows that you never owne the uniforms and also based most of the shit out of you hatred for trannies or whatever.

Then maybe you should do something about your plump ass, Anon. I've got a normal shaped ass and it's never blown the back of my trousers out no matter how much stress I've placed on it. The only time the ass has torn was when an Afghan kid shot me in the ass with a 9mm. Not a regular occurrence, I promise you.

Not really that exciting. Kid was hiding one of their guns and when he realized we were taking away his big brother tried to be a little Taliban hero. Don't know what happened to him, don't care.

I haven't posted yet and don't have a side in the shitflinging earlier in the thread, but the UCP uniforms were actually better than the OCPs in terms of durability. The fabric held up better, the stitching was better, they were just more robust. The multicam FRACUs I found less durable.

Anon what the frick are you even talking about, I still have the same pair of shit kickers I bought in 2015 that have been through 2 deployments and a dick load of NTC/JRTC rotations. There's minor holes in the rough out suede, because that's what happens when you wear boots for years. I have literally never once fricked a pair of OCPs up beyond regular wear and tear, after being a regular light infantryman in the 101st, 82nd, 173rd, and 10th Mountain, and I bought a set the day they were authorized. The worst that's happened is they tore when I was fricking off with some c-wire or I forgot a pen in the pocket and stained some.

You didn't make it through MEPS, huh?
US uniforms are surprisingly shit, but somehow listed nine reasons and I disagree with eight of them (I can't confirm the IR/NVG one).
I just think they aren't very comfortable, can't breathe (IHWCU fixes both of those for OCP), and have no stretch. Seriously I can't believe they don't stretch. Why would someone design a uniform that's expected to see active combat and not at least throw 1% spandex in there? I know special ops units just buy Crye because they have big budgets but I feel bad for infantry and maintenance and shit.
>Which country has the best uniforms in terms of quality and practicality?
The 1990s German flecktarn gear was peak. Do other nations have good gear? yes for example the British gortex bicy bag, even the much maligned IAB/OTV/IOTV/MTV etc are good gear but the basic uniform, the field blouse, combat pants, gortex shell, parka and liner, gloves and caps (including the cold weather one with ear flaps) the pouches, holsters, cleaning kit, sewing kit etc etc the kip mat, levl 4 plates and good helmet Bristol vest and the quality of it all was outstanding from an era when they ere really expecting to fight a hellish front line war against the USSR. I know all its flaws but I love their flack vest cut as well. Perfect back support. Anyway.
I have some of the US artic warfare kit, the outer trousers with the braces and they are excellent in snow, same with their kevlars, good stufff

It really seems like you're just autistic and conflating regular wear in a high demand field with shit, or outright moronic in the case of zippers.
In 2013 I had one pair of UCP ACUs that had a fricked up cargo pocket. That was the extent that I've seen IRL
They're only high quality if they just sit on coat hanger all day.
The seems bust real easy and they fall apart from simple rubs on trees.
>Ridiculously expensive
No, lol.
>Massive supply chain shortages
No? The U.S. instead makes a shitton of surplus that will eventually go to Government markets.
>Camo ink fades after a single wash
No, i have both MCCUU, ABUs, OCP/UCP. They all didn't fade after washing.
>Fabric rips easily
Nope, the fabric are pretty durable, so you're just talking out of your ass.
>Zippers break after a few dozen zips
Nah, and some uniforms don't even use zippers. But even then, the buttons and zippers mostly are pretty durable.
>Boots are ergonomic nightmares using outdated styles that have caused foot issues among troops to quadruple
The boots are not that bad either.
>Pattern doesn't blend into fricking anything
Which pattern? Ucp? I can agree. Multicam/marpat? They are great.
>Ink is reactive to certain detergents and will literally glow neon-bright under NVGs or infrared
Not really, i washed my shit and its still doesn't glow lmao.
>The people wearing them are out-of-shape, emotionally sensitive homosexuals who identify as 12 different genders, think manual labor is a form of discrimination, and think our enemies are misunderstood innocent victims.
Active troope are fit and the uniforms are in many sizes. You being obsessed with trannies/homosexuals is not an argument. It doesn't effect the way they do their jobs. Your post shows that you never owne the uniforms and also based most of the shit out of you hatred for trannies or whatever.
Boots are shit too. They'll pop seams if you pull them off your feet too hard to kick a parking break in the wrong way. Having to kneel down on concrete every day will rub the fabric thin around the steel inserts and then they become unserviceable in the eyes of leadership and QA

You didn't make it through MEPS, huh?
US uniforms are surprisingly shit, but somehow listed nine reasons and I disagree with eight of them (I can't confirm the IR/NVG one).
I just think they aren't very comfortable, can't breathe (IHWCU fixes both of those for OCP), and have no stretch. Seriously I can't believe they don't stretch. Why would someone design a uniform that's expected to see active combat and not at least throw 1% spandex in there? I know special ops units just buy Crye because they have big budgets but I feel bad for infantry and maintenance and shit.
I semi-ironically liked ABUs btw.
my god
>Which country has the best uniforms in terms of quality and practicality?
The 1990s German flecktarn gear was peak. Do other nations have good gear? yes for example the British gortex bicy bag, even the much maligned IAB/OTV/IOTV/MTV etc are good gear but the basic uniform, the field blouse, combat pants, gortex shell, parka and liner, gloves and caps (including the cold weather one with ear flaps) the pouches, holsters, cleaning kit, sewing kit etc etc the kip mat, levl 4 plates and good helmet Bristol vest and the quality of it all was outstanding from an era when they ere really expecting to fight a hellish front line war against the USSR. I know all its flaws but I love their flack vest cut as well. Perfect back support. Anyway.
I have some of the US artic warfare kit, the outer trousers with the braces and they are excellent in snow, same with their kevlars, good stufff
This. American uniforms are the worst in the world. I hope we buy Indian uniforms.
>I hope we buy Indian uniforms.
The poo. It goes. In the Loo.
Black person, you said the same thing about ARs in another thread. Take your chink shilling elsewhere because you're just talking out of your ass.

UFPro comes from Slovenia so I guess western Euro countries
If you ever had UFPro or Lindnerhof pants you know they’re the best.
IDF uniform is completely unrivalled for the past half a century and counting
How good are they in terms of quality?
>green
A green "boot" is still more equipped and capable in combat than someone with zero firearms training or combat experience.
I like croatia's specifically because they have little croatias as part of the pattern and I find that adorable
