These are simple pre-cut artificial leaves for enhancing camo properties of your cape, hood, boonie hat etc. Camo pattern is Phantomleaf Wasp II Z2 semi-arid/transitional pattern, but I consider it more as “fall/autumn” pattern since I find it darker than e.g. Multicam.

These are simple camo covers for your regular gloves. Material is 100% polyester mesh and they are quite handy for intended purpose for urban OP-/sniper post. Especially when observer is holding black binoculars. I’m really impressed about Phantomleaf Wasp II Z4-urban camo pattern – it is much more general camo pattern one would imagine.

Ok, I thought that I had enough camouflage uniforms, but I bought Phantomleaf’s new WASP.II.Z4 anyway… The camo smock in photos is made by Leo Köhler.
Here is just a first view in very marginal urban environment. I actually expect to use WASP.II.Z4 more in late fall, when there is just some snow on ground.
So, for me it is apparent that Phantomleaf has a pretty good solution for urban camouflage and pattern is highly likely great for mountainous and rocky terrain too.
Phantomleaf
This is an Israeli sniper rifle cover. It is reversible with desert and woodland colors. There is some sort of plastic insulator between two camouflage mesh fabrics. Apparently it reduces heat signature.
This is a Swedish coastal camo net from 1980s. It is reversible, one side has traditional woodland colors (two greens and black), but other side is grey-dominant and meant for hiding boats, troops and equipment on rocky coastline. The grey side has three shades of grey.
This is a British issued reversible desert camo net. Single color on each side: plain light sand color and very pale brown color.
I visited my local Nordic desert simulator with Canadian issued arid CADPAT individual camouflage screen:
This is old Serbian/Yugoslavian camouflage net. Its colours are highly contrasting “fall colours” It is the stinkiest camouflage net I’ve ever met and it can be sensed by nose several meters away even outdoors.
The colours are nice for fall and the cut of the netting gives highly irregular appearance.

The other side is plain green.

Next to Finnish 25K camouflage net in greener background.
This is Finnish camouflage netting “Naamioverkko 25K” from 1988. Three colors – two greens and one brown and the same pattern on both sides.
These nets were released to surplus sales, since they are only suitable against visual “Mark One Eyeball”-sensors on modern battlefield. Fibrotex from Israel delivered multispectral camouflage systems for Finnish Defence Forces.
Information on tag: year of manufacture, serial number and manufacturer. Made in Finland.
