All the summer load vest/plate carriers have darker shades than the BDUs. I believe that is the case from day one.In the new video from , a soldier is seen wearing a lighter coloured uniform underneath, with a darker plate carrier. This is in line with what I have seen from repro websites such as royaltigergear, and I am wondering as to the reason. It would also be helpful if anyone could clear up the differences between Type-19 and 21, for that might be causing the discrepancy. Is it possible that the plate carriers remain Type-19 while Type-21 BDUs are also being issued?
I am new here.
