You'll be reading more about them soon. In the meantime, check this out. Here's what Arc'teryx has to say about it. “Combat uniforms are the ground level of comfort and safety. Over the years, Arc’teryx LEAF has tried to define the very best possible combination of design, materials and craftsmanship that would result in a free moving, technically advanced combat uniform that could meet our standards of performance. Persistence is the essence of our design process. We do not accept anything less than perfection. If this means relentless refinements, or a complete shift in thinking, we will pursue that evolution until we have met our goal. For the combat uniform, we took the best of our knowledge, plus input from our extensive network of information and field intelligence and then started from scratch. Fit is the keystone of Arc’teryx design. We understand the body in motion. We know that the most efficient management of moisture and temperature requires systems of layers working together, so we build that ergonomic capacity into our clothing to retain a full range of unrestricted motion. Function is defined by understanding exactly what needs to be achieved – pockets that are patterned to lie flat, contain contents comfortably and not interfere with each other or other equipment. The flow of use is integrated, without overlaps. These are the details we seek to perfect. Reliability means confidence. Emphasizing movement and function, the new LEAF combat uniforms focus on safety through continuously reliable performance – no compromise on mobility, no failure in construction.” You can learn more about Arc'teryx online right here; the LEAF (Law Enforcement Armed Forces) can be found here or on Facebook right here.
