Danish Camouflage for Sale
Danish camouflage has changed over the years to match the needs of its military, from local woodland environments to overseas missions. Starting with the well-known M/84 pattern, Denmark has introduced several variations, each with its own purpose and design.
M84 Woodland
The M84 pattern was introduced in the 1980s and became the standard camouflage for the Danish military for several decades. It uses a three-color fleck design consisting of olive green, light green, and black. It was originally based on the German Flecktarn layout but simplified to suit Danish terrain. It offers excellent concealment in forests and green areas and is known for its clean, minimal look. Although replaced in frontline service, M/84 is still in use by some reserve units and remains a favorite among collectors.
Use in Bosnia under UNPROFOR and Material Notes
Danish troops wore M84 during the UNPROFOR mission in Bosnia starting in the early 1990s. The same durable fabric was used in the field, but following feedback that the uniform was too heavy for long deployments, Denmark introduced a lighter ripstop version of the M84 combat uniform for missions abroad, including the Balkans. This material update made the uniforms easier to wear during active service. Luckily, we have one specific pair of M84 UNPROFOR pants available here for you to buy.
M84 Desert Pattern
In 2000, Danish forces introduced a desert version called T99 for deployment in Africa under UN operations. This three-tone pattern includes tan, brown, and muted green, retaining the original M84 spot design but with colors changed for arid environments. In 2001, the M01 variant followed, featuring refinements like Velcro sleeves and added pockets, and saw use in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both variants appeared regularly on surplus markets, especially T99 and M01 gear used abroad.
M11 Multiterrænsløring
Starting in the 2010s, Denmark began switching to a new pattern known as M11 or Multiterrænsløring. This camouflage is based on the multicam concept and was designed to perform across a wide range of environments, from woodland to urban to desert. It has now fully replaced both woodland and desert M84 in regular service, though older patterns are still seen in some roles and units.
