The M04 desert camo shirt exists both in the new and older version, and we kept the details regarding that version in the text where appropriate. The older versions are marked as \"retiring version\" in the listing - they have lighter elbow reinforcements made of the sleeve fabric. The new versions have Cordura elbows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFinnish M04 desert camo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern is fantastic in the desert environment, from Arizona to the Middle East and beyond.

Finland's participation in the UN peacekeeping mission at the border of Ethiopia and Eritrea in 2000 made their own desert fatigues the priority. The first prototype camouflage pattern to see use was the K2004, which was deployed in 2003. The first models had a rather thick twill cloth but later models switched to lighter ripstop fabrics and eventually evolved into the official M04 Hot Weather Uniform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the FDF, we at Varusteleka started developing our take on the M05 Clothing System in a different order: we started with woodland and winter models more appropriate for the Finnish climate. Now that we have those aspects covered we've finally developed our own versions for the arid and desert climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor hot climate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn just the M04 desert version, we replaced the Cordura in the elbow reinforcements with the shirt fabric. It isn't of course quite as strong as Cordura, but it breathes way better, which is damn nice in hot climate. In the latest M04 version we reinstated the Cordura elbow reinforcements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMade in Poland\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are nowadays sewn in Poland in the EU.
