I was "lucky" enough to be issued Desert DPM for a hot climate just recently and was amazed to find that it is heavier than CS95 Green Stuff. After 1 exercise we all reverted back to CS95 as even though we sweated just as profusely the material dried out a lot more quickly. Desert DPM is a nice colour but as us Rocks say "You can RAM it!"
As for boots, well there is nowhere near the correct anount of time to acclimatise so feet will leak loads anyway no matter what you wear. As soon as you can get them off do so, dry tootsies, then lob on clouds of powder.
Our bunch are soooooo looking forward to having a scrap in kit designed for NW Europe.
Guess that puts us all firlmy in the same canoe disappearing up that well known sidewater!!
