Elite IDF Forces to Receive State-of-the-Art Uniforms
(Israel Hayom) Lilach Shoval - The Israel Defense Forces has begun issuing soldiers in its special units new, customized uniforms. The new shirts are made of high-performance fabric which moves perspiration away from the body and onto the fabric surface, where it evaporates. The shirts have no buttons, as it was found that once protective vests are worn on regular uniform shirts, buttons may cause injury. The new pants are made from highly durable ripstop fabric, and include fitted knee pad inserts. The IDF will soon outfit its elite soldiers with new helmets which are significantly lighter and stronger.
