Waterproof Duck Camo Vest

PRODUCT DETAILS

The Frog Skin (Duck Camo) camouflage was born out of necessity. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Pacific Ocean theater became highly contested, reaching New Guinea, a large island off the northern coast of Australia. It was home to many Allied military installations that posed a threat to Axis forces in the area. From early 1942 until the end of the war in 1945, New Guinea was central to operational power in the Pacific.
However, its tropical setting posed a challenge to American, New Guinean, and Australian forces. The solid color of military uniforms at the time was conspicuous against the jungle backdrop, full of contrasting green, brown, and beige tones.
