The M09 style uniform is the result of an all-service research study evaluating current uniforms in use. It became a part of the 2009 dress regulations, to create a uniform that would in theory be issued to all personnel in the Soviet Army. The uniform was to be comfortable, durable and be suitable as both a work and combat uniform. Due to the extreme climates present in the SRChP, it was to be suitable for mountains, forests, tundras and deserts[with the latter being made of ripstop-like material]
The M09 features the following:
-includes a hood, eliminating collars which were reported to be an annoyance; It is large enough to wear over a helmet if necessary.
-loose fit, will not constrain movement
-elbow, knee and seat reinforcement through the use of a layer of heavy canvas.
-sleeve cuffs replaced with elastic
-provisions for 2 standard lenght magazines on the left leg
-large pockets
-no shoulder boards present to allow a soldier to wear body armor without stress on the shoulders
-fire resistant materials used
