Press Release, Exeter, 11 August 2026: At Arktis Endurance Textiles, camouflage development is part of the wider capability we offer military organisations, government agencies and defence brands. The COMB family demonstrates this approach.

Rather than creating a single ‘do everything’ pattern, COMB was developed as an environmental system. COMB Arid addresses grassland, semi-arid, and rocky terrain, while COMB Blizzard focuses on alpine and winter operations. Additional variants like COMB Urban, or the separate French Desert Noir, and Tundra developments further showcase Arktis pattern development capabilities.

  • Camouflage and colourway development
  • Pattern scaling and repeat optimisation
  • Garment integration across complete clothing systems
  • Manufacturing across combat apparel, insulation, waterproofs and load carriage
  • Low-volume specialist development through to large-scale manufacture

For organisations looking to develop proprietary camouflage or launch exclusive product lines, these capabilities form part of Arktis’ wider OEM and manufacturing services. With more than 40 years of experience designing and manufacturing tactical clothing for military and law enforcement customers worldwide, Arktis supports partners from initial concept through to production-ready solutions.
