History
Sweden adopted M90 in 1990 after trials showed hard-edged geometry performed well in Nordic forest, replacing the plain grey-green m/59 uniform. The design deliberately revives mid-century splinter geometry in a modern four-color scheme. Desert and winter variants followed for international operations.
In the field
Excellent in Nordic conifer and birch forest; the razor-straight edges make it unmistakable in photos.
