The Swiss TAZ 90 CAMO is the standard-issue camouflage pattern of the Swiss Armed Forces, introduced in 1990 as a replacement for the TAZ 83 Alpenflage. Officially known as "Tarnanzug 90" ("Camouflage Suit 90"), this pattern simplified the complex multi-color design of its predecessor while maintaining effective concealment in woodland and alpine environments. TAZ 90 features a four-color scheme of green, brown, black, and red-brown, optimized for Switzerland’s forests, mountains, and mixed terrain. Unlike TAZ 83, which was bulky and expensive, TAZ 90 was designed for ease of production and practicality, making it more suitable for modern combat uniforms. While Switzerland is the only country to officially wear TAZ 90, its influence can be seen in other European camouflage patterns. The Swiss TAZ 90 CAMO available through CAMO HQ is inspired by this modern Swiss military pattern, preserving its tactical effectiveness while adapting it for commercial and non-military applications.
