Mix and match patterns with the ABU are authorized if certain criteria are met. Reference the COLD-WEATHER OUTERGARMENTS WITH THE AIRMAN BATTLE UNIFORM (ABU) Message (Jan 08). The expected life expectancy of the typical ABU is only 12 months. That doesn’t seem very durable for a uniform that is designed to be used in combat environments.
