Battle Dress

Battle Dress is a military suit worn by special forces operatives, designed for engaging in heavy combat.

History
The Peace Sentinels had outfitted some of their soldiers with reinforced armor for armored vehicle escorts. Big Boss was able to procure a Battle Dress during Operation Peace Walker for use by his Militaires Sans Frontieres when infiltrating the US Missile/Supply Base in Nicaragua. A variation provided a sturdy bullet-proof helmet, increasing protection, that was procured by the Militaires Sans Frontieres during missions outside of Costa Rica from capturing an enemy facility.

Behind the Scenes
The Battle Dress, or rather the variant that included the helmet, will make an appearance in Metal Gear Arcade.
