The CadetPAT was an initiative of the Army Cadet League, for NPF purchase by the corps. It never really took off (the material was heavy, like denim, and the faded quickly) and has since been replaced by issued OD green Field Training Uniforms for army cadets and summer camps. The FTU is essentially Gen1 CADPAT style and cut, with the Cadets Canada "swoosh" on the pocket flap of the pants and the lower pocket flap of the jacket, no flag on the shoulder, but same material in good old OD green, exposed buttons, and the rank epaulet on the chest. It has the advantage of being backwards compatible with the old OD greens still in use, colour and material wise, and is distinct from the CADPAT and the MARPAT "CadetPAT". It is a great asset to the Army Cadet program and has been very well recieved. I understand it will also be available to Air Cadets in the future.
