The Korean Military Academy “Bacteria” Camo Windshield Sun Shade provides effective interior protection while showcasing a rare, visually striking pattern developed in the 1970s. Unique to the academy and distinct from standard issue ROK military camo, this early experimental print features a black-and-white micro-pattern resembling organic or cellular forms—earning it the nickname “Bacteria” due to its dense, non-repeating structure. The result is a high-contrast, abstract camouflage that feels both archival and modern, with strong visual parallels to early computer-generated camouflage studies.
Constructed with a dual-layer build, the front-facing side is made from 100% nylon printed in the black-and-white Bacteria camouflage, while the reverse side features a reflective aluminized film cushion that helps reduce solar heat and prevent UV-related damage to dashboards, seats, and electronics. The layered construction balances thermal insulation with visual durability, making it a practical solution for both summer use and year-round protection.
The sun shade installs quickly with included suction cups, designed to fit most standard vehicle windshields securely. When not in use, it folds flat for compact storage in glove boxes, seat pockets, or field kits.
Ideal for those with an interest in obscure camouflage history, institutional design, or simply a bold monochrome aesthetic, the Korean Military Academy 1970s Bacteria Camouflage Windshield Sun Shade offers distinctive form and reliable function.

The Bacteria Camouflage, also known as “Microorganism Camouflage,” is a rare South Korean pattern developed by the Korean Military Academy (KMA) in the late 1960s and used through the 1990s. Characterized by high-contrast black, amoeba-like forms scattered across a white background, it was designed for training environments where traditional camouflage was less practical. Intended to disrupt the human silhouette and visually distinguish cadets during drills and exercises, the pattern prioritized institutional identity over environmental blending. Printed on cotton twill and herringbone twill fabrics, with slight variations between class years, this camo was never mass-issued and remains exclusive to the academy. Its experimental design, limited production, and graphic intensity have made it a coveted item in vintage military circles and a notable example of unconventional camouflage theory.
