The Mitchell Camouflage Windshield Sun Shade combines practical sun protection with a historically significant camouflage pattern first introduced by the U.S. military in the mid-20th century. Also known as the “leaf pattern,” Mitchell camo features layered, organic shapes in earth tones, designed originally for reversible helmet covers and field gear. In this application, the pattern brings a vintage military aesthetic to your vehicle while serving a functional role in preserving interior components from sun exposure.
Built with a dual-sided construction, the front-facing nylon surface displays the Mitchell camouflage print, while the back side utilizes an aluminized film cushion designed to reflect sunlight and reduce heat accumulation inside the vehicle. This combination helps shield dashboards, seats, and other surfaces from UV damage, fading, and cracking over time.
The shade installs quickly using included suction cups, offering a stable hold on the windshield without adhesives or modifications. When not in use, it folds flat for easy storage in the trunk or seat pocket, making it a practical addition for daily driving, road trips, or parked vehicles exposed to high heat. Whether you’re a military history enthusiast or simply seeking a sunshade with a functional yet retro-inspired design, the Mitchell Camouflage Windshield Sun Shade provides a balanced mix of visual interest and interior protection.

During WWII, the Marine Corps officially experimented with the M-42 Frog Skin battledress camouflage, while other U.S. troops, especially airborne pathfinders in Normandy, used hand-painted splotches, stripes, and foliage for camouflage. After the war, the US Military sought to develop a broader camouflage pattern. Between 1948 and 1953, field tests led to a trial in Panama of eight designs. Two complementary patterns emerged as effective: the green-hued Wine Leaf for spring and summer, and the brown Mitchell pattern for fall and winter, named after artist and former Marine Meldon Mitchell. This combination was implemented in the two-sided Pattern-53, with Mitchell becoming synonymous with both sides.
