Camouflage Information:
The Portuguese Lizard Camouflage (M1964 or m64) was developed in the 1960s for Portugal’s decolonization wars, particularly in Angola, Mozambique, and Guinea-Bissau. Designed for superior concealment in dense jungle and savanna environments, it features vertical dark green and brown stripes on a light green background, optimizing its effectiveness in wooded and tropical terrains. Inspired by the French TAP47 and TAP56 Lizard camouflages, the Portuguese variant was adapted to suit the combat needs of elite units such as paratroopers, commandos, and special forces.
Unlike its French predecessor, which had a more horizontal orientation, the vertical alignment of the Portuguese Lizard pattern was intended to reduce visibility when soldiers were moving upright through jungle foliage. The pattern continues to be used today by the Portuguese Marines (Fuzileiros) and remains one of the longest-serving camouflage designs in military history.

The Portuguese Lizard Camo SS Rash Guard is a close-fitting base layer for no-gi BJJ and high-intensity training. Made from a lightweight, quick-drying knit, it provides a secure, supportive fit that tracks the body through grappling, drilling, and conditioning work. Moisture-wicking properties help manage sweat and reduce cling, so the fabric stays close to the skin without feeling heavy over longer sessions.
The design uses Portuguese Lizard camouflage, a horizontal, brushstroke-style pattern built from slanted bands in greens, browns, and muted earth tones. The layered stripes wrap the torso in irregular waves that break up the body’s outline without relying on high-contrast blocks, echoing classic European lizard and early tiger stripe designs. On a training layer, it reads as a field-driven, utilitarian pattern that works in both gym and outdoor environments. Short sleeves keep the forearms clear for grip and hand fighting, while the fitted cut is intended to minimize drag, reduce fabric shifting, and limit handholds during no-gi grappling. Flat, soft-feeling seams and a smooth interior help reduce friction against the skin.
Built from recycled performance fibers with UPF 50+ protection and certified to OEKO-TEX 100 and GRS standards, this rash guard functions as a reliable technical base layer for no-gi BJJ and other demanding training environments where mobility, coverage, and fabric performance are priorities.
