Combat Shirt:
The main difference between the Gen 2 (G2) and Gen 3 (G3) combat shirts are the 2 small strips of velcro used on the shoulder pockets of the G3’s as opposed to the large fields on the G2. The G3 also has a small “pen pocket” on the left arm pocket (as worn).

Ranger Green:

Combat Pants:
The G3 combat pants have stretch material at the crotch and kneepad hole covers, whereas the G2 combat pants do not have these features. G3 combat pants also use zippers to secure the back pockets whereas these are flaps on the G2 version. The Platatac TacDax pants copy many Crye G3 features.
