-* This pixelated design MP10 (''Maanpuolustusyhtiö 2010'' or "National Defence Group 2010") was commissioned by the Reserve Officers' Association and is used on outer shell garments sold via their downtown Helsinki boutique, Intti Store. Although they are mainly used by active reservists and by instructors at the National Defense School (''Maanpuolustuskoulu'' a.k.a. MPK), MP10 garments are also popular  with airsoft and mil-sim hobbyists.

-* Fourth in the series of current camouflage designs is the ''M05 Lumikuvio'' or snow pattern. Consisting of dark green variegated blotches on a white background, the uniform is in fact an oversuit (smock, trousers & helmet cover) designed to be worn over the standard combat clothing. All four camouflage patterns have been licensed by the Finnish Defence Forces and are not available for released to the public.

All four camouflage patterns were originally licensed by the Finnish Defence Forces and not available for release to the public; in 2016 the license expired and was not chosen to be renewed. Commercially available versions of the pattern are now available to the public, but military issue clothing continues to be controlled by the Ministry of Defence.

-* Beginning in 2003-2004, the Finnish MOD tested and ultimately adopted a new combat uniform design and a new series of camouflage patterns for the armed forces. The prototype design for this new series of camouflage was labeled K2004 and was produced in desert coloration, since at the time the Finnish armed forces did not have a desert camouflage uniform to issue personnel deployed to arid regions of the world. The desert camouflage uniform was ultimately issued as the '' M04 Hellepuku'' (Hot Weather Uniform M2004), and was the first of the new designs issued to Finnish military personnel. The pattern itself (''hellekuvio'' or "heatwave pattern") consists of dark green & light brown variegated blotches on a sandy base.

The desert camouflage uniform was ultimately issued as the '' M04 Hellepuku'' (Hot Weather Uniform M2004), and was the first of the new designs issued to Finnish military personnel. Two basic variations are issued, one on heavier twill fabric and another on ripstop fabric. Both patterns were issued concurrently. The pattern itself (''hellekuvio'' or "heatwave pattern") consists of dark green & light brown variegated blotches on a sandy base, with some variation in color based on the type of fabric and the manufacturer.
