Jigsaw pattern camo - why does Belgium still use this?

With the proliferation of night vision and associated IR lighting, it's also instructive to have a pattern that doesn't "illuminate" you under IR. Green for example can be quite bright in night vision. German flectarn is actually quite good under IR comparatively speaking.

On the note on the use of Jigsaw, Belgium has adopted Multicam.

Press Release, Brussels, 01 April 2022: [auto-translated] The SSC consortium (Sioen, Seyntex, Crye Precision) was chosen to launch the ‘Belgian Defence Clothing System’ (BDCS) for Defence. For the next fifteen years, SSC will equip our soldiers with new operational clothing and accessories for a total budget of 410 million Euros.

Tomorrow’s operational clothing is multi-layered equipment. All the parts of the different layers will be complementary and integrated. Thus, optimal and appropriate protection can be guaranteed for our military men and women. This will also be the introduction of the new MultiCam camouflage pattern.

I love that they just said "screw it" and went with an off-the-shelf option for their new uniform. G4 Crye isn't my favorite (especially the field shirt) but it's still very high quality.
