Tropentarn ("tropical camouflage") is the name of a lighter weight polyester-cotton (PolyCo) fabric printed with the German 5-color Flecktarn camouflage pattern used by the Bundeswehr for their military uniforms. Some tags say 20% polyester, some say 15%, and others say 35%.

Wüstentarn ("desert camouflage") is often mistakenly called Tropentarn by non-German speakers, which is instead a 3 color pattern used by the Bundeswehr in arid and desert environments and also printed on Tropentarn fabric.
