Swedish female soldiers complain their bras fall off and catch fire too easily.

From the Matcom News swedish beaureax:

The Swedish Conscription Council, a rights group representing the country's 500-odd women soldiers, said the poor quality of the standard-issue sports bras was unacceptable.

"Our opinion is that the Swedish Armed Forces should have ordered good, flame-proof underwear," Paulina Rehbinder, a union spokeswoman, told The Local, Sweden's English-language newspaper.

The bras unhook too easily during strenuous exercise, soldiers said, forcing women to interrupt their activities to remove their equipment in order to re-fasten the brassieres.

The bras are also highly flammable, according to a report in the Göteborgs-Posten newspaper.

Which isn't making me think of Carry On Camping, not at all your honour.
