While not appearing in the single player campaign, a similar model was seen in use by Third Echelon operatives in a cinematic trailer for Conviction.^[1]
It is one of the three Deniable Ops uniforms in Conviction that does not visually change when adding equipment to it; the others being the two default uniforms.
The Sonar Goggles lenses of this uniform will remain red, regardless of whether Archer or Kestrel use it. This is the only uniform in Conviction to do so.
The 3E Elite looks very similar to (most likely inspired by) Crye Associates Future Force Warrior 2020 suit.
