These days mostly solid earthy colors and a reversible smock, dark browns tans greens, repro german blurred edge smock fall/early spring. I'm liking smocks and 3d over-garments these days, simple setup that's fast to throw on or off and comfortable vs. getting all matching layers or just a bunch of camo layers period. Flecktarn and Coyote brown is another combo I like, Multicam and Coyote for Summer. I would like to get an ATACS FG pattern smock with a hood, no plans to buy anything else until I can find that, someone told me FG will be going back into production this year or upcoming year so hopefully someone gets the fabric and does a smock.

Quote HistoryQuoted: MC, ERDL, Finn M05, Swede M90, and most of the Russian stuff. Russian Oak Leaf:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCsOckEQk-UThe Russians have some great patterns and a lot of them are better suited to my area than US patterns, seems like most of them never saw widespread issue/use. Regert not buying some of the different suits when they were available, I have a Bars Gorka suit, rarely wear it as a suit but use the top and bottom a lot on their own. Some decent thought went into the designs of the various suits, seasonal features/foliage attachment/reversible/tick traps, there's quite a few things we should out right steal for hunting and mil garments here. |

Curious about the smock concept. Got any links for your favorites? |

The commercial "Duck Hunter" camo from back in the day.
Nice to see it making a comeback. Though I've yet to see it used on something I can both use and afford. I also have a soft spot for Natural Camo. (The one with the chameleon logo) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Curious about the smock concept. Got any links for your favorites? These are the two that I have, also have a Gorka but its not really a smock like these. Blurred edge: https://www.atthefront.com/M42-Blurred-Edge-Smock-p/gusm42be.htm (has foliage loops) Partizan Summer: https://russiancoldcamo.com/collections/suits-1/products/sso-suit-partizan-ss-summer (US based seller but out of stock and probably will be for some time but they are out there on ebay and elsewhere from time to time, I don't trust ordering anything from Russia now personally.) Few others I haven't tried but considered: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007X2BULQ?tag=arfcom00-20 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H3S3FS8?tag=arfcom00-20 The one from At The Front is great quality and they have some different variants, sizing was perfect. With the Euro repro's or Russian stuff I suggest finding your EU size and maybe going up a size, definitely to accommodate cold weather layers or just give it a baggy look. There isn't a lot of options for smocks in modern patterns unfortunately but I'd really love to see some more. It's Just a convenient garment that you can throw over whatever and head out into the woods, easy on off, works well with camo pants or solid colors, can add some vegetation if it has loops. My only complaint is they get a little heavy if they get soaked but if I know it's gonna be wet I wear a rain jacket underneath. In a small gym duffel I keep the smock a pair of mossy oak bottomlands gloves a boonie hat and some hand warmers, makes it easy. There's also some 3d poncho's out there I'd like to try but haven't yet: https://www.ghost-hood.com/show_all/ghost-hoodie_en.aspx https://www.ghost-hood.com/show_all/camouflage/compact-poncho_en.aspx |

Here in PA, Multicam for spring/fall/summer.
Summer, Multicam Tropic works remarkable well, too. Winter, I've not found a favorite-must-have. Without snow, though, MC is probably still the winner. ETA: The alpenflage posted above looks really effective too. Damn! ETA III: Spelling! |

I prefer Tiger Stripe.. # 1 and # 2 BDU Woodland. # 3 OD Green. Go Bucs.. and as I occasionally chug a cold refreshment, I might check in to see the Arfcom results. Have a great day and....

I like all the different Tiger Stripes and Multicams. I actually like all different camo, reminds me of being a kid I guess and playing Army in the woods wearing my dad’s BDU coats. I’ve got all types of different camo clothing and usually just grab whatever is closest when wearing it out at the farm.
For a SWAT uniform, we wear OD green and it is very effective in any of the woods around here |

I don't have anything in FG yet, I waited too long and by the time I thought about getting something it was discontinued.

I'd consider myself a pretty advanced military camo pattern/uniform collector and own some of the rarest examples out there.
From a personal perspective of what I find to be the coolest, contemporary camouflage patterns, these would be amongst my top 10: US M1948 ERDL Lowlands Pattern(Vietnam Era):  Shout outs to Scandinavia: Norwegian Nkamo M04 Uniform:  Swedish M90 Splinter Camo:  Finnish M05 Camo:  Eastern Europe: Albanian Flectarn:  Czech VZ.95(based off US M1948 ERDL):  Australian AMCU(Australian Multicam Pattern), kind of a brown dominant Multicam:  Canadian CADPAT Woodland:  For practical CONUS usage: Plain old Multicam, M81 Woodland, OD Green and Coyote Brown will all work just fine. |
