This looks like a big year for the A-TACS camo pattern at SHOT Show 2011. Many companies look to be coming out with gear and apparel with the A-TACS pattern.  



I think A-TACS looks great for arid areas and will be excellent for Afghanistan, but how many areas of the USA is A-TACS really going to practical for?



Can anyone link pictures of A-TACS in green wooded areas? Thank you.

as impractical as it may be in certain areas, many will still buy clothing/gear/guns in the pattern im sure.

too many new camos lately...multicam....ATAC...etc.  They dont finish creating a line of gear in one type...or issuing a complete set to a branch...and already they are looking at replacing it with new stuff.

When I first saw ATACS I thought it would be a good camo since it brought in a lot of browns but in the few pieces of gear I've seen made with it there seems to be too light of a color palette being used for my taste. I like the pattern but would prefer coyote brown to be the middle tone.

It depends, some of the pieces I have are light shaded and some are darker, with more greens.











Here is a pic of the pack on a camping trip:



They are supposed to be releasing variations at some point to cover other areas.

It almost looks like it was rattle canned onto the material in someone's damp garage....

A-TACS has other color variations in the works including a woodland and I've heard will be entering the Army's new camo trials.  The reason you're going to be finally seeing a lot more of A-TACS is because the uniform situation finally got figured out.   No uniforms was kind of a major speed bump in getting the ball rolling.  As soon as the Propper deal was announced I noticed an immediate rise in requests for A-TACS.

I have a feeling that I will like the look of the woodland camo version better than the molded, cinder block camo that is currently available...

ATACS supposedly doesnt clump up and look like one color at a long distance. I think it will make good Coyote camo in certain areas

It almost looks like you need glasses when you look at it. Like it's all blurry and out of focus...

I also think that it needs matching A-TACS webbing, straps, etc., to go with it. The coyote color is too contrasty against the blur!

Woodland A-TACS would come in handy around these parts of the Pacific NorthWet, as well...

Just sayin'.

Its already HERE, but at a cost approaching triple that of regular one color webbing.  There is also the printed velcro loop again at a price premium

So do you want to pay more for something that can be rattlecanned
