Check this out:
Kryptek Army times said it outperformed multicam by 27% in tests. Discuss.... |

27%? I'm not sure how you would even quantitatively score camouflage, let alone come up with a number like 27%
Not knocking the pattern, I could put the first two to use in my area, but I'm not sure it would be worth spending any money to switch over when the stuff I have is already effective. |

I see a lot of talk right now, but mark my words, you'll all be clamoring for mandrake pouches and plate carriers about 2 minutes after the .mil adopts it. Multicam was derided as "airsoft poser cartoon camouflage" before some pics popped up of SF wearing it. Just saying. |

Everyone is saying how can you even compare 6 different patterns to 1? The mandrake one looks better then MARPAT but multicam is still an "all around" camo. |

I thought that the new OCP or Multicam or whatever the hell they call it was supposed to be the "be-all-end-all" replacement for the ACU?
Now suddenly we need yet ANOTHER new camo pattern? And the Army Tabloid Times is saying that we will probably be getting a woodland and a desert pattern...which is what we started out with in the first place! |

not again....... I assume you don't follow Soldier Systems Daily. There's a new camo pattern debut every morning. I'm done with camo. My nylon gear will continue to be a mishmash of OD, FG, Coyote, Tan, etc... My civilian "uniforms" will continue to be OD Wrangler Riggs, and whatever black or tan wicking shirt or whatever combat shirt I happen to have. The_Evil_One, didn't you just get out of Basic/AIT or something? One thing you need to learn about the Army... Army Times is the Army's National Enquirer. |

| I dont own any camo, I am so far behind on the times. I used to wear ACU's but gave them back when discharged. I am in noth western IL and I have coyote stuff, but no PC, big belt ir even a chest rig. I need some gear. I like the color Ranger Green, but everything is so expensive. I guess I need to start HUH? |

At least grab some level III steel plates a decent carrier to start. When you can get into for less than $400, what are you waiting for? Multicam or ATACS... http://www.tacticalassaultgearstore.com/bansheerifleplatecarrier.aspx http://bulletproofme.com/RP-Steel.html |

You said you lliked ranger green so I thought you were old school.  I actually have the TAG Rampage plate carrier in XL with the 11 x 14 SAPI plates. I have ATACS pouches on it trying to keep up with times.

| Nah, I just havent seen any patterns or colors that I like. I like ranger green because I dont see alot of it. I live in IL so highlander or nomad out of those will work for me. I am no fancy guy I just bought danners combat hikers and a pair of danner 453 hikers and I usually dont like military style uniforms, I wore them enough. |

Multicam was derided as "airsoft poser cartoon camouflage" before some pics popped up of SF wearing it. Just saying. To a point. Like those of us with 6.8 SPC rifles who saw a future with them. If the .mil adopted it more whole-heartedly it would a much better deal. I would expect to see some reasonably price MCAM by now along with some USGI 6.8 ammo, but no. Multicam works great in my area, at all times of the year depending on how you wear it. It's not particularly affordable but the cost/benefit seems to be the best thing going anyway. |

What'n it though.......These fucking people are so into bullshit style and being trendy that their just highly pissed and nervous that all those crye pants they wasted huge dollars on might go to waste. By summers end this will probably be all the rage with the trend idiots and couch operators and likely all that's being discussed here............ |

MultiCam is great for Afghanistan, but probably not good for South East Asia or South American, and African Jungles. You can probably find a better desert/urban option for more open areas as well. They didn't roll out MultiCam in Iraq for example. Sigh. Yes, MultiCam was in Iraq before the end. This shit's getting more ridiculous than the Navy. When I mustered out of Coastal Warfare, I had 7 different types of complete uniforms. In the Army I'm up to 4 different types, and I've not been to Afghanistan yet. The ACU was intended to replace two colors of BDUs. If it's a failure, why not return to the two colors of BDUs? Or just adopt the Marine's two combat uniforms? It's not like we're hiding from anybody - we have giant "FOB"s we sortie out of in giant armored vehicles. If we were hiding out in the woods camping in tents camouflage would be a concern. Not that forward deployed troops or aerial reconnaissance managed to spot 200,000 field grey uniformed Germans on their front before the Battle of the Bulge... Gig 'em, backbencher |

I really don't get the fascination of trying to find a universal camo, unless it really is about money. |

Were talking about the same people that chose UCP or Multicam the first time around. Despite a big uproar of the shitty pattern and uniform design, they still pushed it through. It literally took an act of Congress for them to start fixing shit. But in the end the Officer that pushed for UCP is sitting comfortably in his 6-7 figure job. The next one is awaiting his same opportunity.
On a more positive note, the pattern is pretty unique and different but I'd like to see more. Definitely reminds me of the rattle can and netting job that people do to their weapons and helmets. |
