Don't get me wrong, Parkland's Canada Cadpat isn't bad, it's just that it's off colour from the issue and Frontenac stuff, and it's white on the inside, meaning the colours & pattern are printed on one side of the fabric (hence the fading faster), whereas the issue & Frontenac stuff is almost the same outside as in (inside is same pattern just fuzzy).
Wear your Parkland's Cadpat with pride, and when it wears out, go for Frontenac or issue stuff. By the time your Parklands becomes unuseable (whitish) there might be more issue stuff on the market. I have a 1st gen issue cadpat jacket that has faded, but it's faded in a way that the dark green colour has become more of a greenish brown. Otherwise it is great, works well among cedars and other foliage.
