Comparing various camo-patterns

www.ironwolfent.com has lots of european pattern pouches and vests. Mostly DPM, Flecktarn and Danish. However i think they will only ship to the states. you'd have to check on that.

Mostly Arktis and Wyvern. I've ordered from them before. They're reputable.

Lets See some Tiger Stripe =]

Moonrabbit · July 3rd, 2006, 20:58

I've got full desert tiger, pants and a cap in tac-tiger, I also have Midnight Tiger, but I don't really expect that to do a heck of alot other than look sexy. It's kind of like that russian urban stuff.

I bought the desert tiger in anticipation of Capital storm 2 I think it was called, and also to play on the salamander field.
One thing I did learn about desert camo on Salamander field was that Chocolate-chip works pretty darn well.

Why waste so much money when you can simply build camouflage yourself?

I bet you can't even see me wearing ACU in this picture.

MrEvolution · July 4th, 2006, 18:16

LOL. Oh man that made my day.

Moonrabbit · July 4th, 2006, 22:23

Dude. I got a german top and trousers for $10. Infact it was a three pack of shirts for $10 and a two pack of pants for $10.

@ Luckyorwhat: Nice link! Thanx... :cheers:

AWESOME pics! ACU at 50 meters looks best. It would be cool if you also had cadpat to compare

You're fucking joking, right?

DIMES · July 22nd, 2006, 20:54

Yes I am joking.

I like ACU and Multicam. I have always noticed that they work better the farther away you get. These pics do a pretty good job of showing that. I would like to see some pics up close laying down without a flash. they would all work better if there was no flash.

Luckyorwhat · July 23rd, 2006, 19:44

Thanks! The problem with the ACU is that there are different generations of it. People liked the design, but didn't like the colour. So when the designers found out their wearers were being called Smurfs, they made the colour more beige and green. Aiui. But there's no real way to know what version you have, aside from comparing it to others. And the uniform is designed so that it changes colours along with the ambient lighting, so each picture a person takes can be different.

To be honest, I've seen ACU in about a dozen different places now and except for one, it's been utterly useless at providing any kind of concealment. The one exception is a rock quarry.

Honestly, it's fucking junk. I think the Army just wanted some Space Cam or something to look scary. From a camouflage and concealment perspective, it's fucking garbage, and even the troops on deployment are saying the same thing.

Even if in a good desert cam you won't be well concealed as long as the rest of gear is damn Woodland (Body armor, loadout etc etc) and most combat ops are in close quarter so you'll need an incredible cam to hide you.
