CB or Tan better matched with A-Tacs

My local Army surplus finally stocks A-Tacs and I was thinking of pickin up a set but am wondering what gear color would fit best, CB or Tan?

CB. Tan is, in my opinion, too light for A-Tacs.

A-TACS is pretty light, but tan seems a bit too light for it. Actually Ranger Green matches the best (in my opinion).

CB fit with everything.
Tan is too bright for everything except whide open desert.

Eien · July 30th, 2011, 17:28

I would go with CB.

DEATH2000 · July 30th, 2011, 18:55

CB works with lots. ATACS, MARPAT, Desert DPM. I'm thinking of getting some ATACS and I'm going to use CB in case I wanna alternate between MARPAT as well.

I have an A-Tacs BDU and I've found that khaki works great, draker than tan yet lighter than CB.

It's a fashion show, Fox... we like to coordinate, just not with purses and shoes.

It's like something I heard on the field lately: "What's important is not to be good, it's to be pretty!".

From a gear whore, it make sense.

I don't know if anyone has an A-TACS specific loadout yet. AFAIK, only the BDUs, boonie, and a couple of slings have been released so far. Pouches & vests won't be available until mid-October.

As for a particular loadout, that would be mission/game dependent.
