great test! I think that the multicam and marapat are the best but and most unfortunatly i dont make the dissions and neather do most! as evident with the ACU! sadly some one bought a bill of sail on that one and we will pay for that mistake, some more than others!

THESE PHOTOS SHOW THAT ONE NEEDS TO GET THE CAMO SUITED FOR THE ENVIROMENT. I THINK IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THERE WILL NEVER BE AN “ALL PURPOSE” CAMO THAT WORKS IN EVERY ENVIROMENT. COOL PHOTO COMPARISON, IT SHOWED EACH PATERNS PURPOSE AND OBVIOUS IMPROVEMENTS TO OLDER PATERNS. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

I would like to see you do a comparison here in the rockies (Colorado). I agree with doing the test without brand names (list them later).

Very cool test!

I do have a suggestion for improving the comparison: don’t name the patterns, just call one A or B, 1 or 2, X or Y, whatever. That way the preconceived notions you may have about a particular pattern become less of a factor in the when observing the pattern.

Although you guys are probably so familiar with the patterns, it doesn’t matter.

I believe the General, as flawed as the decision might have been, chose the “Urban Track” pattern because of modern warfare itself. Specifically, there is a mindset/belief that most combat will take place in urban environments during future conflicts. Granted, I don't believe this to be the case (i.e. Afghanistan), but that might have been his reasoning for adopting the current ACU pattern. I think UCP blows as much as the next soldier, having worn it during my hooah days. I'd personally go with multi-cam after having personally seen it in many environments. The Brits, if I'm not mistaken, are adopting a version of multi-cam.

I really liked the Mirage stuff. Our team is currently using multicam and its pretty good. The ACU looks good in the sunlight but at night it almost eerie how it glows bright. We were doing recon on a house during a trianing and I wore the “old school” woodlands (still rock for certain mission) and I had to crawl in front of my team mate who was using the ACU pattern. Good comparison.

During the Ft. Bragg testing a few years ago, do you remember testing a pattern called TimberGhost? If so, what did you think of it?
