Best camo for forest?

[M_P]

The key is not to move or do so very slowly.

This is the biggest thing right here. Movement is the number 1 thing by far that'll give you away.

Marpat works quite well in the UK, and is a little different to the sea of multicam lol

I'm having a bit of a US Woodland revival at the moment, or is it just as new fetish? Anyway, classic, works well and isn't multi-cam...View attachment 49630

I’ve got a ‘tears of the sun’ set up that is one of my more frequently used patterns , always liked US woodland .

Good movie, l understand it's making a bit of a comeback in certain circles, guess they're all sick of wearing multicam and looking the same.

Isn’t there a conflict there?

Camouflage so you aren’t seen, then different camouflage so that you look different?

Or is it really all down to the fashion parade?

Multi cam can work if you move right.   Though i found it worked particulary well in effective concealment for cqb in tall dried out grass...  for wooded greenery, russian digital flora.  But i tend to dress in theme with the gear i plan to use, not really the location im playing. 

Play style and movement is definately is the more important factor in...

dpm is all right, flecktarn is good, digiflora is allright in the right situation.

but the key is how you move, or more correctly don't move. even plain olive can be effective if you're perched under a bush completely motionless.

It was a joke...

But with some truth in it..

Funny you should say that (even as a joke) as it adds a bit more credence to an article I read about the USN special warfare command recently that some units have been seen in old USN spec ops cut woodland bdu’s as a posed to AOR and MC kit , the idea was that its an attempt to try and distance themselves from all the bad PR there’s been in the press about the SEAL’s behavior on ops recently ?

Could be a possible ? OR could be utter bollox ? Who knows ! ?

Equally conspicuous in all environments.

"If you move right" applies to anything including Tellie Tubbies suits.

UK airsofting generally means skulking through woods in overcast / shaded conditions.  That calls for Flecktarn or good old DPM, both of which are designed for ambushing Russkis in those conditions.

Any "multi" camo designed to work everywhere that's being Freedomised (stage whispers: BRIGHT SUNLIGHT, SCRUB AND DESERT) isn't going to work so well here.

I’ve recently swapped from DPM to Pencott Wildwood and am super happy with it. Works really well in British Woodland and has a more modern look being digital based. Also the Helikon kit which is an easy way to get Pencott here is IMO great quality and even greater value considering pants and top cost around £55 each.

Sorry to semi hijack - what's a good source for used flecktarn kit?
Which country's forces use it?
I'm using a DPM smock and trousers at the mo, when I'm not wearing a ghillie, but fancy a change...

it was/is ? Germany's camo, & included a desert version, which if I remember correctly is called tropentarn.

not sure who sells it, obviously there's loads floating around on ebay etc, what sorta sizes are you ?, I've got some bits in the loft but suspect they may be small/med sizes I picked for my son when he was younger.

Ive got some Pencott greenzone trousers i wear with a coyote ubacs and chest rig ....not found a PC top by Helikon and like to match!

also the Helikon Pencott Wildwood as well, the MBDU

https://www.helikon-tex.com/en_eur/mundur-mbdu.html

very comfy and useful, more of an anatomical fit so be wary with sizing....well worth using the discount code i had at the time on Helikon! 

occasionally use Atacs FG or camogrom,  but tbh, its airsoft so not gonna make a lot of difference if you moving to fast!

There was a link floating around on here but i cant remember who posted it, some german retailer selling surplus absolutely dirt cheap.

I got mine in a random militaria shop in bavaria, absolute alladins cave of stuff although probably not the cheapest. Did get a lovely bergen though that's proved a very good investment.

Me three ! Should meet up for the ultimate juggernaut game ! ?????

 

[Skara]

I suggest some genuine A-tacs FG for woodland, or even the newer FG-X for more dense areas.

Being an "organic" pattern it doesn't have any sharp edge like other patterns do and blends in really well with your surroundings. Repros may be too bright, more suited to dry, bare earth rather than proper foliage, but they still work reasonably well..

What some players I know would call “for fuck sake stop fidgeting!” Camo , I find if you follow the proper principles of camouflage and concealment the older patterns work better but the newer patterns work better if you have zero patients and can’t keep still , like most airsofters ! ??
