Camouflage Advice

[Dentonboy]

Flecktarn, M84 or Vegetato if feeling European exotic. 

CADPAT, MARPAT or Multicam Tropic if feeling more N.American.

Or check out the Japanese or Chinese patterns that crop up on eBay if feeling really exotic and unique.

The sites I normally play at are a mix of open ground and woodland. I vary my camo depending on the time of year. 

In the summer, German Flecktarn camo works great. It blends well with the green foliage and really breaks up the obvious outline of me and my kit[...]

Another option is the Danish version of Flecktarn. M84 or M96. It's really good for UK woodland environments[...]

Do your research and make sure that you can get load carrying equipment that matches (if that's your thing). It sucks when you buy a really nice set of kit then find that you can't get other gear to match. 

Cheers for the advice, I'll probably drop you a bell at some point soon to get your advice, as I do think Flecktarn is the way for me following everyone's advice here.

Both being new, fleck is a bit darker overall, less tan and more dark brown in the pattern.  Wash anything enough it gets loads lighter though.

Ah okay thanks, I'll bear that in mind.

It's a close one on darkness, there isn't much between DPM and Flecktarn.

The Danish kit @Trojax88 as pictured works well too despite it having black in the pattern (a big no no in my eyes usually)

There is usually a host of used ATACS FG around, failing that the Danish gear is good value if you can get the tactical kit you need to go with...

I'll have a look on here and some other places for used ATACS FG, haven't been able to find any yet though

Flecktarn, M84 or Vegetato if feeling European exotic...

I was also checking out Vegetato but wrote it off quickly for being too green. Am I wrong here?

wear what you like the look of and feel comfortable in, spend what you feel is right for what you will use it for,  personally i stick to Helikon stuff, i'll also wear the odd pair of combats out somewhere as well if clean!, love Pencott but wouldn't spend the money to wear it a few times a year, wife would kill me first, i went Atacs FG and MARPAT on discount codes!, but only trousers as wear a block colour top and chest rig

remember though, camo does very little in Airsoft at the distances we play, your eyes will pick up any movement....as we have discussed many many times :lol:

We just dress to look cool...well some of us do, i prefer to shoot people   :lol:

Yeh movement is picked up for sure, but ive had on many occasions people literally stood a metre in front of me unaware of me, that's down to being still and the camo working

DPM and flecktarn for me.

Flecktarn can be cheap. I got a full set not so long ago, Trousers, shirt, Parka, 2 hats, Webbing and all my pouches for £70.

That's a link to the site I got mine from, and it opens up a page just of the German army contract they have.

5zl to the £

Expect to pay more in shipping than the gear costs. I think the shipping on my order worked out £50 for gear £20 for shipping! Shipping is untracked and takes about 14 days.

yeah there is an art to camo and movement....someone posted it up a while back 

last game at tudders, a few guys decided to add 'grass / twigs/ to their equipment to break up the shape

Forget about Italian vegetata, all the companies that make it are crap, and the pattern itself is meh here in Italy ?

Want something exotic? A-tacs iX, a bit on the pricey side but you'll surely be the special snowflake!

Funnily enough I would say MTP would have been better this weekend in parts of Eversley.  Lots of chest high light green ferns, thought I must have stepped out into  Land of the Lost.

Looks similar but US made camo for Belize is exotic in my book!

I switched from MTP to DPM + boonie and in woodland it's fairly common for people to /look straight through me/.

Flecktarn is a good, and I';m also fairly partial to MARPAT although I haven't used either myself, I imagine they would work fairly well.

Looks hella exotic. Something tells me that getting matching webbing and trousers might be a little bit difficult tho

Listing is shirt and trousers, no?! For webbing I would do an OD vest. Job done. 

Flecktarn is, for me, just about the most effective pattern I have *not* seen whilst skirmishing.

That would explaine a lot then , must stop wearing DPM the next time I want some customer service then , they always look through me as if they can’t see me !
