Will be dusting cap and combats with brown Krylon later today, the tan's just a little light for me.

Haha fair enough.. thats what I hated about my A-TACS was when they faded the pattern didn't look good so I had to wash and dry them carefully to reduce the fading, but with my Nutria browns the more faded the better!

 
by clean i meant un used.. but actually for a decent, realistic loadout its best to take pics at the end of a day so there's some grime on it

 
seen someone in a game here with a retractable ladder on their back. actually a cool idea. thou might be a bit dangerous. as for a short ladder.. I climb thru windows, but I know many that cant, a short ladder could give them a massive advantage...

A quick in-FOB snap of me at STANTA this weekend just gone.

Was going for a SEAL-ish look to blend in with the rest of the guys there, didn't stand out like too much of a sore thumb (with the exception of being the only one without a helmet!).

STANTA in Norfolk? Great place. I got to play in the Afghan village there, the week before it opened to the regs :) (unofficailly with the ACF haha)

 


camo looks even better now ive seen it out. just worried about the stitching quality...

 
I am always really unsure about Tiger stripe not sure if I like it or not.. :)

 
the thing that annoys me about it is in nature stripes go vertical, dont understand why the americans made it horizontal... but i do prefer the slightly darker look of it over multicam etc which i think are too light for the emerald isle...

Tigerstripe was developed for rainforest use in South Vietnam during the war- Vietnamese rain forests have a lot of plant foliage which is not vertical, like this:

The lack of vertical trees means the Tigerstripe pattern is more effective in this environment, and the blacks, greens and browns of the tigerstripe pattern fit in with irregular shadow created by plants, the different hues of green in different plant species and the mud of the rainforest floor.

 
On the tigerstripe front I think it should be mentioned it was a South Vietnamese pattern, not a US one.. as Tacmaster says, US just bought a lot of it privately and the SF did limited purchases from SV companies
