LBX gear is, objectively, over priced for what it is. It seems decent when you give it a cursory glance/try out, but when you do the cost analysis it doesn't stack up.
For me, for many years now it's been much more about the quality of garment available than the pattern necessarily printed on it. So when I'm looking to add a camo pattern to my collection for example I'll spend a long time searching the globe trying to find the best possible manufacturer of a clothing set in that given pattern/colour. I know some folks don't really care about that kinda stuff so much but I find a lot of the cheaper fabrics lose their dye so fast through wash cycles it's pretty ridiculous - and I'm more of a collector than a player anyway so if you're actually getting out and running around (especially in woodland) 2-3+ times a month then investing in the longevity makes even more sense. Obviously there's nothing wrong with most issue kit (brit, US, german etc) but after a lot of testing and comparison I find the non-issue stuff doesn't stand up nearly as well when you go more budget price; just my experience obviously.
Good thing in the states, if you want a green camo, is that US Woodland, temperate MARPAT and NWU3 are all available commonly on ebay. Far more choices made from higher quality fabrics when it comes to US issue gear vs anything in europe. The Tencate Defender stuff in MARPAT isn't comparatively as great a lot of the time but you can't argue the value you can get from a FROG combat shirt. For the same price as LBX my top pick would be NWU Type 3 off ebay since it's far better fabric and people will think you're uber leet in your 'AOR2' but for far less money and in just as high quality fabric you can go with the surplus Woodland BDUs and those things are always pretty awesome. NYCO uniforms will almost always be thinner than PYCO as well since the fabric is more resistant to tears and abrasion so they don't have to weave it as thickly to give the same overall resilience.
