The test also showed the problems the US Army had to deal with in terms of empiric data – not the beurocratic problems of the system. The last one was added because of continuous inquiries on previous reviews.Īll of the patterns are made for temperate climates but also for tropic environments.
Multicam camo plus#
In this review three camouflage patterns, which are fairly new on the market plus an old one, were compared with each other: Multicam Tropic, PenCott Greenzone, Kryptek Mandrake and BW Flecktarn. But pictures show more than words can tell:īW Flecktarn, Multicam Tropic, Kryptek Mandrake, PenCott Greenzone The moss at the bottom is always a good way to demonstrate the naturalness of a pattern. A change of colors would be necessary to blend in with the vegetation.Īt the very end I took a picture with all of the fabrics in a group and put each of them at the bottom of a nearby tree. Multicam Tropic is suited well with its colors but lacks some of the distincitve contrasts which would help with breaking up the shape.īW Flecktarn and Mandrake appear more like rocks. Greenzone profits from its complex mixture of micro-, midi-, and macro elements in combination with the right color range. In doing so my above mentioned comments become more clear. The fabrics are thrown over a backpack, leaning to a tree. Location 3: Clear forest, some brush, scattered sunlight spots.
It would need more green colors and a stronger print. The comb shaped design appears organic but it fails to blend in with the environment. The pattern itself is visible but dominated by its black elements. The difference to Greenzone is striking and Tropic is not as convincing as at Location 1.īW Flecktarn is a black blur here as well. The pattern itself is hardly visible, but visible nonetheless. Multicam Tropic is more darker in this environment and gets a little bit blueish. The macro elements are clearly visible and the brownish colors are working their magic to blend in with the surroundings. PenCott Greenzone has the best color range for this conditions. As mentioned before only the shadows of the folds give away the different fabrics. PenCott Greenzone, Multicam Tropic, BW Flecktarn, Kryptek MandrakeĪt this distance the specifics and shapes of each pattern become more evident.
The only real difference is the fact that the Cordura fabric does not produce big folds – a fact which works in favor for the different patterns since there won‘t be too much shadows, which could reveal the cloths. Nevertheless the differences are not that distinctive that the comparison would be illegitimate. The different patterns which will be compared:Īt this point it is worth mentioning that Cordura fabrics are slightly darker because of the dyeing process, and the specific properties of the nylon fabric. The pictures were exported at a higher resolution to allow a closer look if necessary. Also I intend to allow a better way of comparison between the different patterns this way. This time I decided to put four pictures in one to keep the review short and not as pic heavy as before. The pictures were not edited in any way except of the assembly of the 4 in 1 collages. These images are meant to give a simple impression on how these particular patterns work in a natural environment. After an extensive discussion we decided to take a look at four specific camouflage patterns which are suited for our European region.Īs always I do not claim to make any „scientific“ findings with this tests. Thanks to the guys at Tacticaltrim I was able to extend my personal camouflage experiments even further and can present you hereby an addition to my previous fieldtests.
