Desert cam packs

[Buster80]

HI

There seems to be loads of desert cam packs about,they seemed to be made by a company called pri,not sure if that's genuine issue or not.

I have been trying to avoid dpm as I don't want to look a part time soldier but I'm curious as how the
desert packs look out and about.

Do they look military or can be passed for civvy? Do they blend in wooded environments or will I stand out like a plonker??

Cheers

Buster

PRI is good stuff, Karrimor SF by another name, really.......These packs are really robust and work well. As to whether you look a plonker wearing one I don't think anybody apart from yourself can be the judge of that

No experience of the packs but being, often, relatively light in colour I'd guess the desert cammo packs might take dye to leave them a brown(ish) colour. Brown would be the obvious choice because the darker bits are a sort of brown so effectively you'd dye the rest of the pack to the colour of the darkest bits. That might work for you, and I'd bet there is someone on here who's done it if you ask.

Desert camo is going to stand out quite a bit in the woods. This is why MTP came about, the desert camo that the brits went out ith was next touseless once they entered the green zone, where they thus stood out like a sore thumb.

As for how it looks in civvi street. Like you got it from army surplus If in doubt, stick a rain cover over the top and noone will know what colour is udner neath.

British army PLCE doesn't take dye, due to materials/coatings must people spray painted kit or got it dirty/sun bleached.

The packs are very good and comfortable
