Hi gents, looking at a low alpine sting in Dutch DPU. it seems to be pretty popular on youtube, wondered what thoughts are for thick green forests. Im in tropical rainforest, no direct species comparison in Europe but some of your dark leafy green forests in the UK look similar from photos. Puzzlewood in gloucester for example. Amazing country!

A couple of links of UK forests I can find which have similar ambience to a rainforest. How does the Dutch DPM woodland suit?



My regions forests, all evergreen here. (Some places are darker and denser under tree canopy -obviously the photographer chooses places he has enough room and light penetrating for the subject)


The yellow slashes in the dutch DPM is something I hadnt come across before, assuming this is for autumn/fall season in that country. Or maybe camoflages the suns highlights.

Happy to hear any thoughts, or feel free to use this as a thread to post your dense forests :)

The original British DPM has had many different 'runs' with brighter dyes at some points and greens being almost mint and then quite dark. The Dutch is almost classic late period which always scored highly in sniper competitions in temperate European climes.

In the jungle it was also very good apart from when wetted out as it over darkened the overall pattern making it a dark block rather than disrupting.
