the new american ACU uniforms are MINT, they're well cut and work well. unfortunatly the pattern colour they've picked (foliage green?) which is the grey square digital thing works nowhere but high glare deserts.
it is ace during woodland airsoft matches to spot acu wearers tho, all luminous in the undergrowth
whats the betting that as soon as america goes to temperate climates they either start dishing out woodland again or use Marpatt.

my guess is "fashion cam" a term used for the various patterns that are only used in fashion items (eg pink cammo, or orange)

That's VPL. Used to be popular in the 80's but lost its appeal with the appearance of Lycra.

I think the babe in the pic is wearing that new German camo, Hottietarn

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

Even more British!
1944 windproof camo "the grandaddy of the DPM family"
(note: the familar DPM-ish swirls and pantbrush looking strokes)
Often wrongly called "SAS camo" it was general issue for cold weather conditions to many different british troops including servicewomen, and i recently came a cross a picture of a Jungle shirt and trousers made of the same material, it was adopted by the French during the Korean war, and was also kept in service for the SAS/SBS until recently as it's better for riverbanks/estuarys than DPM.(or so I'm told)

I'd love to have some of this but unfortunately it's so rare that you either have to spend loads on replicas or it's a DIY job!

 

[RAPPLEBY2000]

And I always liked the idea of ASAT (All Season All Terrain).

 

[forrestdweller]

for europe:nothing can in my opinion beat the camo of the NVA (called "raincamo" in english i believe); otherwise australia dpcu of course!!!
