Hello out there, ASC people!
I've been getting that itch from winter defrosting to get back into airsoft this season, waiting for the ground situation to improve at the local field and getting gear all lined up. :hammer: I could use a bit of advice though regarding something that has left me in a bit of a quandary - What camouflage would be best for my situation?
Some details of where I am at with current gear and location:
My current camouflage setup is CADPAT jacket & pants, OD long sleeve shirt
My current vest is CADPAT as well, and a more heavily armored OTV plate carrier in OD.
Region of play is in Southern Ontario, so deciduous forest and some pines, etc.
I have had fun using my current camouflage gear but I feel its a good time to move to some new camo, and maybe keep the cadpat for an occasional game. I am planning to invest in both a new set of shirt/jacket and pants, as well as move to (possibly) a battle belt + H harness setup. When looking at getting complimentary camouflage, is it best to match both your jacket or shirt with the same type as your vest, or can having some slight variation work to your advantage, such as a bit of extra brown on the vest to add darkness to your center?
I have given some searching on the forum and found another post where someone was looking at getting German Flecktarn camo, as seen here:

The pattern here does not look all that bad actually, but from a small search so far, have not been able to find a great deal of vest gear with that pattern, but will definitely continue to research after this post.
Another member suggested Kryptec Highlander in response, which is seen here adjacent to Kryptec Mandrake pattern:

I do like the pattern of the Kryptec Mandrake more so over the Highlander, but I am concerned over being able to find a vest that would be able to match it effectively.. Anyone with experience using either of these two able to make a recommendation for them?
Beyond those, the other camo patterns I've been looking at are:
Multicam (

Marpat (

A-Tacs FG (

How do the members of ASC feel about these patterns, or the three listed up above?
With the current Cadpat setup I find that it is "too" green without much of any other colour to help break out my silhouette next to the trunks of trees or in and among dirt or browning foliage in the later part of the season. I am hoping I can find a great new pattern to help when setting up next to trunks and other backgrounds, because not everything will be a great green colour behind me, no matter how hard I wish it! :lol:
