Where I am, we have about half the guys wearing CADPAT TW and the other half religiously wearing multicam.
Through fall and early spring, mulitcam is hands down the better of the two. Cadpat is too dark (even when softened, many will switch to CADPAT AR or to Marpat). Once everything greens up, the positions of advantage change. Multicam sticks out like a sore thumb in green vegetation with no dead/sand material. It is simply too light to blend well in Temperate Woodland areas.
They way I look at it, is that in any Temperate forest, during the green months.. CADPATshould be your choice, it was designed to excel in this environment.
When Fall/spring hit, you have your choice between Marpat, CADPAT AR, ACU, or Multicam. I personally think multicam would be the better of the previously mentioned for fall/spring, as it will better mesh into a variety of wooded/non wooded areas as opposed to ACU or CADPAT AR. Marpat would be a close second choice, but it lacks the great multi-environment blending ability that Multicam has (ie; urban use and woodland use)
You cant say Mulitcam is better than CADPAT and you cant say that CADPAT is better than Mulitcam. Each was designed for a different theatre and each does its job better than the other in its selected environment.
I do think that mulitcam is superior to any pattern if used overseas in Iraq/Afghanistan/Middle East. It is too bad Crye and the US government had their disagreements, as it is a great pattern that has a ton of potential.
