Marpat would be the best bet for something like that...

As has been said COUNTLESS times before, there is NO SINGLE PATTERN that provides optimum concealment in ALL areas. ALL camouflage patterns are AREA SPECIFIC.

MC might do an "ok job" in a lot of places, but you will ALWAYS find something that is much more effective in a GIVEN area.
That is exactly what I said. Now go to the top and look at the last three photos. Cadpat will work best only if you are in the darker, greener portion of the photo. Multicam will be darker in the shade, just look at the pic I posted. In the open, yep Multicam will work their also, cadpat will not.

Cadpat may be slightly better in the dark areas, but nowhere even near poor in the tans (you will stick out for more than a mile away). Infact it will fail in the open fields.

Multi-enviroment camo is made for enviroments where you will encounter multiple settings short distances from one another. In my case it is a matter of a few feet I can be in thick canopy covered forests that are thousands of acres, to openfields with overgrown hedges for an equal amount of acreage. I have multiple settings, so a multiple setting camo works best where I am. The pictures on this web sight are no hoax www.multicampattern.com. click on images. They have alot more time than I do to take pictures.

Them forests (in Canada) wont be soo green and black in the late fall and winter and spring (the majority of the year). In that case a camo like Multicam or ACU will work best. Even the rainpat looks more like the greys of the trees, just like the pic of it in the open. Seasons are just as important as setting.
