I have crocodile. Combat pants, fleece sweater, jacket.

It's way greener than any of my tan stuff. It's a good transitional colour.

It looks like you skinned Kermit the Frog and made tights out of him.

They are very yoga combat trousers.

Perilously close to Lululemon.

Could be a conspiracy here.

Why are you bitching about colour? Crocodile is a good transitional

All stuff in picture is legit from dealers or factory.

Crye JPC Coyote
Arcteryx LEAF Alpha LT Gen 2 Croc
Pencott Greenzone
Legit Cadpat
British issue DPM
Pale asian foot

Keep in mind each lot from production will be slightly different. It's a dye and it's not perfect all the time. Some maybe 'greener' or 'tanner' or not evenly dyed.

Lol either it's the picture or those are one size too small. Mine are a nice loose fit, also they get an A+ for the shirts being extra long so you can tuck them in and they never pull out over the day unlike a lot of combat shirts.

Get a stealth suite. It'll cost you (*$200) but they are the best for field use. Wear it under your bdu/ combats!

Not sure if they sell to civi's but i think anything with price listed you can just order.

Raingear in high aerobic activity is really about managing your physical exertion--and your expectations.

These fabrics are extremely high tech, and there are a million variations beyond just Goretex vs aftermarket, softshell vs hardshell. Fabric weight, the number of layers it's made from, and the type of DWR (durable water repellant) coating all play a role.

The bottom line it that you're going to get wet from sweat with just about any "waterproof breathable" fabric if you're running around in it in the summer. In fact, the phrase "waterproof breathable" really does the concept a disservice. These fabrics aren't designed to let air in; they're designed to let moisture out. This happens when water vapour condenses inside the jacket and is soaked up by the inner layer. It then evaporates through pores in the outer layer(s).

On the outside of the jacket, the DWR coating beads off fluid, keeping the inner layers dry enough to facilitate evaporation from within. If (read: when) the DWR coating wears off or gets dirty from stuff like running around in the woods and mud shooting BBs at your friends, the fabric gets wet and can no longer facilitate evaporation.

The solution for warm weather play--look for pit zips and other mechanical venting. Also, don't break the bank, because that DWR coating will eventually wear off, even on an Arc'teryx jacket.

If I were you I'd get a decent jacket with good venting. The Tru-Spec Gen I ECWCS comes in OD, has pit zips, is robust for crawling around and is relatively inexpensive. Outdoor Research often carries stuff in Coyote and drab shades of green. They also have an amazing warranty so you can get the jacket replaced when it reaches the point where other manufacturers (including Arc'teryx) would say the jacket has reached the end of its expected life.

Side note: I'm no Arc'terx hater. I have several of their products and LOVE them.

You might also look at the Patagonia Torrentshell in green, or the new Propper Packable Windshirt. It's far more "breathable" than a raincoat, but obviously far less waterproof. Super light nylon jackets with a DWR coating but no "breathable" membrane are popular among ultralight backpackers.

I have a Gorka 3 from SPLAV for 130 USD shipped from russia. Mine is full digital flora, but there are other colours or patterns. Depending on how picky you (or your teammates) are, it blends fairly well with CADPAT LBV gear. The gorka is totally sufficient for me in anything short of torrential downpour.
