Multicam and OD. A good combo?

Amazing KG3 · December 16th, 2006, 00:43

I just started to use multicam for the off season, and all i have for gear is a OD plate carrier. I find, up close, that the OD overpowers the lighter multicam, making a very loud contrast, which could possibly detract from its capability to camouflage. So my question is who uses OD on Multicam, and how effective does it seem to work for you. And if possible, post pics.

So far this is the only pic i can find, keep in mind this is not me.

Its a good set up, thats what I've been using, but a coyote brown is better

I've been using the same recently and I've managed to hide in plain sight once just by not moving. I do have a multicam molle chest rig and belt, I'm just waiting to get some time to sew the pouches I need for it.

Our team uses multicam . Some of us have od vest others have the coyote brown , and others even use the woodland camo. I think both the od and the coyote brown work well with the multicam. It all depends on the environment your playing in and personal preference.

I'll add a yes as well, but depends on the environment as stated above. In fall and woody type environments, a coyote brown or multicam webbing set up will work best, but in leafy areas OD really helps break up the lighter multicam human silhouette. Case in point, the last game I played I was with Bruce, Dirty Deeds, Haggis, Quantis, Garcia, etc. and we were working our way towards the enemy base to rescue our pilots, VIP and SF crew, and at one point I was scanning ahead (we were moving forward together fanned out) looking for contacts, I scanned left to right, then right to left, I got to the middle then saw movement 20ft ahead of me moving right. It was Quantis standing there, because I was looking 100ft ahead of us I never saw him until he moved. He was wearing multicam with his OD mesh vest and pouches.

wow. well in the summer is use woodland or cadpat, but i got this for the off season. Thanks for any pics posted.

Amazing KG3 · December 17th, 2006, 23:30

okay, heres a question, what goes better with it? Tan or coyote? im still trying to see the diff.

Farmboy · December 17th, 2006, 23:33

Coyote goes better, tan is to light

Amazing KG3 · December 17th, 2006, 23:36

score, thnx. i wanted cause im thinking of getting ACU or Marpat as a secondary camo.

swatt13 · December 17th, 2006, 23:43

pry in od

jess in tan

tan is "better" for looks, but od works just as well for camo (breaking up your shape)

Amazing KG3 · December 17th, 2006, 23:51

so swat, in the 3rd pic is that tan or coyote, looks like a perfect match for tan. BTW that XM8 is the shit.

Cortex · December 18th, 2006, 19:19

Yea, I belive that's Swats... I saw a big review he wrote about it, sounds like its kickass

Amazing KG3 · December 18th, 2006, 21:59

oh its his, Swat is nationally renowned for his XM8's. I sold him a custom one myself, not that one though.

swatt13 · December 18th, 2006, 22:08

lol thanks guys. the third pic is coyote, and i believe it was a londons bridge vest. archer 6 is the guy if you want to pm him.

I used multicam and coyote brown and it was just perfect, nevertheless your setup could be quite effective, and nice too!
