Ok true enough. Rockafella, if you do decide to get any Green for your ACU make sure they sell 'Foliage Green' which is US Issue, lots of sites or stores seel green stufff but its not foliage green. Try www.uscav.com, its not a mega store but it has some small things you might want.

true dat, od and ranger green look wronge on acu, they are too prodominant. definatly get foliage green. unless you go all out and get an od vest, drop leg holster, drop leg dump, od helmet. then you may force the color to work.

Thanks for the tips guys, i will check that link out. Personally i would preffer an ACU or tridessert cam platecarrier rather than the Foliage green. Crappy thing is, unlike you prarie and Alberta people, the ACU, Desert and like patterns don't really work out here in BC, CADPAT and DPM seem to work the best.

ACU works, you just gotta dirty it up. Roll in the mud before an op buddy.

It'll take on the environment's colour that way. It's how it was designed to work for the most part.

Besides, ACU is just cadpat...

CADPAT (Designed in 96)

ARPAT (post 2000)

ARPAT Reversed


In case you missed the similarities:



It's the same camouflage, just different colours.

Except that it is a 'universial pattern' ie. It has no black in it, so that the eyes can not be drawn to it, or distinguish lines. I find that ACU works well, our unit has done work with US soldiers in the field, and it works great. I find that Cadpat is one dimensional and where is works insanely well in one certain environment, it attracts the eyes well in almost all others. Not to say that one is better then the other, both rock, and are made for different purposes.

Um no, it's a universal colour scheme.

The pattern is CADPAT.

That's why CADPAT is listed as CADPAT (TW) or CADPAT (AR), you could technically call ARPAT "CADPAT (UC)" and not be any bit incorrect. The camouflage -pattern- is identical.

That UCP sample you posted looks nothing like the real thing. Take your bullshit elsewhere.

Actually its the SWAT Brand Mich2000 Replica from WGC. Advantage being they are actually the proper size Large, not some weird M/L size like the ehobby ones. Yes the cover is real issue ACU Cover, and I am not wearing it backwards like some people.

OH lol well that's totally different
Ducky got his off ebay, I got Mark to special order mine through his supplier.
Ducky's is a standard issue IBA, paid about 110$ after shipping I think, Mine's a Point Blank and it was 200$ after shipping but I got DAPS, groin plate and shoulder protectors with it!
