What is your favorite camo pattern, and why?


I have a soft spot for m81 and DCU. My personal favorites.



I Like multicam. But everyone has it and uses it. I am weird and tend to not always do what everyone else is doing so I own very little multicam. If someone is wearing multicam now, how do you even know which side they Are on and if they are a good guy or bad guy.

As far as less common patterns, I am quite fond of Atacs and Atacs FG, as well as German flektarn. These are my favorite non super common patterns. I also like ranger green, I might get some solid color ranger green stuff at some point.


What about you guys?

Woodland was issued to me, few Senior Officers and NCO's occasionally sported the solid Green BDU's with the slanted Pockets (Vietnam era) never saw anyone wearing the "Tiger Stripe" BDU's, thought the "Chocolate Chip" pattern was cool because it was such a radical departure from the Green/Brown/Black we were used to....Rip-Stop for Hot Days, was a small blessing.
Anymore, I think whatever actually fits is what I like best.

When I was in OCS in 1984, we were issued woodland, some of the prior enlisted candidates wore very thin uniforms of the same pattern . I think the fabric was called poplin. It was light and thin, great for summer. Never seen it since then.

whenever I had to buy BDUs I always bought the summer weight. In the winter just had to wear the long Johns under them.

You know you are old when issued woodland. Ask me how I know. Lol

My heart will always be for the Woodland camo of the BDU's of the early 90's.

Only in the Summer Weight uniform.

I also like the style of desert camo of Desert Storm.

I love the Night Desert camo as well.

I had one of those Night Desert camo jackets...loved that thing, forgot all about it until now...Woodland, Chocolate Chip....apparently you have good taste!
We were issued Gortex Parks's and Pants under the name something like "Parka, Extreme Cold Weather" which would breath and was water and wind proof, BUT you had to wear the Heavy Polypropylene underwear or Field Jacket/Pants liners...THEN you'd stay warm....had a pair of Polypro Socks that I bought: I swear they saved me from permanent frost bite.
when we were stood up on Drum, we were issued all sorts of experimental Equipment and clothing, but zero instruction on how to wear/use any of it.
