I liked the Woodland pattern. The lighter weight material faded to light greens, tans, and browns, perfect if you were in the southwest United States.
The heavier material Woodland was the best at forest Camo when it was new. When it started to fade, it faded to gray / blue, it really pissed off the officers the longer you let it fade but still kept wearing it. |

KUIU patterns work really well in high desert sage brush areas.

It’s always area specific. Every few camo patterns can be useful in multiple climate types.
For me I use ATAC FG for turkey season. I also use KUIU verde. For deer season I have the regular realtree/ mossy oak. Nothing fancy. |

Around here multicam works great. It blends with gravel really good. If you are in the thick woods here, no one can see you anyways. The woods are thick enough that you have to travel on the logging roads. If you try to cross country, you will earn every noisy step you take.

Always thought this image made a good case for digital woodland/Marpat. Granted, the position of the pattern swaths on the background plays a factor, but you can really see how a digital pattern diffuses into a background. Its similar to the way different colors on animal fur kind of of mottle and blend into one another.  Attached File |

I wear Mossy Oak Break-up when hunting in late fall - after the leaves are down. I've had people walk by me at 20 feet and couldn't see me.
Marpat is also very effective in our AO when the leaves are still on the tree. My father in-law wore regular Woodland Camo for years during bow season. I swear it was really hard to see him. My son has all sorts of Sitka gear. Good quality stuff and quality patterns. Their Elevated pattern is tough to see when the leaves are down. |

Red I got mine from rus-mil I believe around 2 years back, with suspenders and both are reversible. I’ve always loved the reversible smock/pants idea, and it works well here in the south. They also are naturally “baggier” around the groin and legs, and is common in Russian camo/suits from what I understand and it does make the pants extremely comfortable and easy to move/run in. Edit: I found them. Don’t know if they would be harder to get now or not with current events. Shipping will be more being it’s overseas, but even then it’s not bad, just waiting the few weeks. Partisan M patterns I’ve found are harder to get than the other versions, and if sold stateside they tend to be double the price. https://rus-mil.com/shop/clothes/camouflage-suit-clothes/partizan-m-camouflage-suit-russian-spetsnaz/ |

Kuiu is the best at showing who the hunting bros are. Best camo depends where you are but as an all around multicam is hard to beat. Sitka has good camo for out west.

It varies so widely between terrain and time of year. What I wear late season duck hunting in the marsh is not the same I would wear coyote hunting in January or Turkey hunting in April. I have found the military based camo rarely does good compared to the various hunting based camo, especially if the person is not moving.

I bowhunted with both in the east one trip and got busted hard. Way better success with plain 'ol Realtree AP. Even though I own Kuiu and Sitka, I think the patterns are overhyped. I have a pretty deep granola sport background - alpinism, backcountry skiing, climbing, etc. I can remember hunting not too long ago and bitching about how shitty most hunting clothing actually was. It just wasn't functional for serious backcountry hunting. We used to daydream, "Wouldn't it be sweet if a company made Arcteryx type clothing in camo patterns? Well...that's what Kuiu and Sitka did. They're great for backcountry hunting because of the design and materials. In terms of concealment? They're not gonna make you invisible. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: worst is mossy oak. I used to watch black blobs move through the woods when I was bow hunting. If you wore ASAT or Multicam you'd be invisible, but with mossy oak the pattern is too dark and too dense, turns to black at a distance. Camo is like fishing lures, it's intended to catch people at the store, not in the field. In know several professional bass fisherman who would disagree with that last sentence |
