What are some of the better Euro camo patterns? If you were forced to wear one instead of US, what would you wear? Brit? Danish? Swede?

I know nothing but stumbled on this Finnish M05, L6 and L7 stuff. For all I know it sucks.

This, or German Flecktarn.

ETA:  German BDUs are actually quite comfortable and well made. During the early days of CTD you could get full sets for $2.

Flecktarn and another German variations are pretty sexy and advanced for their time. Actual efficacy vs modern patterns? No idea

Like I said, I know nothing but pretty sure Flecktarn is shit.

Eta, maybe I’m thinking of something else from that era.

I like that pattern.

One of my favorites for the area where I live is Bundeswehr flecktarn.

Probably don't hold a candle to the modern digital patterns, but I'd wager they were a lot better than the US woodland patterns.

I like the Swiss, not that weird red shit they used to sell in the catalogs, but it’s illegal to sell :-(

I've got a Hungarian uniform that one of our exchange guys gave me when he left.  Looks like a slightly different woodland.

I've always liked DPM and now they have their version of multicam.
Or the Dutch version of DPM.

The Danish camo is pretty awesome in the green.



Finnish M05 series is great too, especially the winter.  There are at least 3 types of Finnish M05, not including desert.

DPM. There's a reason it's so widely used.

Austrian 'pea pattern' if you just want something that looks cool and different.

I used some Russian camo back in the 90s for paintball that worked great.

Wonder where it disappeared to.

German flecktarn blends in pretty good in fall time here.

Norwegian and swedish winter camo is very good.
