The worst is ACU in UPC
 The best is a toss up between, Marpat and Flecktarn   What is your opinion? |

Worst is almost all kryptek, especially blue for fishing types
 Attached FileI'll call it "most adaptive" - Pencott Badlands. Not universal but works well in many places.

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. |

ACU isn't even close to being the worst.
I'm going to go with that blue digital sailor-drowning facilitator the USN cooked up. |

I came here to shit on the acus. I was in the second company at ft. Benning to get them and the unit that replaced Mr on my last deployment while stop lossed showed up in the new pattern. I think the army finally got us all matching acu pattern shit about 9 months before they began fielding the new stuff...money wel.....money spent.

M81 isn’t terrible.
Highlander and Mandrake Kryptek are both very good. Multicam is very good as well. Plain OD that’s been faded a bit is actually pretty darn amazing in both woodland and urban environments. |

The desert storm camo works amazingly well in the NM desert.
My favorite camo is Predator, which is difficult to find. Most camos appear as a single color blob at distance. At close range camo is less important since the slightest movement will give you away anyhow. I've bow hunted for years and have shot Elk within 10 feet twice. |

Camo is like fishing lures, it's intended to catch people at the store, not in the field. That’s because you have to buy the mossy oak for your environment. Most people just get the big box store mossy oak that doesn’t work. I have MO for the Louisiana swamps and different for east Texas and different for SE Oklahoma |

Danish m84 is one of the best patterns ever made, and I am totally not biased
 . Although it is considered a variant of the German Flectarn, it was (allegedly) developed independently, and was issued before Flectarn. ETA: picture of the LT and other NCOs from a platoon I served in:

Always been a flecktarn fan. The bright and dark combo just really does a lot for it.
The comment above about Mossy Oak seems to ring true for a lot of these designs to me, and the staged photos in ideal surroundings, with ideal lighting, from an ideal distance just make me laugh. |

Not necessarily the best but I have a couple of unissued, new condition flecktarn parkas (still have the German flags on the shoulders) that work great in the hills around here. I'd like to find some pants to go with them.

I think it depends on whether you are hiding from men or animals. Multicam works very well for people, but if I'm hunting animals, I think that a larger pattern like ASAT works better.
ATACS seems like a really good idea. Small pattern to blend color, inside a larger pattern to break up outline. There is a lot to be said for HEAT (hippy earth tones) as well. Regular clothes in earth tones blend in in the woods or at Starbucks. |
