Just for curiosity and fun, I took some pics in multicam, and real USMC issue woodland Marpet to compare. see what you guys think, yes I know its not scientific
THE MULTICAM PICS 
THE MARPAT PICS 
|
|
Quoted:
saw you in all of them you were well camouflaged in them but i could find you, the first one in marpat is the most obvious but is still pretty impressive. i think the 1st pic in MARPAT is the most impressive. if you think I am in the left upper corner, that not me. I am standing dead center of the pic ad its looks very good to me |

Im not sure which I like more at this point |

Im not sure which I like more at this point oh hell yeah its working great and it took me a little while to find you in most of them i just started looking for things out of place and lines that didnt match but both patterns are doing a great job hiding you! If it was a little later in the day in those pictures it would be near impossible to see you, and if you were just casually walking along not paying attention you would go unnoticed. |

where in KY are you ? cause I just moved to frankfort, and have taken all sorts of new multicam pics in the woods at the Salato wildlife center 
Quoted:
but you gotta admit, its still working prety good to not be in close to heavy brush right? Im not sure which I like more at this point you got to test it through out the whole year, and in a few locations. I feal pretty soon that Marpat will be to dark, as it relates to the background. YMMV |

YMMV I have owned both for about 2 years. so I have a pretty good idea what they look like year round. I took the pics for fun |
Holy crap I finally own page 2!

Here is a little something to supplement the pictures:
Technical Report - Photosimulation Camouflage Test - U. S. Army NATICK - June 2009

Quoted:
I'm either blind, or you have done your job. Speaks to both your ability to know where to use the camo, and the camos ability to break up outline. Either Case - I'm dead. DITTO! Put some pics up with an arrow or something for us blind folks . . . I iwsh I could but have no idea ho. maybe one of the guys that see me in all pics can make an arrow in them for you guys. I am nearly computer ignorant sorry

now that its a little later in the year I will take some more. I will do pics with real desert Marpat if you want. as well/
I have woodland, both marpats, vietnam ODs, real VN tiger strip which is too gree. plain coyote tan BDUs and some ACU. I have a friend with both CADPAT patterns and some other camo if you want me to try those too. oh and I have a set of original NOS vietnam ERDL but I am sure its too green now too. let me know what you guys want me to try and I will tell you if I have the camo or not or have a friend with it. I can even mix some gear in. for instance ACUs with multicam gear. |

Quoted:
The last Marine Corps Times I read said the Army was now moving from ACU to Multicam. Hell almost anything's gotta be better than wearing ACU short of a clown suit. I couldn't fine the article referred to, however, I did find these: Military Times Arny Times Previous Army Times |

I am computer ignorant. please if someone who can, copy my pics and circle. a few guys saw me in all, maybe they can. but I just cant do it. Im an idiot with this new fangled contraption |

Quoted:
the shape of your boony cap gave you away in all of them i saw. its not the shade but the silouett that gave you away. guys. I wasnt trying to make a game of it. I didnt try to make it impossible. I was relatively in the open. to show the pattern not try to be impossible to see, It was to get an idea how it blends. not to see if I was good at hide and seek I will try to take some more pics tomorrow in some other uniforms If I get time |

I'll give it a try Marpat 1 http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/elliot308/Marpat1.jpg Marpat 2 http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/elliot308/Marpat2.jpg Marpat 3 http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/elliot308/Marpat3.jpg 
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/elliot308/nakedfuroutfits.jpg Multicam 3 http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/elliot308/Multicam3.jpg Multicam 2 http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/elliot308/Multicam2.jpg Multicam1 http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/elliot308/Multicam1.jpg I'm really not sure on the MC. OP, am I hot/cold? Direct me a little and I can redo these. On the last pic you are wrong, follow the wires from the left to about 2/3 the way to the right of the pic where ther are some green leaves just above the wires, he is behind the green leaves. Or just head up directly from where it says "Gotcha" until you hit the wires, he is just above there. Even with the circles around him it still is hard to see in a lot of the pics! |
