Supposedly, it's been used by certain elements of the Italian Special Forces in Afghanistan and it's basically a derivative of Crye Precisions Multicam camo.
Here's a little bit of info that I found about it over at the "strike-hold" blog: http://www.strikehold.net/2009/12/20/other-variants-and-derivatives-of-multicam/ And, since this is a military camo thread, I'll go ahead and post the "couch acu" pic and get that out of the way early. |

I'd probably buy some of that. Actually looks better than multicam.

I like the camo, but not all of the dang velcro squares all over it. I don't need any morale patches to hunt.

I don't think its particularly hard to blend into a dense forest, but all of the recent major conflicts have been in desert regions where everything is FDE/Tan/Coyote Brown and more so out in the open. |

My buddy, who has camo HBTs (41st armored infantry regiment impressions) has also received similar comments. The scrim in our helmets blends great too. I'll stick with my OD utilities, they work well when employed correctly. |

There are photos of it still being worn in early '45, though very limited by then. |

I've seen a bunch of different patterns chosen over the last 20 years and they all (more or less) suck equally. Separation between "new" and "old" seems to be about 2 hours in Photoshop. More fashion than science? |

Anyone still have the link to the multi-page thread that has been running for some time on this subject. A member here was testing various types of cammo and photographing them. It has fallen out of my subscriptions list.

OD with some local dirt rubbed in is as effective as anything to come since.
