Quote HistoryMarpat is superior. NWU came about because marpat is a proprietary design owned by USMC. Marpat originated from Cadpat. Regardless, marpat is in my biased opinion is the best uniform of the services. Having a woodland and a desert uniform makes sense that the army can’t figure out |

Multicam Tropic or God's plaid. Or MC Arid or DCU if you live in sandland.

Green is too dark, just as Woodland was. Camo should not have the color black in it unless you're trying to conceal yourself on a volcano. Multicam is the most versatile camo pattern. |

Multicam trumps them both honestly.
I don't understand why every service needs a special camo. Seems like procurement would be more simple and there would be cost efficiencies if everyone could standardize as much as possible. Honestly, I think when it comes to camo/working uniforms all of NATO should be wearing Multicam. |

I agree that multicam might be better than marpat woodland, but multicam woodland in desert environments sucks. Marpat has three patterns that are all adopted and are all effective. |

When we used to do field ops in the woods I was always amazed how MARPAT disappeared, I could barely see the other Marines in the patrol.
Which was the woods at Camp Lejeune if that matters. And the coyote flaks did really well also, coyote is impressive at blending in for being a solid color. |

Quote HistoryOr you can buy two MARPATS and wear the hell out of one until it's washed out and the same color as the Navy pattern. I've had a few old uniforms that fell in that category and 1stSGT's were always letting me they were not fond of that new color combo.  |

I think the camo the Navy started using when I got out is the best. It really helps you blend in with the water if you fall overboard.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Tan marpat is okay. Green is too dark, just as Woodland was. Camo should not have the color black in it unless you're trying to conceal yourself on a volcano. Multicam is the most versatile camo pattern. This. Desert marpat is deep winter as well. But the technology itself works well even in green environments, so I would just rock desert all year if it was my call. Maybe in jungles the woodland does better. Multicam is possibly the best “universal” pattern IMO. I think it would do better if it was compressed a bit or kind of digitized. The color blocks are a bit big. I try my best to buy gear in FDE, coyote, etc, and multicam. You’d be surprised how far you can get just wearing a muted green shirt and khakis. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I never understood the point of that uniform. The official reasons “to hide stains and tears”. $2.5 million of your tax dollars for research on a bullshit pattern that made no sense. COTS navy blue BDUs would have been a better choice. Someone lined their damn pockets with $ and the yes men went along with it. |

Woodland "M81" for woods, 3 color desert "coffee stain" for desert.
Never been a fan of digicamo. Multicam is a decent substitute for woodland/et al. given it's available in desert and jungle variants. (guess what I wore  )

But the Air Force aimed high and succeeded in making the worst camo before going with the OCPs. At this point three out of five branches wear OCPs, they should just be adopted by the other two after a lengthy overlap period to reduce the cost of changing.

We had a member do extensive research on IR response to each camo pattern.
I should have saved all of it because he up and deleted it all but if I recall, usmc marpat was ranked among the highest in best all around camo for night operations. |
