digital camo is scientifically proven to be superior, this doesn't mean that ucp isn't trash

its better because it uses macro and micro patterns that confuse a sense of scale, old camo like m80 woodland only works really at one scale, and looks really bad at others. Digiital camo works when you overlay it over photos at multiple scales

there have been countless tests using photographs with different patterns randomly placed in them, and digital camo wins everytime

It can be made better than conventional camouflage because the digital pattern is very efficient and becoming random visual noise, thus blending better to a cluttered background making the soldier more difficult to spot. However color means as much as the pattern, and the density of it. UCP for instance is an excellent example of poor color choice, it only blends well if you're fighting in a quarry or have spent the last 12 minutes rolling in sand.

Come to my southern hick town and go to wal-mart and you'll see like 25% of everyone there wearing some sort of hunter's camo. I go pig hunting several nights a week all year long so I've always got some camo shirts / jackets in my truck.

I always thought the rounded, white balaclavas with oval eye-holes, as here
>>33128584
always stood out. Ironically, I saw that the black headbands were helping break up the head outline, but the eye-holes were still too stark imho.

So I wondered what would happen if they had printed balaclavas (not beyond a real-world possibility) and a few minutes with paint gave that improvement

>>33138341
The actual winter camo is, I believe, a Danish variant of Flecktarn B designated M/84 Pletsloring.

There was a company in the USA sold a civilian version, but when last I looked it was out of stock.

The Danes are phasing the M/84 out

Hunting camo is much better than military within its specific environment. Since hunters generally hunt only in a handful of areas in their local region, they can purchase the perfect camo.

Military camo must be more universal than that.

As a kid, I thought that scene in the third X-men was cool where those soldiers wipe out the first wave mutants with the plastic cure weapons. And the UCP uniforms and weapons actually looked appropriate since they were guarding a concrete building with gravel beneath them. It does look good for sci fi stuff.

But "clean" UCP definitely looks worse than UCP that's a bit dirtied. After it's got some dirt on it, the light spots are darker and more earth tone.

>why
I have no idea. So I googled "Danish forces replacing M/84 camouflage"

>In 2012 the Danish Defence announced it would replace the M/84 and M/01 with MultiCam, dubbed M/11
M/01 appears to be a Danish desert pattern
>The M/84 camouflage pattern (Danish: M/84 Pletsloring), is the current camouflage pattern of the Danish military. The M/84 is a derivative of the Flecktarn B pattern. Using the same shapes and pattern, the number of colours was changed from 5 to 3 – choosing olive green, light green and black to better match the colouration of the Danish woodland environment. The use of spots creates a "dithering" effect, which eliminates hard boundaries between the different colors in much the same way the squares in the newest digital camouflage patterns do. The pattern is designed for use in temperate woodland terrain. It has been adapted as desert camouflage by varying the colors. It is currently being replaced by M/11. The pattern is designed for use in temperate woodland terrain. It has been adapted as desert camouflage by varying the colors.
>While the M/84 is being replaced by the M/11, it is a gradual process and still widely used by the Danish Defence and Home Guard. It is also very sought after by collectors and enthusiast, due to the quality and rarity. Furthermore, both an Urban and Snow version have been produced for commercial use.

>First introduced in 2002, MultiCam was designed for the use of the U.S. Army in varied environments, seasons, elevations, and light conditions. It is a seven-color, multi-environment camouflage pattern developed by Crye Precision

Perhaps they think MultiCam covers more operational theatres? Perhaps the 3-colour is too restrictive concerning terrain? They appear to be replacing 2 patterns with one. Or there's a drive to have common camo within NATO? I'm just speculating as I've not been able to find any more info (although I've not tried that hard).

>>
>>33147376
I beleive you're right. Around the time when we where still heavily involved in Afghanistan there was a lot of talk about the need for a milti-terrain pattern because we where mostly active in the green zone of the Helmand Province. That meant a lot of shifting between desert-like landscapes and much more green areas.

Now that we (like the rest of Europe) are gearing back towards a more home/defensive oriented military I can't help but think that we should have kept a specialized camo for our own enviroment.
It's not all bad though: there was some negative sides to the M/84 like being too dark and basically too geared towards something like a mossy pine-forest and not the best for varied farmland and bushes (and also urban settings) which really makes up most of our country.

It's already being replaced. People are now allowed to buy and wear the new pattern camies on base instead on the issued ucp which is a multicam rip off, and the ucps will be completely phased out next year.

Yeah, I had thought as much. I will say the H Rig allows for the placement of the medkit or other ALICE equipment on the central piece, giving more room for other equipment on the belt, but the Y-rig is more common and is a bit more accurate for the time period I'm going for

Ex-army anon, here.

My squad all called it "moon base grey" or "moon base alpha" pattern. Crisp and clean it makes you feel like you could take on the bug menace on Klendathu.

The way it was explained to me was that when you arrive in the AO of the given mission, yours sopposed to basically roll around on the ground so your uniform gets the stain or color of the local dirt.

Idk if it's true or the SFC was jerking me off, but it worked in Arizona. I ended up with a slightly greyer Marpat that was fucking aesthetic as shit.

It's not impossible, however, it's illegal for a military manufacturer of CADPAT uniforms and equipment to sell them to the public. Likewise, it's illegal for a soldier to sell any part of their CADPAT uniform or equipment. What you've got there is either a replica, or sold illegally.

>absorb oil and grease to avoid showing on uniform and to extend the service life

That's the exact opposite of normal safety clothing in industrial work.

Clothes should not absorb anything, especially chemicals and oils. They should repel chemicals and oils so there wouldn't be that much to wash off in the first place. Yes, you need to keep clothing somewhat clean if you want it to last. Or just replace it, but you have to be able to do that without any fighting about money etc.

Anyone wearing clothing heavily soaked in oil day after day should really think for themselves and re-evaluate if they want to work for a company/government that doesn't have money for proper safety. Also, long term skin contact with chemicals and oils is not that good for you and whatever would be saved in clothing service life would be wasted when people would need more medical help.

A lot of old hunters are like that. The last deer I shot was with an ironsighted .300 in my fathers(DEC) BDU cold weather jacket, from a ditch. I shot a little high but blew a fist sized hole out of it's spine, it had <10 seconds to live. Then my hunting buddy decides to put it down and ruptured stomach, bladder, and intestines.

the digital part isn't a problem. If you look at the thumbnail of your image, you wouldn't be able to tell at first glance that its just a bunch of little squares.
The real problem, however is the fact that the DOD thought that grey blends into all environments other than a pile of gravel. If you look at the other pics in this thread with theater specific palettes, you'll see what I mean.
