How good is CADPAT for northern forests
>>34743513
Tends to be too green/bright for Michigan.

bleach it some in the washer

.....
Or you could be a high-functioning autist instead of just an actual sperg and purchase a more appropriate pattern

You could not be a faggot.
From what I've seen in forests here in Canada, it's pretty unreal
>>34743513
Contrast is too great between the bright greens and dark splotches. At least from what i've seen living in the midwest you definitely want more brown, and even a brown hue to it like >>34743777 Marpat (Technically called woodland digi unless it has the EGA printed on it) tends to work better unless you're hiding inside of a bush in the middle of summer.

It's got a little too much black in it, but it was primarily developed for actual use in the West coast.
Not to say it's not effective in Eastern Canada (Ontario, Quebec, NF) but it's only really useful during the green summers.
Flecktarn during Ontario Autumn is crazy effective though.
Tldr I would take Russian digiflora over Cadpat any day of the week.
CADPAT is like an older cousin to the Finnish M05, and a distant relative to the Danish M84, both which definitely work damn fine in northern woods

How many diffrent styles of camo are there?

For CADPAT?
We got a desert varient, and I believe a snow smock (we better fucking have one 80% of this goddamn country is covered in it 70% of the year)
I'd also argue Marpat and Desert Marpat are also varients.
Cadpat OG being basically the Tropical variety

>I believe a snow smock
Yeah, I haven't bothered to get issued any arctic gear (because fuck having more shit until I need it) but some of my buddies have gotten some of the new stuff.
It's pretty neat, just plain white with digital patches of grey all around.
Looks similar to the Finnish stuff.
>>34744486
>I'd also argue
No need to argue, I believe it was stated somewhere that the US basically copy and pasted CADPAT.
>>34743777
that pattern washes out at a distance, it's functionally equivalent to OD
>>34744486
MARPAT is a licenced copy of CADPAT
>>34745744
Which is functionally better than CADPAT unless you're standing in a healthy bush in the middle of summer.
I live in Oregon, what should I get if I'm surrounded by forest and evergreens?

There's a couple distinctive pattern keys that can be matched.

Yea it was designed for temperate rainforests in western B.C. your state probably has similar conditions on the coast so it should be perfect.
