There are two different jungle tiger stripe varieties. One is more modern and the color palette is slightly different. But I’d agree I love tiger stripe and it blends in very well in dense vegetation like you’d see in Vietnam.
Tiger stripe is actually effective in certain areas. for example in parts of Washington during fall and winter it does great. but tiger stripe is suited for only certain type of woodland areas
DPCU (Australian) works great, blends into most environments in Australia. I have usd it in the jungle, desert, open grass areas and the bush. and all our field gear was DPCU
As someone who was in the ACF and now the army reserves, I think DPM is better for our environment. From some of the exercises I've been on so far, MTP looks too brown. And this is from being out in the field during winter, which I fought MTP would be better suited for.
Kryptek Highlander is the best pattern I’ve found for bow hunting in central California grasslands. It works great at any distance, especially in open areas. I hunt with a recurve, so I need to get close. I agree though about it not winning on style points. The first time I saw it I thought to myself “why the hell is that guy wearing snake pants?”
The pictures used for the Cadpat MT is one of its prototypes (prototype j) which isn’t like the final camo; cadpat mt uses 5 colours (Coyote, Khaki, Olive, Tan 499 and Black) while prototype j is more similar to Cadpat tw in terms of patterns (Coyote, OD, light Green, Black) and it is extremely effective, it also works well with Cadpat tw in more temperate regions
As a former/current reservist user I can assure you that a man wearing that will absolutely vanish in the Finnish winter forest. Provided he remembers to use camo paint on his face.
I'm experimenting with multicam bottoms and multicam tropic top here in Kenya, since we're going through a drought. I also have desert and woodland MARPAT, and might get some multicam arid. But for rainy season you can never go wrong with MARPAT.
The U.S desert night camo was made because it was supposed to work well against night vision scopes of the time. It didn't do well because night vision became more advanced quickly. Also the Australian camo is a little like beo gam.
The tiger stripes were patterned after the French M1953 lizard pattern. It was never issued by the US Military. It was procured from tailor shops and small businesses in places like Saigon. during the war in Vietnam.
I would say that you really do not know the true effectiveness of each Camo.A lot of SF operators Wear the Camo you despise. You should watch Brent and his comparison in the field for effectiveness.
It’s hard to tell how you are judging these patterns? By looks? Effectiveness? Versatility? Each camo has its own strengths and weaknesses in different environments.
"Bunny ears and love hearts" (DPCU) is quite effective in Australian scrub environments. It was developed in the early 80s by the CSIRO from a computer imagery project of Australian terrrain from desert through to temperate forest. The picture you showed was in a FOB environment. You need to see it in the Bad Bush to make a real assessment.
An enormous amount of Australia is tropical… everywhere in the north for a start. And the colour of Australian plants is unique as you will understand if you spend any time in a eucalyptus grove
The Australian DPCU worked incredibly well in the Australian environment which covers alpine, tropical, temperate and desert. The rabbit ear blotches simulated dappled light in forests and bush land. Speaking from experience wearers in the Australian bush just disappeared.
Have you already see the new dutch NPF camo? It works good here and by next year the entire armed forces will have switched paterns, there are also different versions: NFP multitone, NFP green, NFP desert and NFP marine
Even if the cryptek camo seems goofy up close the fact that it's the only one using depth illusion is even more hilarious since it's super effective from afar
DPCU or "Auscam" can look a bit funny up close, it was very effective for Australia though and you'll find other videos showing it's effectiveness elsewhere too. Also the whole top of Australia is tropical lol.
can vouch it is actually very good for Australian environment. It might look a bit silly up close but it works really well. ua-cam.com/video/D3wqd0ZRVxY/v-deo.html that's a link to a camo test for dpcu and i was surprised it actually works in American terrain
The old AUSCAM was actually very effective in the bush, especially once a digger had got some dirt and dust onto it. The new AMCU is essentially the same colours but in a more recognisable pattern to friendly forces. I do believe the AMCU to be more effective overall, however they are all designed to hide the silhouette of a man from distances of greater than 300meters.
AMCU fails in coastal ecologies. DPCU succeeds because it fucks with how we perceive shadows while also emulating the patterns of broad leaved coastal flora. Post up in dune grasses or lantana scrub or mangrove flats and you're practically invisible. The lighter background is the secret sauce since it works equally well against sand or dry grass. The tighter pattern of AMCU is definitely a step above what DPCU offers in denser bushland, I'll give it that for sure! What's most interesting to me is that we ultimately decided to keep the palette even if the pattern has changed. That at least proves we understand our own backyard and we're not quite chasing the Multicam trend.
Australia's old camo worked pretty well at blending in with the bush, but the newer uniforms look beyond incredible, especially if it's a worn uniform with darkened colours
People who used tigerstripe in Vietnam have sworn by it's effectiveness from what I've seen. It was a niche patter. It was made for the jungles of Vietnam and worked really well out in the jungles of Vietnam. Watching test videos on the internet, it does better out in woodland environments than I thought it would with all that black. But yeah switching to M81 once the Vietnam War ended makes sense.
You know what always works, olive green and then just one day of using it in a tactical environment because this makes it hard to distinguish a person from a small hill or dirt and even in foliage it works perfectly.
My father was in the Airforce during the Late 90s and early 2000s. He was security forces deployed overseas and he used the Night Vision Camo many times, he said it did a great job of avoiding detection while guarding base.
I agree with the comments re British DPM being well suited to our environment. As a schoolboy in the 1970s we were still wearing the same uniform our parents’ generation wore during WW2 and years before that. The British Army subsequently appeared to adopt the American style olive drab before DPM was introduced. Since then we appear to have had several changes. I guess cost was a major limiting factor in the past. I am still wearing tailored suits which since I first wore them I have lost count of the changes in uniform.
The Australian DPCU, or AUSCAM as we sometimes call it, is most commonly referred to here as “Jellybean”! I think we definitely made the right choice updating to AMCU.
Maybe if you do another camouflage rating you could include the dutch nfp, the old belgian camo and ukrainian camo and some more from smaller countries
You say you can't be convinced about Kryptek but the promo pics and me getting hit by a car, in the crosswalk, at night, wearing the night pattern pants says otherwise that shit WORKS
the whole camo science is so fascinating. the need to change your camo from forest a to forest b to forest c makes a more universal form of camo necessary and even there you'll end up with the same "it''s no longer that good" problem. I wonder if there will be a universal woodland, universal desert, etc camo that works day and night one day.
Kryptic is ugly but it looks like it would be fundamentally effective. I was issued M81,Choco chip and night desert...yes im old so I like simple. Im just trying to be fair with effectiveness more so than aesthetics.
Actually MARPAT was based off of CADPAT because Canada had it copyrighted. So if you have MARPAT as an A tier in the other video you should have CADPAT higher since it's what it's based off of and is og.
Majority of Australians live in tropical areas along the coast. In fact the ozzy multicam slightly changes colour once dirt and dust gets on the uniforms and can basically blend into any environment. Very unique colour pattern.
Tiger stripe had black stripes because the triple canopy jungle is very dark in certain places, and there are 5 types of it for vietnam era itself and 10 more in modern times
ESTDIGI or Estonian digital camo is one of the best for forests and green foilage. It works almost the whole year. With snow add snow camo pants (if there is no snow on trees) and ESTDIGI top or full snow camo if it's full-on winter.
I've definitely walked into a position without noticing a sections worth of packs wrapped in DPCU hoochies but the seen the same thing with out the hoochies and the multicam packs stood out big time. Especially after DPCU fades it can be fairly effective
you do have some nice camo there, a very intersting one is the sweedish woodland (M90 camo) i do think they have a winter edition of it too. nice video :D
1:27 that camo will make you shine like a diamond with night vision, even with the Soviet era nods. I hear a story where a few Marines tried it out at night and practically said fuck this shit.

We'll have to see how it does there's really not enough photos of it in action even now
The last one is so horrible (Kryptek)😃. That pattern would work better on grandma's sofa...or just curtains😁. The Frog Skin is badass and I'm getting some goose bumps from it (even though I'm not American). So many legendary heroes have used it, the pattern was ahead of its time (because it still looks good). It's a true masterpiece.
You should definitely react to the Swiss Elite Special Forces Called the "DRA10" it's been uploaded just about a month ago to the SRF DOK channel, would love to see your thoughts!
I get DPCU doesn't work overseas but back home it makes you disappear into the bush really well. It was made at a time it seemed we would only be operating in or around Australia.
So on the topic of AUSCAM, obviously it's designed for the native ecologies Australian soldiers are expected to fight in homeside but it is _particularly_ effective in two of the most frequently encountered coastal and semi-arid ecologies found across the continent -- lantana scrubland and mangrove flats. As the uniform is worn in it begins to fade to better effect in our general bushland as well. So as a domestic pattern it's extremely effective. I mean "he's been standing five yards away from me for the last hour" level of effectiveness. The secret to its success is that it's a four-colour broad leaf pattern set over a lighter background which plays with how we perceive shadows.
The M05 Winter is indeed dope af, and works really well! 💪 that picture is actually originally from Varusteleka, hence the great photo. Always ready to ski to fuck!
The older temperate and arid cadpat looked to blend in a lot better than the new multi. Wierdge move to make a compromise camo, would have thought people knew that wasn't best by now.
I don't think Kryptek is effective but I don't think it's meant to be. It's actually meant to stand out and just look cool. I don't think anyone trying to stay hidden would wear it. People wear it to be noticed.
That tiger stripe camo will for ever be the single coolest camo pattern ever made. It just screams badass where ever you see it.
It would probably be more effective if they swapped out the black with dark brown.

Or for examble visit Zuckerberg and dont want him to realize you are not lizard aswell.

Yep, was designed for NW Europe, and worked well.
Much better than the German Flecktarn which was excessively dark

The easy way to judge camo effectiveness is squint your eyes when looking at the pattern. Real time ops is peripheral vision.
