Multicam tactical clothing question.

[Jumprefusal]

I got that guy, I was saying that any Ranger that cries about his Black Beret doesn't know they stole it from another AMERICAN branch of service. I wasn't telling just you to read up on that link, I was talking about everybody that should dig in and get a history lesson.

Oh, thats why you quote people. :-).

Anyways, I don't know how we are on the topic of Beret's, but I think a multicam beret would be awesome.

Judge, you have just changed my view on Multicam.

[Zorak]

Hoover, you weren't all wrong, really. Multicam is, as the name suggests, an attempt to make a single pattern that works everywhere. Anyone who understands the principals of camoflage as well as the designers of MARPAT do can make a better specialized pattern. I absolutely agree that in many places MARPAT blends better than Multicam. Multicam is at least 80% as good as woodland MARPAT in the woods and 80% as good as desert MARPAT in the sand, whereas desert MARPAT sucks in the woods and vice-versa. Multicam is also better than either one in MOUT, although camo in MOUT is a tricky business anyway.

I do what I can.

[Great Troub of Troubistan]

Well the good thing about Multicam is that nature is unpredictable. What if you have woodland on, and then the area around you gets extremely tan. You stand out like Roseanne Barr at a Pagent.

I've been corresponding with the owner of Krukspec, a gear maker in the Philippines, about his stuff. He makes a cheaper combat shirt, and does ship internationally. The catch is that the shirt's not authentic Crye material, but the company does use authentic material in its version of the Crye Battle Chassis.

If anyone has Krukspec gear/plans on ordering some, please let us know how it is.

I was thinking about the Woodland Combat Shirt, but the word "thinking" is emphasized in that sentence.

Ive always hated the look of their "replica" Armor Chassis, its ugly as sin and an insult to the real deal counterpart.

[Psychosis]

I agree that compared to the real Chassis the Krukspec leaves much to be desired, but I think that the Tan/OD versions are cool in their own right (and cheaper too at $90 apeice) given their relatively unique look.
