Marpat vs multicam5/2/2023 ![]() I have come to this conclusion in many of my reviews, bearing in mind, that the pattern was originally designed for overseas theaters. In our European environment Multicam is by far not the best choice. It shows the dilemma of all terrain patterns and the possibilities of patterns specifically designed for certain environments. This review displayed the performance of two camouflage patterns currently being deployed in military and law enforcement. The picture of the PenCott Greenzone setup on the other hand is just a fascination example of working macro elements and the right colors in combination with proper placement on the floor. PenCott Greenzone, close up, prone position My Greenzone setup is not mixed like the MC/MTP setup and consists of an UF PRO Striker XT Jacket and a pair of Leo Köhler KSK pants. After some reading I discovered, that the MC colors actually DID change over the years and even had some differences between the military and civilian prints which were available – that being said, the TAD Gear Battle Hoodie LT is the “greenest” piece of MC in my possession. What strikes me the most is the fact, that over the years the print of the MC pattern had slight changes in color (and I am not speaking about the fact that certain kinds of fabric show colors differently). It is a pair of british service trousers and a TAD Gear Battle Hoodie LT. My Multicam setup is actually a setup with Multicam (MC) and the British Multi Terrain Pattern (MTP). So in the end I came up with 6 pictures of each pattern.Īlso a few words about the garments and patterns: ![]() These three examples were photographed with a wide angle lens at first and then with a zoom that mimics the actual picture the human eye would perceive at the actual distance. ![]() The prone position (to mimic basic up to ideal concealment without using vegetational enhancements).Kneeling behind some basic undergrowth (to mimic basic concealment).Standing in the open (to get an idea of the pattern in this surrounding and if the colors match it).The pictures portray three different positions: I don’t have the need to bash a particular pattern or lobby one, so you can trust me on my remarks as far as humanly possible.Ī short explanation to the environment and the procedure.īoth patterns were tested in a typical European mixed forest with a high foliage canopy and some basic bushes and little trees on the ground. jpeg compression to make it web compliant Blurred my face out since I was too stupid not to look down.I did not edit the pictures in any special way except the following: The pictures were taken at the same time as the SloCam field test in the forest, so I would like to refer you to this review as well to take a look at Slovenia’s all season pattern.īefore I start I want to point out the following – like always: ![]() The reason why I stick to Multicam and PenCott Greenzone is quite simple: Both of them are in operational use to my best knowledge, while most of other new and popular patterns out there are not (despite A-TACS, but I do not own any apparel in that particular pattern family). I conduct them with my best knowledge and the available resources. In the following review I want to present this mentioned material as well as my impressions of this particular photoshoot.Īs some of you might know, I did comparison tests with Multicam and Greenzone before, but I am always trying to improve the quality of my comparisons and therefore you get another shot at this (pun intended).Īs always I do not claim any scientific standard with my camouflage comparisons. In this particular previous review I also mentioned I had taken some pictures with uniform sets in Multicam and PenCott Greenzone as well. In September I published a small field test on the performance of SloCam in the European forest environment. ![]()
