Green-based Camo

No mention of Tiger Stripe Camo?

Tru-spec rip stop woodland. Some of my teammates have it and it's awesome. They've washed it several times with no fading whatsoever. Well worth the money and works well with any od kit.

You could use the CCE pattern.

No mention of Surpat at all?
This pattern is by far the best for dry woods, works well in winter and summer. By far one of the best forest patterns in existence.

As much as I hate to recommend it, multicam is a solid option for the calgary area. blends well with the dry grassland areas, and works well in the few woodland areas JOC usually plays in. Eventually you'll want to get a set of green and tan bdu's as that is how most teams are usually split up. You've got a few months/year (not sure when you're 16) to save up for gear.

seals is not a surplus store FYI. I would recommend the baselayer combat shirts if you decide to go with the Tru-spec stuff from seals. Mainly cause in the summer those "bulkier" Truspec jackets get extremely warm(i know from experience especially with a plate carrier or tac vest). I used an OD plate carrier with them and it worked out great.

Thanks again for all the info guys, I decided to go with CADPAT and support my country.

Again, thanks for everything!

Cadpat is nice, just you wont find the real stuff so try and get the same brand of stuff so that your colours match.

Fully aware. Thanks!

Some old CADPAT BDU's accidentally got surplussed.... Mostly the old 1st gen stuff that faded after the first wash AFAIK. As for alternatives, CP Gear's stuff uses the same material and pattern except without IR coating. Alternatively Drop Zone Tactical makes some cool high quality CADPAT stuff if you can find it (too bad they were bought out recently).

Someone mentioned it on page 1. :P

And I agree, I love surpat (me below).

If you want something different, try type 07 camouflage. It's pretty effective both in green areas and tan areas, but especially effective in areas that are a mix of both as seen in this picture.


Less effective if the whole area is pure green foliage, but still more or less works.

At the end of the day, 1 type of camo will be more effective in certain areas than others. There is no "perfect camo" despite what the manufacturers want you to think.

Actually, that Type 07 looks pretty badass. Considering I love Chinese Military stuff, that would be perfect. Thanks!

Btw, if you want real type 07 camo, not Chinese knockoffs, contact josiahleong. He sells the real stuff. However, the cheap stuff also works, but I wouldn't bet on them lasting unless you or a family member knows how to sew.
