I have two questions:

1. What's the "best" camo pattern (marpat, multicam, ACU, etc.)?

2. Where can a full range of vests, pouches, holsters, uniforms, etc. with this pattern be purchased? For instance, even Blackhawk seems to have little in the way of marpat.

Thanks.

Mel

This is the best Urban Camo EVAR!

That said,

It really depends on your locale. I live near the edge of the Cascade Mtn. range so urban camo really does work well enough during winter, but during warmer months regular old woodland camo was fine.

That is hilarious. All he needs is a rack of yellow lights on top and he could get away with anything.

Generic woodland...

OPFOR

Well, generic woodland isn't a bad choice, then... ;)

Seriously, there is so much good surplus stuff out there in the old BDU woodland pattern, you should be able to find anything you need. Also, since it is no longer standard, places are having "clearance sales" on many things in that pattern.

Another option is Olive Drab - you can find many things in OD, it's a functional camo color in many environments, and it's easy to "modify" with other colors, burlap, and so on.

+1 with OD

Any good earth tones and keeping your movement to a minimal will render you pratically invisible to most people

There has to be at least one....

Multicam is the best. Anything will work fine....but I do think Multicam is the best all around.

I guess then the question should be more along the lines of:

Is Multicam or Marpat the better all around woodland camo pattern?
