Help in building a gear that fit's Oregon's surroundings

Postby Nadooom » Wed May 01, 2013 5:01 pm

Hello everyone, so I'm still a beginner in building gears. I was wondering what Camo pattern would fit most here (shirt, pants, boots, and plate carrier) I have tactical vests that I'm trying to sell because I wanna change and get a plate carrier looks better to me, I'm not sure which fits most. I had both vests in tan got a couple of boots one is sand color and the other is black, and tan gloves, etc.
so what do you think fits most for indoors and outdoors and what pattern for each item

Thanks.

Depends on where you play,

if its mossy forest, or lots of green. I would say CADPAT works the best.

If its sparce evergreen forests (cedar and fir trees), with not a lot of underbrush, Than woodland MARPAT works great. As does ATACS FG

If you play with a lot of that tall tan/yellowish grass and deadbrush around. With some forests. Then multicam works great. As well as arid ATACS

And if you play at a paintball field with light grey barricades and cover. i would say ACU works great. If you can get over how ugly it is.

I personally use CADPAT (or a close replication of it anyways). And i love it. Blends in great with mossy trees, and bushes. And its not very common, so you can embrace your inner hipster.

in Eastern Oregon, tan based patterns begin to show their use too, like AOR1 and MultiCam.

Or be oldschool as fuq and run hellacag RAID DCUs or 6-color Chocochip.

PenCott Greenzone works in the green areas of Oregon really well, too despite it's near-neon coloring.

Most of the fields in and around portland are fairly green. Multicam works alright, but there is too much tan and brown and there are much better patterns available. Temperate (woodland) marpat, ATACS-FG, and german flectarn all work very well. CADPAT is effective in open areas where there is lots of sunlight, but is pretty bright in the shade of the forest. Old school M81 woodland is making a comeback, and works pretty well in the pacnw. DPM conceals about the same as M81, although a it's a little greener.

I personally own something like thirty different sets of camo patterns, and I almost always wear either temperate marpat or M81 woodland when I want to be harder to see at games.

MARPAT is awesome during the winter months. In the rain it disappears to me.
During the summer when stuff is dried out/dying, Multicam actually tends to work pretty well.
Also, during the early bright green summer months, Pencott Greenzone is pretty awesome.

Tiger Stripe works great anywhere with evergreen trees and ferns... which is most places. Olive drab and coyote brown are both pretty effective for gear, and go with any number of camo patterns. I've hate most patterned pouches and vests.

In the Western part of the state in dense woods, go with Woodland MARPAT or M81 Woodland. Paint your face, wear LBV and boonie with the same pattern and disappear.

Flecktarn is amazing in Oregon, I would recommend a fleck uniform with OD gear, or fleck gear if you can find it. M81 Woodland or Flora would be second best in my opinion.

I've wanted to experiment with the Scandinavian woodland patterns for sometime now. I've heard the greens on Norwegian M75 are rather flat, but I look forward to trying out the M98 pattern instead.

I'd say, if you want to keep it affordable, US M81 Woodland is an excellent choice. Simple, easy to find and affordable, and it works in the woodland environment of Oregon easily. There is some use of British DPM and that as well seems to work wonders.
I'd tell you to be careful. It's not the Tank you need to fear.

Just to give you an idea of what stuff looks like in the wild:

Vegetato. Works basically anywhere.

Especially if you can look like this:
