Pinkfloyd Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I never understood why such a kickass military such as the Brits would use such a sheisty breakup pattern :/ Cmon guy's this is the 21st century... get some MC or digital breakup haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
backlash13 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 I find that most other patterns seem to be solely for one terrain type, i.e CADPAT is awesome in grassland, but not so great in a dark/brown forest. Â What i found with DPM is that it seems to work quite well in mainly greeen or brown areas. Oh about digitalizing it...it looks ######. Its the same pattern copyied and pasted, so much for the main rule of camoflage. no symmetry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 which Molle, vests/etc work well with the DPM Under armour shirt? I just find that in summer it can be way too hot to be running about with the jacket on, although ive never played in just a shirt, are they any good with the sleeves rolled down?  thanks  I find the CIRAS works well with a blast belt over the UBACS:  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
backlash13 Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 from what ive seen though a CIRAS is no way within my budget  Ill stick with the MLE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Multicam? The british military? Does.. not.. compute.... Â Honestly though, it's not all about the camo pattern you wear, the best, most effective camouflage comes from stuff other than your BDUs I've always found. I'm what the average infantryman would refer to as a 'REMF', but even I've got the training to do a serious dis-appearing act in a bit of foliage, nothing beats good use of cam cream and applying local plant life to your helmet and webbing. Â I remember at recruit, week 6 of 9, rifles and combat skills (range estimation, moving as a section, target indication, effective observation techniques etc etc); trekked a little way out in to the woods around the training hangar, standing around as the Cpl briefed us on how to apply cam cream and other camouflage skills. Next thing we all know 3 guys in bog standard 1990's issue kit just melt out of the tree line. It really wasn't particularly dense woodland either and there had been 60 pairs of eyes standing there for a good 20 minutes and not 1 of us wasn't seriously surprised when those 3 appeared.

Grim Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 i thought a poncho or gortex would have been best used at milton keynes lol  Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Jon Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 touche. some kind of ACU gortex is in order then  on a serious DPM kit related note do the dutch combat shirts have a zip like the German ones, as i think they're the same cut but I've only found used ones without zips. only the poppers.  it it just a common mod in dutch circles or are they made like that?

Grim Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 The Dutch shirts are popper only. Â Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Jon Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 cheers  i didn't mind so much with my tri-colour one, but i really want a zip on a woodland one, the poppers always get caught on branches Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hmmm, ive never used my dutch shirt in the field. I never expected the poppers to ger snagged. i suppose you could always add a zip your self. It shouldnt be to hard of a job. Â Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Jon Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) i think its due to my fairly rough and tumble style of getting through bushes and usage of a MAV as opposed to it being a design flaw, and yeah if i can find a black or OD zip on the cheap i might well do so, good idea. i only have a white ones at the moment for some reason. Â incidentally having unpicked the separators in the shoulder pocket i found it just the right size for a cam cream case. although i mostly use it for any junk that wont fit anywhere else.
