Hick Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 My opinion is that it is teh sechs, definitely the coolest camo. Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 OVTS works really well, especially for spring time in Montana. Link to post Share on other sites
Md0ggyd0g Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 It looks sweet. That's what SF wore in NAM'. I'm sure some wore other stuff, so don't turn this into a SF camo type argument. Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Not so into the looks, but I don't dislike it and it's somewhat rare. One doesn't see it all too often. Cheers! - CapaciousZepher Link to post Share on other sites

dwade32 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I dont like the woodland tiger stripe, but the desert one is pimp-o-lious Link to post Share on other sites
Nemesis Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I like Tiger Stripe. But I read it works quite well in British environments; would it be too daring to assume it would work in the lands of Flecktarn? I mean, after all, it was designed for jungle areas, wasn't it? So how could it work reasonably well in temperate woodland? I am still a bit sceptical... Link to post Share on other sites
DarkPhoenix Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I love my Tiger Stripe. It looks cool, and it stands out from all the US woodland and MARPAT I see all over the place. Link to post Share on other sites
evansy Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Looks good and works well. I like it for urban too Link to post Share on other sites
Thorbard Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Can anyone tell me a good place to get tigerstripe. Has to be somewhere that will ship to the UK. Flecktarn has it, but the colours are wrong I belive. (Brown and black instead of green and black) Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
Md0ggyd0g Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 http://www.tridentmilitary.com/Tiger.Stripe.Camo.htm I think ships worldwide. Link to post Share on other sites
Jungle_Spectre Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 There are several types of TigerStripe. I have one set like this: And it works quite well in almost any environment, except Spanish summer which burns anything into a brownish tan shade blah, blah (whatever the quotation about Italy says, applies in a higher degree here).

christhesecond Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 tigerstripe is really effective for very thick woodland, im tempted to get some myself as not only is it very useful camoflage it also looks the s*** Link to post Share on other sites

CobaltSky Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Arg so many choices! I'm tired with my DPM so I wanted to get something a little different. At first I thought I'd just go for Multicam, but now the list has expanded to include finnish M92, WW2 Splinter and now tiger stripe. Damn you guys for giving me so much choice Link to post Share on other sites

So how could it work reasonably well in temperate woodland? I am still a bit sceptical... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It works really well in Montana woodland. Of course, the only place I've had a chance to use it in is a patch of woodland that has a lot of undergrowth. Excepting the fact that the terrain is temperate, it would remind me a lot of Vietnamese jungles. My local camouflage expert, a hunter, has pretty much iterated that the only military camouflage that he would wear would be OVTS. And that was last Fall, when everything is scorched to a toasty shade of tan. Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 When you say "tiger stripe" bear in mind that there are several different variations. Personally, I'd have to agree with Jagdraben that the US "Original Vietnam Tiger Stripe" (which is just the brand name of Tiger Stripe Products repro sets by the way) is very good. In the UK, you can buy it from USMC and Soldier of Fortune (and others as well I'm sure, but those are the ones I could think of spur of the moment).... It is quite dark though - so you might also want to look at the lighter colours of the modern Russian tiger stripe patterns. Link to post Share on other sites
Nemesis Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I thank you all so far for pushing me over the edge on the Tiger Stripe side. With the images and opinions in this thread and the "Doc quits DPM" (and a bit of reading on other sites), I am quite sure the next camouflage pattern I buy will be Tiger Stripe.

Thorbard Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Thanks. All the other stuff I've seen has been loads more expensive than what flecktarn has, and the colours aren't that big a deal (the brown will probably match my local site better anyway) since its not for an authentic VN loadout.

BARsrule2 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Just make sure you get the origional instead of the subdued... the origional works better in general (of course there's exceptions). Link to post Share on other sites

SABRE100 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I love my original tiger stripe. I sat down in a bush to take a rest from running across the playing field and 5 members of the other team walked all the way around the bush stood in front of it and yelled at each other until someone finally walked across a bridge. The foliage wasn't that thick and they look in my general direction without seeing me. Although later that day my friends were in some trees and they were trying to get me up there to and we realized that OTS isn't as good as MARPAT or US woodland when it comes to temperate trees. But if you keep low they won't see anything. Which is already my playing style. I love tiger stripe camo. Link to post Share on other sites
