Hyde Definition have a new print in their PenCott camouflage line, this one for snow-covered terrain:
PenCott-Snowdrift™ snow camouflage
Further showcasing the multi-environment versatility of the PenCott™ camouflage pattern, Hyde Definition announces the PenCott-Snowdrift™ colourway for snow-covered mountain, woodland and other broken- or mixed-terrain environments.
The traditional approach to "snow camouflage" has been to use a plain, solid white coloured over-garment; however, this does not take in to account the extent of shadows and other textures that actually exist in a snow-covered environment. Some historical patterns, such as the famous German "pine needles" pattern, have attempted to incorporate a disruptive element, and more recently the Finnish M/05 and USMC patterns used digital pattern geometry to improve disruption and concealment.
However, by adapting the naturalistic, complex, multi-scalar, hybrid, fractal geometry of PenCott, we believe we’ve developed a superior camouflage for a wider range of snow-covered terrain than any other pattern currently available.
About PenCott™ Multi-Environment Camouflage
First launched in late 2008, PenCott uses complex, hybrid, fractal geometry to more effectively enable the wearer to literally disappear into the textures and background "noise" of their operating environment.
The PenCott pattern works by dithering the different contrasting colours and tones into and against one another to give the illusion of several more colours, and to create a combination of blurred and contrasting edges and shapes. Complex patterns like this are harder for the human eye to process, and recognisable shapes such as human limbs, or the lines of pockets and seams, become more difficult to make out.
The PenCott pattern is multi-directional, multi-scalar and includes both a micro-pattern and a macro-pattern for close range concealment and long range disruption. PenCott also includes an innovative midi-pattern (middle range), and false edges at the high-difference boundaries of the dark patches, to further confuse the eye.
Through its radical combination of innovative features, PenCott provides versatile and cutting-edge camouflage and concealment across multiple types of terrain and environment – whether the wearer is four, forty or 400 metres away.
