Just stole it from someones website ;) not mine.. its beautiful.. but completely ineffective in my area..
Here and in germany we have a lot of eh.. large christmas trees ;)

the danish camo is more effective in grass/leafs from undergrowth.. like the Dutch DPM it's simply to green
Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.

Stef, you have an "early" 1996 made from 80% cotton.

Current is:

Made from 65% cotton.

So the colors seems different.

The Polyester one keeps it's colour much better.. but is less safe (polyester melts), also, polyester is a lot stronger.

Yes,indeed. But he was also wrong with "Tropentarn":

5 color Tropen is same pattern, just different colors. It seem´s a little bit "pale" and brighter, less black and brown. The three different greens aren´t this "different", they blend in each other. Tropical is not like an European forrest. :wink:

Hi,
not in the West Indies but in Central Africa: the leopard camo was used for Mobutu's guard uniforms in Zaire.
