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

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.

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