choosing my frst camo set

ryan_7_hockey · April 21st, 2014, 23:27

Hey everyone I am fairly new to airsoft and I am looking to get my first set of camo clothing. I have looked around and I have narrowed my options down to multicam, cadpat, and a-tacs fg. I was wondering what your opinions are for these camos? I usually play in a fairly wooded area or bush if that helps. Most of my play will be in areas where i can use some greens for cover. Also I was wonder if I should get a bdu or an acu and whats the main differences. Thanks!

ACU's are a modern cut, much more comfortable I found.
I myself use combats, for lack of a more accurate term. The crye style within integrated knee pads.
If you're prone a lot and the ground is brown, you'd actually be better off with woodland marpat.
Honestly camo doesn't make much of a difference when you're moving or outside of your environment, so really you just run with whatever you think will come in handy most often.
ATACS-FG pretty much comes off as multicam from a distance
And personally I've always found cadpat to stand out, but I'm used to prairie terrain which has much brighter greens than the canadian shield area.

I like the ACU cut actually. That mandarin collar is awesome.

As for the pattern, it's really up to you. Pick what you think is cool teams are usually divided up between tan/green or digital/analogue anyways.

I'd maybe throw in MARPAT if you're going to be playing in a badland-ish/wooded area because the browns really blend in with deadfall and you've got green in there as well. I'm personally a fan of the Multicam though.

+1 for Multicam. It's extremely versatile, almost an all-season camo, which is awesome since we've got the blessings of the 4 seasons in Canada.

Thanks everyone for the answers I think im going to get the multicam as it seems so versatile. And it seems like it is one of the easiest to find accessories and all of that other stuff. I was looking at getting the truspec version of the camo does anyone have any experience with truspec? I dont have the money for the real crye multicam.

just make sure you get all the same material, the different materials have different tones to them; green, brown, yellow, grey
