The tigerstripe may look cool, but it was inneffective in Vietnam. The stripes on the design are horizontal, while things in nature tend to be verticle. The horizontal stripes allowed people to see your outline easily, they also faded easily.

I have not seen the cyrevision stuff-looks interesting
the tiger strip was ineffective ?? thats why the SOG and Recon Teams that wore the tiger stripe camo inflicted alot of damage on the VC in their own backyard.

I'd say it would be near impossible to judge a camo's effectiveness in the field especially in a conflict like Vietnam...Who is calculating how many NVA/VC are catching out G.Is based solely on camoflauge....?? oOo:
