the design looks similar to MARPAT, but what terrain is that horrible gray supposed to blend into oOo:

I suppose they plan to do a lot of city fighting.

Which is exactly what happens with cadpat. You're not supposed to put it through the dryer. I've seen some guys who look like that because the woodland cadpat is so faded.

Anyway, thats pretty cool. I like it.

Yeah, I air dry mine as well. Thats what they told me to do when I got CADPAT, but its obvious that some people don't.

like they are going to really be able to blend into a forest setting with all that gray, just look at the pic with the trees and whatnot in the background, the guy looks like he had day-glo on against the background
also i don't think it would blend into a desert setting either rolleyes:
hell the desert camo the use now is about useless anyways, just look at all the pics of soldiers wearing it, they have desert camo on but wear green flack jackets and packs and whatnot, you see more green that desert camo
you'd think they would have all the gear in desert camo also, but nope annoy: rolleyes:
this new camo is only good for urban anyways, the marines new uniforms that came out last year is way better than this rock:

Is it just me or are these uniforms similar colors to German ones in World War Two?
